Getting through today...

Okay, I'm going to sit down and write one long entry today so I can get it over with and just sit down and study. I borrowed a book from someone last night that explains everything really simply, so I think I'm going to study from that for the first half of the day, then re-copy my equations sheet (this time knowing what the variables mean).

I guess we'll start with random meta-type things. This is the short film that won an Academy Award this year, if you haven't come across it yet. I don't know what to make of it... except that it's good, and definitely a little strange. Not sure how I should feel at the end. But anyway...

( Dreams and Memes... it rhymes (if you were listening to Richard Dawkins) )

Darnit, there was something I was going to write last night, but then I decided that it would be best if I went to sleep. Not that I've been all that productive this morning, but I'm promising myself now that I won't watch episode 22 of Gankutsuou until after I've gotten through at least three chapters of Physics.

Oh! Right... so I finally saw Back to the Future last night. All of it. I'm sure I'd seen parts here and there before... especially the beginning. That is one screwed up movie. It doesn't make any sense. And... the way people complain about things like that here, I have to wonder... why did no one shout enraged questions at it this time?! No matter what we watch, someone is shouting ridiculous questions at the screen... what's so special about Back to the Future that it's magically infallible? Is it just that it makes so very little sense that no one questions it? I mean, people wouldn't shut up at all during X-men the night before, and that's fairly simple to understand. Oh, and it's disturbing that his mom falls in love with him. Disturbing. But I'm not saying it wasn't great. And, while I was trying to study for Physics while guarding my computer (which was having a rather loud argument with the projector for some reason... it probably wanted to do movie night less than I did) I realized that our forefathers designed our money to be time traveller-proof. Not everyone checks the date on bills... but in a way it could be used as a safeguard against time travellers trying to exploit the system (you know all those schemes to get into the stock market in the past and invest in IBM or birth control or something). I'm going to have to work on this theory and see that it becomes common practice to check the year on the bill when looking to see if its counterfeit. If the year is from the future, the time traveller should be apprehended and interrogated until he or she hands over the secret to time travel. Then I'll go forward in time and stop Sir Isaac Newton and his devious partner Leibniz from ever going back in time and screwing things up with Calculus.

And Happy Birthday bugboy3001, who I'm sure is only working with calculus to thwart Sir Isaac Newton's plans from within.

Physics... grrr

Now I ded from studying. Brain hurts. I'll get back to you tomorrow afternoon on whether or not I managed to pwn or get pnwned. There's a little less pressure knowing that there are cutoffs for the grades instead of the curve, but a lot still rides on this final. I don't think I've studied this much for one test in my entire life. Freaking Physics.
