Thfffffft.
Apr. 10th, 2006 01:12 amWell, that's done it. I now have been part of a game in every sport I referee where someone has gotten thrown out. I think the other referee and I agreed on giving the second yellow card, though, so it was going to be that kind of thing anyway. It was a vicious, rough game from the start and the first yellow card didn't phase the losing team, so the second, I suppose, was inevitable. The foul count just started running high from the beginning and would have kept going up and up and up. So it was a train wreck. Utterly and completely a train wreck. The other games were nice and okay, though, so it was a blip on the radar. But it does mean my last remaining hope was brought into the fold tonight. Oh, well.
Watched some softball today. Game one - good, rout by the home team. Game two - not good, strike zone about six inches off the plate from my vantage point (which means they could have been on it for all I know.) and the home team won. (Was a simulated home-and-home.) Although a rally in the last inning made it close.
I remember linking an article some time back about an experiment you could do to stop time. Well, there's also been some discussion on why that experiment works at the same site.
For those with time on their hands, graffiti in their minds, and a willingnes to play around with electromagnets, magnetic paint, and some other tools, try electro-graffiti. It'll obviously take much mroe time to construct, so it's not something you go spraying at night with the police hot on your tail. But the effect could be very interesting.
If, instead poetry is your thing, consider constructing a Fib or two. Poetry according to mathematics, or mathematical poetry, or something. In any case, there's a tie between the two that this might seek to make more explicit. Or it could just be another way of structuring things - after all, some of the best fibs are probably Fibs as well.
Finally, things to do tomorrow, in descending order of importance:
-Print all materials relating to presentation on Tuesday. This includes getting a couple "Guaranteed A" clear plastic folder/binder for the report.
-Actually flesh out and think long enough about presentation to know what one is talking about in it. Said notes will be helpful reminders, but may end up being thrown out the window at the actual presentation. Also, rehearse said presentation so that there isn't much for stuttering.
-Shave.
-Read for other class Tuesday
-Nominal banking material
-Water polo refereeing
-Other things as they may arise...
So it'll be a slightly full day tomorrow, although I should be able to make one giant loop and get everything I need. Really, I shouldn't be as worried as I am. After all, I've made an ass of myself in front of people for a long time now - the dignified stuff really isn't much different, excepting that you can't make vulgar jokes. Yeah, also means I'm wearing a suit into class on Tuesday morning. Yay. But after Tuesday, things get significantly better in terms of stressors - only one in-class exam, and I get a cheat sheet for it. The other's a take-home, so while I'll be annoyed at it, I don't think I'll have too many problems with it. And the interview for a possible summer job happens the day before the exam is released, so it's all good. G'night, as I've already stayed up too long.
