Exams

It's that time again; well actually, that time is almost done. As of now I've written five exams and have two to go. The first four went well, really well for the most part. Today I wrote my fifth in Optical Fiber Communications. What a disaster that was. My new goal is aiming for a pass and hoping everyone else did as bad as I did. When it comes down to it, what's done is done and in the long run this exam will have no effect.

Four days left of this, then it vacation/summer/motorcycle.

I've just wasted a few hours on this game, beat it, but kind of disappointed. The object of the game is to spread a virus through cities which turns people into zombies. The zombies kill the people and once you reach the objective (kill a certain number of people) you beat the level.

You don't really DO anything in the game besides click a few times. There is an upgrading system which is what keeps you playing, but the game is fairly anticlimactic as the ending occurs when you destroy the last city, in no particular order. At this point you submit a high score. Really the accumulation of upgrades and what not serves no purpose other than to beat the game faster. The faster you beat the game the better the score.

Either way, it's a decent way to kill a few hours. Back to studying.

Yamaha Enduro 1971 AT1C

Something I never thought would happen has finally happened. I bought a motorcycle. The seller was listing it as a "Yamaha Enduro 175". It was sold as a parts bike because it is not currently running. When I went to check it out I could see that it was about 95% complete, as far as parts go. I haggled him down to $100 flat. When I got it home I started doing some researche and learned that it's actually an AT1C, 125cc. These bikes are interesting because they have both kick and electric start.

I was told from the seller the main problem is the electrics. It seems someone did their own wiring job. I'm hoping to rip it all out and try to just get it running with the kick start. I haven't even had time to test the compression yet. My goal is to get the engine to idle by the end of the summer. Once I do this I can tear it all down and start making it look nice.
