Unfortunately, exams are a little more pressing.

Meanwhile, we can look at Jan:


Apparently I was wrong to assume that Jan's photo makes every heart flutter like it does mine. Dave, this one's for you:

Victoria Pendleton: Gold in the Sprint at the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing

Exams are going alright. I had my Intermediate Engineering Analysis exam yesterday, and I've got Fluids and Mechanics of Materials tomorrow. As I was cramming for Fluids tonight, I read over a section on Dilatant Fluids. These are types of fluids whose viscosity increases with an increase in shear (meaning they're disturbed). I immediately thought of the increase in resistance that occurs when I pedal harder on my fluid trainer. Correct me if I'm wrong (and I haven't been able to do much extra research because I've been studying), but I think my fluid trainer might have a Dilatant fluid inside it :-)

I think I might get an A in this class.
