I thinks thats the longest consecutive amount of school work I’ve ever done.

I was in 1019 Furnas, from 10pm last night, until about 6pm today. I’m not kidding when I say straight, I didn’t even go online. I worked on my project the entire time only stopping to piss.

fuck i’m such a procrastinator.

anyone else got a longer run?

LOL, yes actually. I had to design something to spread fertilizer on a push mower as the person mowed the lawn. Fuckin Pro-E is the pickiest program I’ve ever used besides C++.

Word. I can’t count the hours I spent on Genetic Engineering lab work. 8hrs a week scheduled class time, plus you never finished labs on time and always had to come in for extra stuff. God forbid something went wrong, then you’d get to come in for 4-8hrs on a weekend.

no I used a broadcast spreader to spread fertilizer to the side of the mower, so the person wouldn’t have to walk through it.
