Of Course

Oh... Where do I start?
I've had a billion blessings in 3 days. I cannot wait until tomorrow.
Wow. Wow. Wow.

I own a business. I have an account. It wasn't thought out well on my part, but it's together.

Surreal moment still ongoing.

*smile* (and still smiling)
Continue to the post office. Notice: "mail for Nanook Modeling & Logistics"

Wow. I needed that. I didn't even know that I did.
The next 15 minutes were all about how he knows that the report did not reflect the quality of my work, and that 30% of our grade is for instances where when members of a group drag the grade down, the grade of the individual isn't affected.
"Hey, do you have a minute?" Sure. "How did you do on the paper?" Not well. "(grade, omitted for reasons of my own)"
Professor of class #1 opens door as I walk by. "chance" - b.s. It was an appointment.

Leave work to get the mail - This is where it gets good. PAY ATTENTION.
Oddly enough, I wasn't phased. High of a good test grade, "I don't really need this class", variety of other reasons.
No one at the gym. Motivation at 5:30am wears off quickly if you're alone - Class #1 (like Tuesday) - I had done a homework problem wrong. My business group got a low grade on the report.
Thursday:

Alright. 2 days. Tons of blessings. Ready for the kicker?

Plus the pie was amazing. And primal. True statement.

Told Missi about my blessings, who promptly said "oh! we know people! we can connect you!"
After school and work, went to the LaBean's to make sweet potato pi. (I left that misspelled on purpose because I cannot believe that I made that error. I swear I hit e)
Emailed four professors (3 nuclear's, 1 mechanical) at 6:30am our time asking if they thought it was wise to even consider a degree in Nuclear Engineering coming from a Mechanical background. By 1:30pm, I had all of them respond. "Mechanicals are accepted many times into our program. You just have to take basic courses."
Wednesday:

Then had afternoon coffee with Katie and talked about Oregon State. I'm in the gathering phase of my process. I also went to a bio-engineering presentation for U of M; also gathering. This leads me too

Let's not talk about class #2... Heat and Mass Transfer. I like the material. Boring as all get out to sit through. The book is the best resource. Our midterm was last Thursday.
I swear I messed up the 2nd problem. Apparently I didn't. I feel like a pro.

Did legs in the morning. (I'm still sore) - Went to class #1 - Went to work. Got paid - Went to class #2

Tuesday: 
Accurate Historical Record -

I bet you that was annoying. I didn't say where the beginning was, of course.

Late... Better than Nothing

I'd like to give a shout out to Dan! All is well, in order. Mostly. Steve and I have to play legos in your absence. We're extremely disappointed.

A crazy week. I've raised a business from the ground. "Lighter-Than-Air" a dirigible air shipping and travel company. Dirigible is the long word for blimp and less well known than zeppelin. Anyways, my team gave a presentation about our high initial costs, but our slightly lower revenues. Not sure if the idea sold, but it was probably one of the best presentations that I have given. I watched the video later, and I amazed myself on how well I turned my nervous hand movements into hand motions.

I've also done quite a lot of homework.

Also worked 8.5 hours total on Tuesday. I've crammed in a bit of work in the last few days, I was called with project. I love being able to help and give a real answer. Better yet, I also got to use some of the things that I learned in Pennsylvania.

I've done more homework, and a lot more to go.

I'm getting thinner.
My pants are looser. I've lost at least a pound. (which makes me angry)
But, in other news, today was the first day of Super Ab Tuesday. I'll let you know how I'm feeling tomorrow.
Uh. Yeah. Distracted. Until later.

And primal lifestyle is going well.

In the Beginning

Good Evening,

Welcome to Making Nathan. Created on a whim, a bored Sunday night at the beginning of a semester, at the request of a friend.
The fast title choices were: Engineering Nathan, Creating Nathan, Nathan's Creations, and Making Nathan. With unanimous vote by one person, Making Nathan won.

This will be my thoughts, adventures, experiments, notepad, the place to bounce ideas. And incomplete, grammatically incorrect sentences. Possibly with made up words and poor spelling.

In short, this is all about what makes Nathan.
