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.

Birds

I remember there being at least two instances in which I have seen a bird fly into a building through a window. Probably more, but I can only remember two right now. One of them was about two summers ago, when one flew into a computer center and kept trying to fly out the closed window even though the door leading outside was open.

The other time was today, in the middle of the AP physics exam. Which is strange because the windows had gratings with very little space for things to go through. The bird (a sparrow; probably not of the night variety) also left through the grating, after flying into the closed window several times. No one screamed and flapped their arms like in the daily flash, but needless to say, it was quite distracting. It was brought up later (online) that the bird could have been spying on the super-secretive AP exam, gathering information about the questions to give back to test prep companies… who knows.

Secrecy (on the APs)

Anyone who has taken an AP exam probably knows about the whole “use these labels to seal your booklet” thing they make you do at the end of the exam. I always thought it was kinda weird; after all, the only time I’ve ever had to seal an exam booklet was on the APs.

Today I took the AP Calculus BC exam on the alternate exam date, and apparently because College Board doesn’t publish the stuff from alternate exam dates, we were told not to discuss any of the questions ever. Ever! Very suspicious… although I will abide by it, because they might assassinate me or something. Or maybe just cancel my scores. But that’s still bad. (also, the contents of “question five” in the daily flash were made up, not an actual question from the test)

Oh, and that new character introduced in today’s daily flash won’t be appearing in another daily flash ever again.

Cirno Throw

I don’t really know why I made this, actually. I guess I had nothing else to do. But anyway, it’s based on the actionscript on this site with some slight changes. Drag/drop/toss Cirno! The directional arrows on your keyboard do stuff too. There’s not much else you can do because I didn’t really add anything other than Cirno, but with the power of imagination… no wait, there still isn’t much else to do.

In other news, I will be taking late-administration-date AP exams for the next two days! Tomorrow is Calculus BC and the next day is Physics B (even though I won’t get college credit for Physics B if I do well on it). And I have to be at school at 7:30AM, which is about an hour and a half earlier than I would normally start school (just like when I had zero-period gym!), so I should probably go to sleep earlier.

(Nicovideo)

The combination of two awesome things: Hidamari Sketch and Touhou! This is a parody of Hidamari Sketch’s Season 1 OP, “Sketch Switch,” but of course, with Touhou characters. Here’s the artist’s pixiv page if anyone’s interested (just because it’s linked to in the video description on nicovid). If you’re looking for more videos to watch, don’t forget yesterday’s other post! And now, the rest of this post will be about how awesome Hidamari Sketch is (and some other things).
