roommates

decided the WATER boiler was good for boiling milk...
have decided that not washing dishes is the best call, because rotting vegetables in the sink is appetizing
and on top of that i was forced into eating cereal out of a cup with a fork b/c they didnt clean shit up.

Physical Encounter (Nope, not as dirty as you think it is)

I was chilling outside of office hours waiting for my professor and one of the grad students who ta-ed my physics class last quarter saw me and told me to come into his office so he could help me. We solved my problem and then I asked him what he was working on and got a free 30 minute mini-lecture on particle physics. He was telling me about bosons and fermions and how physicists named different quarks: strange, beauty, truth, and charm. It didn't really understand it, but it was some pretty cool shit.

SCIDM

Southern california invitational drill meet

this year it was held at northrop grumman's facilities. we set up in a giant parking lot and drilled! awesome. basically the USC airforce ROTC hosts this and tons of chair force ROTC units come and a lot of different JROTC units come, navy and AF.

so we go and apparently had to be there for the opening ceremony at 0800 but it dumb and no one gained anything valuable from it. our first event was at 1200 so we sit there and play with ourselves and burn up in the beautiful southern california sun (not to mention how completely cloudless the sky was).

our first event was inspection. which reminds me, airforce cant drill for crap so they bring a bunch of marine drill instructors up from SD, very intimidating. before we got on we heard our SSgt say that they had one entire squad crying from a JROTC unit. stupid high school kids... we fianlly get on and they just start yelling at us and w.e luckily we kicked ass and yelled really loud and knew a all our knowledge. the only issue was our M16A1's from fricking vietnam. first off we took them on a field exercise so they were dirty from that, but due to the oldness they had rust everywhere AND they sealed the bastards together so we cant take them apart to properly clean them. terrible deal. so that was shitty. but due to our loudness and intensity we gathered a whole crowd of people who watched in awe. Kornowski says i was 2nd loudest, only behind one of the girls who was shrieking the whole time, the DI's actually picked on her cuz they found it humorous that she was so damn high pitched. i got inspected twice, by one of the di's who finished with 2/3rd sqd early. luckily i only partially jacked up my 6th general order of the sentry.

Apparently our regulation was good, which is interesting b/c during practice we were always unaligned and such.

thats really it

the interesting part was our celebration. Most of the drill team came over and we had an awesome time. I skipped dinner to go get the party supplies. then decided while I waited for everyone to get here that I would fill up my stomach with some jack and coke instead of eating. needless to say i had a wonderful time. usually when we have kickbacks people throw cans and other random stuff into the pool next door. luckily last night we limited the beer cans, added a beer bottle, and then added a shopping cart a mop and a bucket!

everyone made it back safe and i woke up at 0900 and remained in my state of intoxication till around 1500. and now im having an awful time trying to do physics...
