Just so people don’t complain about me never updating… here is today’s update…. it is a copy of my homework that I just finished printing out to turn in in my spacecraft design class… The professor is the director of LASP… a big professional research center… it’s kinda funny that he would ask such open ended questions

Homework #1: General Questions about the Students

1. What do you hope to become? A moderately well-paid aerospace engineer working for NASA in the area of human space flight.

2. What was the last good movie you saw? I watched The Lord of the Rings last night.

3. Coke or Pepsi? Dr. Pepper

4. Favorite childhood memory? This is a relatively difficult question. I’m not sure if I have a single favorite memory, but I would say any memory of my grandmother is a happy memory.

5. Nobody knows that I am… stalker… Well, at least according to one overly paranoid girl who saw me once too often walking across campus. The fact that I’m a stalker is so well guarded that even I didn’t know it until the campus police notified me.

6. If I were going to the moon I would take… a roll of duct tape. NASA can provide the essentials, but when everything starts to break, duct tape can fix anything. I might also consider my Gerber utility knife, but only if there’s enough room once I’ve packed my duct tape.

7. I ate for dinner last night… I ate a bag of M&M’s while I was watching Lord of the Rings. I’m sure this counts as dinner because it cost me more than a Big Mac meal at McDonald’s.

8. Now that I am growing up I can no longer… play on the playground at Burger King. This isn’t something I try often, but they seem very determined in their decision to keep me off the playground equipment.

9. The worst advice my mother ever gave me was… “Wait until your financial stable to get married” I’m not married yet, but if I waited until I was financially stable to do so, I’d die single. No one is ever financially stable. If this was sound advice, no one I know would be married, including my parents, thereby negating my entire existence. Therefore, I think it is fair to disregard this tidbit of parental guidence.

10. I would give anything for a chance to… go into space. Like most aerospace engineers, I truly want to be an astronaut, but my eyesight is borderline, and my height and weight are against me. By the time I qualify to be an astronaut, I’ll probably be disqualified. That’s why I plan to win the lottery and buy a ticket into space.

Now not everything is off the wall answers, but I hope he appreciates the fact that I’m a stalker and I value duct tape over oxygen… We’ll see
