AC/DC Theory, Generators, stuff

So I got shuffled around in my classes today. I'm in a streamlined class that effectively put my electrician's training at just over halfway done. It's been fun, except the terrible computer programs and the plastic faced soul eater woman. (She kept staring at the camera with those dead eyes D:)
It's interesting the things you learn as you start delving into electricity and how it's put into effective use. The last section I had was on AC and DC type generators. It's kind of interesting to note that all generators produce an AC current initially and those used on DC devices have to be set up to convert the current over. Kind of fun reading up on where and when generators are used and the costs of maintaining and operating them on a long term basis, not to mention getting it all set up so you have enough energy coming down the line to run everything.
And on that note I get to do the project I've been looking forward to since I joined the class here in a month or two and that's wiring the model house we have, taking up most of the classroom. At least I don't have to deal with the plumbers, that's a different mess all it's own. And two classrooms down next to the bricklayers.
In art news, I'm still up for one more trade seeing as how I'm doubting I'll see the return from one trade at this point anyway. No freebies until I come up with a good contest or somesuch. And of course commissions are up, starting at 10 for an inked pic and going from there

OP
The one I posted right before this journal, one with
Hy_TheGreyKatt and maybe one floating. I did one a while ago but she's not responded with her end of the trade..

Erf. Missed that journal, but, if you want, I can do a trade. Finally got my tablet last week.
