For the last two weeks, I've been enrolled in the subsea robotics program at TSTC here in Waco. The class covers an array of disciplines, including hydraulics, electronics, and fiber optics. These are all fields that interest me, due to the real-world applications of them. Without training in these areas, all of my projects that I dream-up at my workbench are little more than fantasy.

As is typical for this time of year, I am running a fever ranging from 100-103-degrees. It finally broke at about 2am, but it's still low-grade. I have a theory that it's tied to my allergies to Juniper trees, but who gets a fever as part of an allergic reaction to tree pollen?

I missed a half-day of class yesterday, and so must get back to reading.

Other fun stuff that's happened since the last entry include extra-gigs as a Garrity Motors mechanic in two eps of Friday Night Lights (#204 and #207, I think), and Wire in the Blood...
