Safety Manuals

Had an orientation for machine shop safety today, which was followed by a ~50 question multiple choice test. Little did I know that we were supposed to have read a safety manual (actually, I did know, but I just read the safety guidelines, which I thought was the manual, until I realized it wasn’t) or that we were allowed to print them out and use them during the test, but a lot of the questions kinda seemed like common sense, though not as easy as the ones in the daily flash. Many questions were about things discussed/shown in the orientation, so paying attention is necessary (which I did!). Some of the questions were kinda specific, and I didn’t know those so I kinda guessed, and got some of them correct. The tests were checked right after we finished taking them, and I passed! Actually I don’t think failing it really does anything; you just have to retake the test or something. And yeah. Safety. I guess I will read that manual even though I don’t think I’ll really be using the machine shop that often.

Q-BLOCK stuff

So I learned of this nifty Q-BLOCK thing a few days ago, and made some things. Basically it’s like pixel art but you can make pixelated three-dimensional stuff, and it’s kinda fun. (Character on the bottom right is Mils)

I had these prepared in advance for a day when I wouldn’t be able to update with other stuff, and that day happened to be today! Had a chemistry test today (unlike the one in yesterday’s daily flash, it wasn’t so suddenly announced), and as a summary, I now dislike chemistry more than I already did! What a shame.

Summary: college professors can pretty much do whatever they want! Which may or may not be a good thing!

Rutherford’s Experiment

Based on something from general chemistry class today. Except it was the teacher who brought up the analogy. I normally hate chemistry, but it seems like we’re starting to get some connections to stuff I’ve learned in physics, so now it’s okay!

Programming

Programming is pretty fun sometimes! Trying to figure out what you did wrong is like a nifty puzzle that you solve by trial and error. And through that process of trial and error, you use what you know works well and change the parts that don’t work, and eventually it works as planned! Of course, I’m only saying it’s fun because the deadline for my programming homework assignment isn’t until October something.
