Today was ok. Woke upfor breakfast and slept till 9plus and headed down to studio fto build my cube. Reached at 10 and started cutting and building. Builing a perfect 10cmx10cmx10cm cube is harder than it sounds. I finished just nice at 2 just as our lesson was beginning. Pictures on FB. You gotta see it! My cube is done!

What I did was to cut all my sides,and cut some more for those that had too large a margin of error, and find better replacements. Then I wrote out the lengths on each side. Surprising, where I got 9.65 or 9.6 when I needed to cut 9.7, I could find matching lengths on different pieces, enough for them all to mesh together!

After joining all my pieces together and topping it off, I measured with my ruler and found that it was actually quite alright. =) So I'm really happy it turned out fine. Just need to wait for what my lecturer says tomorrow. He'll be checking the size of our cubes! Wish me luck!

After sch I went down to Clementi to buy vernier calipers. I went in a group of 4. There were only two left. I was damn sian/pissed. Freaking suay can? Bloody hell. I SPECIFICALLY came down to buy my FRIGGIN' calipers and they're sold out. I finished my cube so I gave them up to the two of us who hadn't. And returned empty handed but a couple dollars poorer from the stupid transport.

AND I have to make that journey back TOMORROW again just so I can BUY those FRICKIN' calipers again. Yes. Very. Pissed. Zzz. I made a SPECIFIC trip to get it. And need another. CB. Lucky it's quite cheap compared to other places. ROAR. Tomorrow is a long day too. Sigh.
