April 8th
I was late to class. I took a picture of the marsupial laboratory anyway.

Today was our last physics 301 lecture with Mike. It was a good one though. We covered all our material and went outside to look at the polarization of the sun. I had read up a little on the subject, since he told us to go look for ourselves with polaroids (sunglasses, or in Australian: "sunnies") but I do not have any sunnies. The coolest thing about the polarization of the sun's light: Bee's use the polarization to communicate to other bees where they need to go to do their bee business. I had heard about the dance of the honeybees in my Philosophy of Mind class and I always sort of wondered how that worked. Anyway, we found that at ninety degree angles to the sun, it's polarized in different directions because of components of the E field being perpendicular and you probably don't care so I'm not going to explain. Well I thought it was cool...
A little break, where I came home for a bit, and then off to more lab! On the way out of the Village I checked my mail because I've been waiting for a package from my mom (In Australian: mum) and I got a package notification saying to pick up my package from the admin building before 5. Lab was until 5, booo.
Lab was entertaining though. This time Shaheen and I were working with the Zeeman effect lab. Look, pretty TV screen!

This was awesome. I totally needed it today, because I was going to spend all night on my lab reports. Whee!
Jay was absent from both parts of physics today, and after Jay's lab partner Josh didn't see him in lab, I was the next on the list for giving him his assignment. Jay was obviously not faking it when I went over to drop off his work. He had the flu. Sucks to have it so close to spring break.
