This is the first year that MSU has ever had a week long fall break. I remember hearing, over the past few years, about other schools having week long breaks in the fall, and being jealous. Never again. This is Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, and here's what's happened over the break...

We had alotted this week to finish all of our CAD drawings. I brought my desktop up to school on Monday, so that we could both do CAD at the same time. (Her Mac laptop won't run it.) Monday, I drew for 12 hours or so. I felt sick Tuesday morning, but managed to work about 10 hours anyway, despite a 100+ degree temperature. I felt much better on Wednesday, but only worked another 10 hours or so. I was really proud of myself for working 9.5 hours on Thanksgiving Day, and today, so far, all I've done is type this blog. I had planned on going to the Jackson area to visit my extended family today and tomorrow morning, but that had to get cancelled because of my getting sick. Maybe it should have been cancelled regardless. Anyway, the result is that we have 90% of our CAD drawings done, and it looks like we're about up to schedule.

We're trying really hard to finish our CAD drawings so that next week, we can focus solely on red-lining them, rendering, and building a final model.
