Random Thoughts 15: Crystal Clear 2021 Edition
I tried to con my wife into letting me have a moustache and it couldn't have gone any worse. -
Random Thoughts 15: Crystal Clear 2021 Edition
I'm married! We got married on November 7th in a little country church with just our immediate families and wedding party in attendance. It was perfect. We had thought about holding a delayed reception but we've decided to just move on with our lives and celebrate with everyone as we see them... -
Random Thoughts 14: I can see clearly now 2020 edition
NDY! Among COVID, politics, wedding planning, internships, and school I really haven't had the time or desire to be on the internet much. I'll try to give the highlights of what have been a crazy year but fair warning it might get a bit long. When school went online last spring I pretty much... -
Best prank you've ever done?
For some reason my high school's administration decided to take a stand against all things fun for a senior; senior skip day, senior prank, etc. even though most of the teachers admitted we were one of their favorite classes. They said that if any of us were caught participating in these...- RunninMan

I'm colorblind and this map makes no sense. -

Probably a good idea. That's where my fiancee grew up and her mom still lives there. For some reason it's a hotbed for the virus and nobody really knows why... -

Random thoughts from the quarantine cabin: The transition to online classes has been relatively seamless, except for one class. The class was originally in a Team Based Learning format which meant we watched the professor's lectures online outside of class and during class we solved example... -

From what I can tell they're asking everyone to go home unless they don't have a home to go to. Then they can fill out a form to stay in the dorms. The CCEE department sent out an email this morning offering to provide laptops to those who might not have access to one at home. I'm thinking the... -

Any Harry Potter fans on here? I heard someone describe it as when the Chamber of Secrets is opened in the second book/movie and people are talking about Hogwarts having to close and no one really seems to have a good handle on the situation. Maybe not that extreme but I thought it was a good... -

This is my last day on campus. The online teaching doesn't go into effect until after break. There's definitely a weird vibe on campus. Noticeably fewer kids in class or even out and about, and the people that are going to class have an almost cautious attitude about them. It's not like the... -

My professor just tried to record his computer screen during lecture as a trial run for teaching online. It went so badly that he couldn't even connect to the projectors anymore so he had to resort to writing on the marker board. These next few weeks could get interesting. -

I have exams in Fluids, Mechanics, and Calc 3 tonight, Wednesday, and Thursday, respectively. Why couldn't they have canceled classes this week instead of waiting until after break? -

The ceremony will be in Jefferson and the reception is tentatively in Nevada. So it would be an easy drive across Highway 30 and Ames would be right there for hotels. That's definitely a big plus that I think would make up for the drive a little bit. -

Need some input/advice from the sages of RTT: is an hour drive too far to expect people to go between the wedding ceremony and the reception? The church we are getting married in doesn't have much for reception venues nearby other than the fairgrounds and my fiancée's friend works for a really... -

Most professors at Iowa State seem like they don't even try to keep grades in Canvas correct until the end of the semester, and often times not even then. I've gone whole semesters not knowing what grade I have in a class until the final grades are released on AccessPlus after the semester is... -

I just ate lunch an hour early because I'm watching a pre-recorded lecture and the time on the professor's computer said it was lunch time. Now how do I make one of those shortcut thingys again? -

I've never changed my avatar! I think I've had the same name and picture since I started ;) -

If I ever get to meet any of you in person I'll consider it! I think KC has stalked my Facebook before but that's probably the closest anyone has been that I know of. -

True, but hopefully they won't be doing that at our reception either! We're planning for May 2021 so we have plenty of time to consider all of our options.
