10/19/16: Camaraderie (Backlog is coming! Notes have been taken! Details will be written!)

1. 10/19/16
1. Wake up just in time for StatMech.
2. Class is neat; Prof. Marcel goes into some detail on something I’ve never seen before, the Legendre Transform. He gives a geometrical interpretation of it. The LT allows you to swap the independent variable of your thermodynamic function between temperature and entropy, pressure and volume, and more!
3. Go to SPS lounge for Math Club with Jacob W.! Brandon sleeps through this session, but Jacob, Keegan and I still get to talk about drag on a rocket, derive the rocket equation, talk about the definition of indistinguishability as applied to statistical mechanics…
4. SPS meeting is raucous and camaraderie-filled.
5. Hang out in the lounge working on lunchbox poster and a flyer to sell the last of last year’s t-shirts. Try, with Chris, to hang up some shirts outside the lounge with tape. No luck. Will pin a hanger to the wall, and hang the shirt on that, for attempt 2.
6. Also talk a bit with Chris about group theory.
7. Barely get a start on the E&M hw before it’s time for swing lessons.
8. Swing lessons are fun but I’m dead tired. Team food afterward is good--meet some new people, talk with Alex a bit.
9. Do E&M hw, finish early, end up playing Frisbee with Brandon in the rain in Red Square :)
10. Return, watch a bit of Attack on Titan with Xin, and retire.
