Wow, Swedish makes so much more sense than English (or a lot of other languages) in a lot of aspects...-_ ( Read more... ) -
Allele frequency??
So...nothing major happened today. I learned an equation in bio (that actually isn't much of an equation in the sense that most math people would think of it). It goes p^2+2pq+q^2 = 1 ( Read more... ) -
The Only Tonal Indo-European Language?
Apparently, Swedish is a tonal language! But the tones aren't written and you can ignore them if you want, since there are so many dialects of Swedish that accent doesn't matter a whole lot and the two tones aren't totally important. There are only a few words where the tone you say them with affects the meaning.

The concert last night was AMAZING! I didn't get home until around 11:40 or something but that hardly matters. It was totally worth it ( Read more... ) -
The Bird of Hermes is my name
Hellsing came in. It's really excellent, definitely not just your typical action manga. There's a lot of references to mythology (like the title, which is referenced..."The Bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame," which comes from a scroll of alchemy written in the 16th century called the Ripley Scroll), and a lot of links to ( Read more... ) -
For Narnia!

People who get engineering degrees get paid a lot and have flexible hours
IBM came and talked to my school today...like that time in 8th grade? Did anyone else see that? Well, anyway, they told us all the joys of pursuing a career in technical/electrical/mechanical engineering. When they asked if anyone knew what they wanted to be when they grew up, I raised my hand. I was the first person to be called on, so naturally I ( Read more... ) -

Phantom of the Face
Well, I went to the place I need to go to for tutoring and they took my name down (for bio and english) but I might (read: most likely) won't be able to tutor, because I'm not in the national honors society and I can't be recommended for it because I haven't been in the system for two years...and I think sophomore year is the only time? Well, I ( Read more... )
