The Past Week or So

So the past week or so has been crazy busy. I've signed up to be on the Smart Radio Design Challenge team. This is the team that works with Dr. Bostian and won basically all the major awards ever given in both the Smart Radio Design Challenges. I had to fill out some of the paperwork for that.
I had threeish tests-Apparently I got the highest score on two of them, and the third one is yet to be graded. Oh, I got the highest score on the Stat test too, but so did 4 other people (we all got 100s). So that's going really well and makes me happy.
Labs are winding down, which is good because I'm definitely getting tired of dealing with them.
Had a project all about modeling the solution to Laplace's equation within a region defined by known voltages. I wrote a nifty matlab program that simulates various situations and comes up with a solution by numerical iteration. The report on that was 36 pages. I'm very happy with the program but not as much with the report, it was kind of a victum of time. In any case I most happy that that one is done.
And just incase you think my life is 1000% about school, yesterday Dake, Paula, and I are sitting in AC Circuits. Just before that class Paula and I had a test in E-Fields, both of us feel pretty good about that one, but Paula was super nervous going into it because she didn't do as well as she would have liked in the first test. Anyway, in as AC was finishing Paula and I we just happy to be done with a long week or so of tests and projects and such, and Dake was happy cause he's Dake. So Dake suggests going out on the town after we all finish our various labs that night. Definitely some of the most fun I've had in a while. Dake, Paula, Angelia, and I made up the EEs for the group, but we brought Angelia's roommate (Linsy the Bio major) and Jen allong to round out the group. Started the night with Salsa Dancing becasue Dake is a big fan of such and surprising good. This was not a fair start though, because Dake is taking creative dance, Angelia is from Peru, and Linsy is from Puerto Rico <-cheaters! I can not salsa. Jen is throughy ok with this because Dake took her for one dance and she apparently doesn't salsa really well either. Paula, (from the Philippines) apparently knew how to salsa too. So Jen and I were just surprised and not so good. Anyway, after all this we went to VT's (the bar that Paula works at), which was made even cooler by the fact that of the 10 people in the bar our group made up 6. That was fantastic! Nathan, in town for the memorial, showed up at VT's around 12 ish. Then all went to Ihop, throughly good times.
Ok that's enough stream of thought for you (no I can not spell)

You're in your 3rd out of 4th year, right?

Are those competitions being published in some way? or you search by yourself?

And hey - we have salsa eve's too at the campus, and I'm also not good at those(:
