*Roger and I had some progress on masuring the voltage and milliamps.

*we built bridge rectifiers and got the reading between 0.1 milliamps to 2.31 milliamps. it depends on how fast we spin the motor.

following the path

my first experience of waking up in the morning and figuring out how can I walk carefully enough not to fall on the icy walkpath.

That was really fun to get the sweater, coat, gloves, and my head on before walk out my place. I bet the first year New Yorkers had this experience and were excited about it on the first day. Same as me, after I had some fun to look at the snow outside of my house, I fianlly made it to outside. found out it's a little hard to walk through the sidewalk. I ended out following with four people ahead of me and knowing all the plastic sheds are quiet useful during the winter time.

it's what I have been waiting for to see snow pille up outside of my window view.
my head was heavy from the lack of sleep (as always.) 7:30am I woke up for my morning class.
my brain was full of memories from the break.( London and Miami) That was a lot of flight to travel through. Finally I made it to get up and realize it was snowing while I was asleep and getting up from my cosy bed. of course, I took the pictures and here they are.
