Schizophrenic Weather

Yeah, I heard someone say that (the title) on my way back from German and I liked it so I used it.

I saw Nick Trombley today. It was weird. I had eaten lunch with Alison, Amanda, and Bob and we were putting our trays in the rack when someone said "hi" or something like that to me. I looked to my left and there was Nick with very short hair... I hardly recognized him. It was really cool seeing him.

So my day was good so far. The physics lecture was cool and entertaining. The professor did a lot of demonstrations, plus I got both in-class questions right (the answers were "v=0, a≠0" and "yes"). He took out a bucket of liquid nitrogen and dumped some of it on the table repeatedly. That was really cool... and also very cold (only 70ish K or 70 degrees above absolute zero). He also (successfully) did the thing where you set a table and then pull a tablecloth out from underneath everything, demonstrated a car accident with mini models and the one's head flew off, and dropped a piece of paper and a golfball together in a vacuum so we could see them fall at the same rate. The lecture has turned out to be consistantly interesting. On the way to German, I saw Chris and Sarah from my German class last semester. German was a little weird today... we learned some German pick-up lines. For example: "Sie haben die gleiche Augenfarbe wie die Ledersitze meines Ferrari". Then there was my fun lunch and seeing Nick. Great Books discussion was interesting, but I'll get into that later. After that, I went to the 9th floor of SQ and talked to the advisor there about my options with Physics 141 and I have officially changed it to pass/fail. Then when I got back to my room, I had a breakthrough on my calc and so that was cool. And now I'm doing a blog, Stargate will be on soon, and there is Cru tonight... what could be a better day?

The weather is quite weird...and cool. First there was a ton of snow, but then it rained for a few days in a row. Yesterday there was intense fog and that was awesome. It reminded me of London... even though I've never been to London, but in stories you always here about the fog. Today is was downpoaring the whole day until about 5pm and then it turned to snow. Hmm.

So Great Books. They were discussing how many religions were influenced by Plato and Judaism came up as one that came before Plato. So then one guy started saying that the god of the Jews was more of a spiritual force and was imperfect because of his wrath, and he used the book of Job as proof of this. I was like pishaw.

Someone just walked down the hall singing a Backstreet Boys song.
