The master of multi-tasking...

It's like walking to class while many many geese with diarrhea fly over your head. Actually, it's more like they're sitting in trees, but whatever. ...What am I talking about, you ask? Well, let me explain. Last night it showed a nice thick, beautiful snow and Alison and I marveled at it on our way to Great Books this morning. Around noon after it had warmed up a bit and when I was walking to the MLB from Dennison, I noticed lots of thick, wet, white globs of stuff falling from the trees and as soon as I noticed it, I saw a huge glob fall on the head of the girl who was walking about 12 feet in front of me. The tree had crapped on her... heh. I thought it was fairly humorous. It happened to me a few times, but mine were just small globs, and it was only slushy snow so what did I care...

Physics lecture was fun today. I definitely like the lecture, and I like it more than the discussion and lab. Deutsche Klasse war heute nicht so schlecht als die andere Tage. Around 3:45 I went to the LRC in MLB and watched a German movie: Nach Fünf Im Urwald. Der Film war nicht schlecht... it reminded me of weird artsy movies that Leslie would like (not much of a plot, slow, not much happening, not overly interesting), such as Lost In Translation, or like weird old movies (The Breakfast Club). In a nutshell, this girl has a party and it gets out of control, her dad gets angry and grounds her, she runs away, almost gets involved with two different guys, and goes home. While she is doing this, her parents go out searching for her, find the parents of some friend of hers who stole his parents' car, both sets of parents hang out together, they smoke some weed, get into a fight, wash and blow-dry a dead rabbit... the usual. The rabbit part was funny. In it there were drugs, alcohol, nudity, swearing... such a lovely movie that we're required to watch... and they had my last name (or at least the German version of it). Anyway, it's a very good thing there were subtitles. I worked on my physics lab analysis while I was watching it. The results for part 5 are totally not right.

Yeah, so I don't know if you've heard about my multi-tasking exploits. Last night I was watching TV, talking on the internet, reading physics, and taking a few phone calls. This evening I was watching a movie in German, reading the subtitles, measuring the length of the trajectories, and learning about the lab that I had just done all at once. I'm usually doing at least two things at once... time management.

So in my physics lecture we had to answer three questions with the electronic response things, and I got two of them right. I should've gotten the other one right but I wasn't thinking correctly... I was really close though... well, as close as you can get with adding vectors. I guess I'll just have to settle for 26 points instead of 27 for the day.

I only got 5ish hours of sleep last night and I'm functioning really well. It's been a breakthrough for me.

I tend to relate things to things I have recently learned. In Great Books, the big thing has been Plato's theory of forms and, at least in the first book, love. The theory of forms is that there is an immortal world where there is the one perfect form or idea of everything and that there is the mortal world where everything is a variation of the perfect forms. In the mortal world, people try to realize these perfect things but can't because their human bodies prevent their soul from fully "remembering". And all of this was related to love in my discussion today and whether love had a perfect form or if it was just an intermediary between the immortal world and the mortal world and about all the types of love. So I got to thinking, "what would be the perfect form of love, if there is one?" and then it was like "duh"... God is the perfect form of love and all love here on earth is but a shadow of His love.
