New Text For People

Whoo! I just got back from a huge, loud rubberband fight in Hoerner, the quiet dorm. One of the students there opened up a bag of assorted rubberbands and just started shooting them, apparently. More people joined in, and I showed up just as it was getting really crazy. ^^ I am quite tired.  (Also note the posting time :P)

Unrelated: I'm starting to worry about my math class, apparently the professor expected tables of embedding functions for our answers, rather than than a brief statement of how they work, like the question asked... (Its like middle school all over again! No!!!! >.<) He also didn't mention anything about tables in class, perhaps he assumes we're just too dumb to think without them? I know I personally don't think in terms of tables until I'm desperate, which is exceedingly rare, so this requirement seems more like a joke than anything. Anyway, if I fail that class its because I refuse to comply with asinine answer formats, rather than a lack of understanding.

Final note: Philosophy has gotten really interesting! Finally. I think I understand Plato's concept of ideal forms a lot better now, and Kevin (the professor, at Quaker schools you refer to everyone by first name...) has directed me towards some texts by Hegel that apparently match the way I think reasonably closely. Fun! ^^

Also, send me email! You have the address... ( I know my audience. ^^)

Settled In

I apologize for the delays in updating this, my life has been somewhat busy. Anyway, fun things:

My mattress pad thing we got at Target has completely and irrevocably flattened out. This is exactly the reason I objected to it originally, in addition to the fact that it bunches up.

I have discovered I would be a good fascist. Vote for me!

Earlham is actually very close to a Purina plant, and so the entire campus frequently smells like dog food. >.< (Its apparently the Purina plant that makes the bizzare feeds, so technically it smells like Purina Monkey Chow, which has an identical smell.)

I have not deposited any money into my checking account for Earlham yet. The bank closes too early for it to be convenient.

I have gotten somewhat good at racquetball.

I miss the doggies... and Christen's dogs too...mainly Giles.

Speaking of Giles, I have started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I've started to like it quite a bit. Kudos to Landon for discovering it before I did.

I have done laundry.

I have started obsessively brushing my teeth. Not sure why, might herald fun OCD times ahead.

Almost everyone xcept me has gotten sick. I'm next... :O

I have purchased one of those rings that consist of three linked rings that you can roll up and down your finger. It is the Ultimate ADD toy.

I have become a complete social butterfly. It is quite funny.

My math prof. has failed to understand Godel's Incompleteness Theorem several times in class now, and has asserted several times that no axiomatic ssystem is complete. This is incredibly funny to me, and any of the Mathcounts homeschoolers who happen to find this blog.

That seems enough for now.
