So I took a "power nap" today...30 minutes of bliss, if you will. In sleep experiments, if you deprive someone of sleep for a real long time, once they are finally allowed to sleep they'll have a REM rebound and have a lot more REM sleep than non-sleep deprived people. So does the fact that I had a dream during my nap mean I'm sleep deprived? I ( Read more... )

So on the one hand I'm feeling ridiculously stressed because I have this, that, and the other thing to do and it feels like its getting down to crunch time. Which is true. But on the other hand this paper isn't due for 2 weeks which HAS to be enough time to finish it (although "start" might be more appropriate), my project for that class will be ( Read more... )

So I was watching Jeopardy tonight and one of the questions (answers?) was something like you can make candles out of animal fat or this. No one got it. But I knew the answer (question?)...beeswax.

I guess my last two winter terms were atypical for Furman.  Winter Term is 8 weeks long (counting exams) and you take 2 classes that meet everyday for 75 minutes each, each of which is worth 4 credit hours.  Word on campus is Winter Term = H E double hockey sticks.  But my only two winter terms were excessively easy.  Last winter term ( Read more... )

So I'm back and Furman AND today is my I've Been in America for a Month Anniversary. Being back at Furman is kind of weird because I don't recognize a LOT of people and Furman is kind of weird anyways. But its fun too. My apartment is AWESOME to say the least and classes are going great so far...maybe because I haven't had any tests yet? And I ( Read more... )
