Haha! Losers...

Yea, so there's ~3 teams out testing and working on their MechE cars in the hall in 'schlag right now...sucks for them. My group's done. Our car worked fine at the last review, and its only gotten faster since then.

What follows is some glorious mixture of musings and procrastination:
It has been said that love is like Pi; irrational and very important.
I spent a bit of time today with someone I hadn't seen in a long time, and it was really great.
We met relatively early this year. I think she talked to me first, but I honestly don't remember. She's a really great person to be around, and over time I sorta gained a 'thing' for her. That feeling had faded over time and tonight I was reminded of why I was attracted to her. It got me to thinking afterwards: Did I find her attractive because with all these awesome traits I felt I should be attracted to her (never minding her sexy bod)? Or was/am I actually attacted to her? Is there a difference?
The engineer in me wishes there was a little indicator light, or some litmus or pH test where I could compare such things to and know the answer. I feel like I missed out on learning this stuff at some point. When? I don't really know. It just seems like at some indeterminant point most people had a better idea of what was going on with such things that I did. Perhaps it's because I wasn't really concerned with love interests till mid junior year, and I've been playing catch-up since. Who knows? Probably noone. I wish I knew, then I wouldn't be so confused and (hopefully) happier.
It's the whole uncertainty of it all that drives me crazy. "What's she think of me?" and whatnot, never mind me not knowing what I think of someone. I really used to think I was good at reading people, but I really don't know anymore. Too often I let my own hopes and desires taint my perceptions of people and then eventually I realize and that disappoints me, or I don't realize until too late and then the disappointment's no longer just in my head, it's talking to me face-to-face, and I'm too much of a weakling to do anything other than just sit and nod my head. Arg!
That's something about this aforementioned person I really like, I feel really comfortable around her. I don't stutter and misspeak nearly as much when I'm talking to her. Positively lucid (I've been yearning to use that word all week, for some reason) I am. Does that mean something? I sort of hope it does.

Right...so in other news, builds went alright...we got the set built, basically. Stuff's been figured out. Load-in will be relatively easy, but still won't be 'fun' and I'll still be out late the morning of the last day of classes.
That and I think I'm getting sick. All you sick people are stupid turd-heads.
