Discoflamingo13's Journal: Math Modeling Contest, Day 3.5

So here we are, our final results due in less than 36 hours, and things are finally beginning to take hold. Like this caffeine rush. Ahhh . . . endorphins.

Not much to report on, lately. Odd that. Trying to solve the airline overbooking problem (Problem B) has occupied most of my time, when Slivken isn't wailing on my ass in chess, and I'm not doing my usual "wake up, lumber out of bed, experience existential dread, take medication, drink coke, surf web, class stuff, eat something, more class stuff, eat dinner, work out problem with stupid Linux users, contemplate my own mortality, read Lensman, adjust headphones, sleep" thing. Pretty much the norm right about now.

I usually don't talk too much about other people here. At least, they don't always know it. It's the same with the rest of life- set up hoops, watch others jump through them, smile with amusement. There's more to it than that, but I have a strange feeling that this is a peculiarly INTJ thing to think. And I have such nice hoops.

The MCM!!!

[heliocentric]

I loved doing the MCM. I did it two years straight and then transfered to another campus where the students seemed kinda "limp" as far as involvement. Getting a complete team for the ACM was hard enough.

The years I was in it my team had the MRI slicing one and the Dino Attack/Flee one. It was a blast!

Well, what I remember of the rules you're not supposed to seek outside assistance so I won't even comment on what books or classes I took.

Have fun!
