Wow. So, last week was busy. And I mean really busy. Knocked out two finals this week. Finals that I had to STUDY for, of all things. I'm just about dead off my feet ('cuz why would I be on my feet?) Hopefully now I can get through some of that stuff that doesn't actually matter for anything but I like doing anyways. Like getting through the ( Read more... )

Why is it that anti-religious groups get upset over Christmas, but no one cares much about St. Valentine's day. Or do they, and I just haven't seen?

Either way it doesn't really affect me. There's things to be said about having a significant other, but at least you get to keep your soul when you're single.

So, it has been wet lately, but it is now dry. Actually, it's pretty awsome here on clear days, because when it's clear enough there are ceratin places where you can go and see the Golden Gate bridge in the distance. Plus, I really need to invest in an umbrella, or something with a hood ( Read more... )

So I was buying bagels the other day, and of the kind I wanted they only had two kinds: "plain" and "everything." Now, maybe it's just me, but how can one choose between two extremes like that? What about those of us who prefer moderation? The world isn't black and white, you bagel producers of the world. I ended up getting a bag of each. I ( Read more... )

I hearby officially invite anybody and everybody reading this to a hypothetical play by post RPG, probably DnD. The reasons for this are twofold 1) a lot of us find this "work" thing to be a popular option, and it isn't easy to get enough people together consistantly, even at the best of times, and 2) it might be fun. Now, I should say up front ( Read more... )

Getting into the really hardcore math now, and, interestingly enough, there isn't actually that much math involved. So to speak, anyways. It's all this wierd abstract stuff, going back and examining the fundamental assumptions and mechanics, then messing with them and see what happens on large scales. It's like, instead of using that old ( Read more... )

Got to have a good talk with mom driving here from Berkeley, which always turns out to be kind of interesting. We got to talking about family, and I kind of realized for the first time that my grandmother is someone I should probably find out more about before she dies. As it turns out she came here escaping the fascist regime in Italy. It's why ( Read more... )

You know what's depressing? This semester is almost exactly like last semester, just different. I have physics, same time same place. I believe I have math at the same time (I can't remember since I didn't really go to lectures) but it's definitely the same place, as is the discussion section. At least I have logic to spice up my life ( Read more... )

So, back in Berkeley. Ah, tonight I can fall asleep to the melodic sound of drunks shouting at each other, and go to school amidst the druggies muttering to themselves. It won't be all fun and games, though. I have, like, physics and stuff. Blah ( Read more... )

Woo, haven't slept since whenever I woke up yesterday. I'm still in that zone where I'm not really tired, just wierd feelin', but I have a feeling it will all crashing down on me like the alliance on Serenety Valley at some point and I'll be totally unconcious. Right now, though, I just feel oddly lucid, if a bit too overfull in the brain. I ( Read more... )
