Passage of time
I'm reviewing 2005 with an arbitrary excerpt from the first entry of each month.
January: This year, I vow to play more Super Smash Bros. Melee. Though I bet that's going to happen anyway.
February: R.I.P. Arthur Miller. I found out during English class. Most people asked, "He's still alive?" (Well, no; he just died last night) or said, "Who's Arthur Miller?"
March: It feels really weird to run into your teacher at the gym.
April:
May: Underclassmen should stop asking me whether I "like" AP or IB tests better.
June: Those of you who know me will not recall that when my Theory of Knowledge class took a field trip to DC for our Art unit, I completed my work at the Hirshhorn (like a good student) and then snuck away to the Air and Space Museum for a much more enriching day.
July: I've never heard the term "fashion plate" for model, but at least it's obvious in context.
August: I went to Shadowland with some friends who used names from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as aliases. I chose the name Michelangelo, which sparked a debate over whether the proper spelling of the Renaissance painter was used for the cartoon, especially considering that the turtles are from Queens and their adopted parent of sorts was from Japan. Sadly, I found that the spelling is the same for the cartoon, anyway.
September: I don't miss ToK or French at all. I wish I could miss History, but I'm taking it right now, though it's a terrible class compared to IB History 1 and 2.
October: Quiz bowl is amazing.
November: "Horses have an even number of legs. Behind they have two legs, and in front they have fore-legs. This makes six legs, which is certainly an odd number of legs for a horse. But the only number that is both even and odd is infinity. Therefore, horses have an infinite number of legs. Now to show this for the general case, suppose that somewhere, there is a horse that has a finite number of legs. But that is a horse of a another color, and by the [above] lemma ["All horses are the same color"], that does not exist."
December: . . . no, this is just too recent. It would be like VH1 reminiscing about the '90s. Oh, wait.
I want to petition the Earth for a 36-hour day: 24 hours of activity and 12 hours of sleep. Who's with me?
