Musing

Well, the hell of Modhist paper number one is over. He's actually promised a slower reading pace now. Except now, the reading is all about the Middle East. If I may borrow an expression here, "gag me with a spork." For all of you who wanted the Fuzz gone the minute you first saw it, you've got your wish. I still think it makes me look younger, if that's at all possible at age 19. Scratched like hell for a while, but it's better now. I don't plan on making that part of ANY bet EVER again, believe me. Interesting read of the week: The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. Yes, believe it or not, he wrote other books than the Chronicles of Narnia . This, in addition to his other works, are more geared towards adult audiences than the Chronicles , and much more blatantly pro-Christianity. I wasn't even looking for this one when I found it in the library; supposedly his two entitled The Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity are his hallmarks, b...

Being Friday the 13th and all, it didn't really surprise me when the sun went out this morning. I was walking back from breakfast (cinnamon french toast, yum) reading the paper when it just got really dim. I blinked and then it was alright again. See, I'm near a pretty big airport, and I've kinda learned to tune out the sound of really low planes flying overhead. So it just turned out to be some huge plane. How depressing. At least calc was no disappointment. I had my test in there today, all about limits. I'm thinkin' near perfect score on that one... Physics sucked its usual giant exploding monkey balls (ok, if you've never heard my use that expression, I really do; however, it's for the epitomes of suckage, so it's a rarity). I got my first paper assignment of the year in modhist, but it oughta be a piece of cake. Some important dates coming up: ~*~ 7 days till Sarah comes down... in a dress!! (order your 5x7 prints by ...

Ho Does Indy: Episode III Act 1 - Mac lab, basement of library at Marian [Ho looks up from doing homework during his shift and speaks to Coleman, Mac lab administrator] Ho: Hey, are there any Meijers or Walmarts around here? I need to go blow some gas even though I don't have money to do it with. Coleman: Sure, I can help ya. Go out to 38th street and turn left. Go until ya see the big "Meijer" sign. Can't miss it! Ho: (makes what appears to be a blonde look (though we all know that's impossible)) OK! Act II - In Scurf, leaving Doyle Hall Parking Lot (pulling out of his spot) Ho: Whoa, sh*t, that car is awfully close...whoa WHOA...God, I hope that Sebring already had that mark... (pulls out onto road) Ho: Hey, this is a piece of cake...*pause*...29th street? What the hey? Oh well, we'll see where this goes, I guess...(another pause)...That looks an awful lot like downtown. HEY! I'm on 27th?? Scurf: SQEEEEEEEEAAAAAA...

I learned a very important equation today while working on my calc homework and doing laundry that will probably be the most important equation I'll learn all year: x loads of laundry = 70x minutes. Almost missed ceramics class...and DID miss lunch. :-P I think I've also figured out why I think college homework is worse than high school homework. The professors here haven't once mentioned an assignment, except to say that we can turn it in on his/her desk as we're walking out the door. This can create a lot of panicky situations - it sure did the other morning when I realized that I hadn't even started my physics assignment. Luckily it was short and easy, and it only took me 10 minutes. I've taken to writing down the assignment in several different places now, so wherever I look I have to say "OK, did I do that yet?" Putting together my two subjects, we get today's wonderful advancement in college organization: Homework Day. I only...
