Almost There

Today was funny... kind of. In physics, the lecturer almost got hit in the head by a rocket-propelled empty 2-liter bottle of coke. That was the funniest part of the day. First, he pressurized the bottle and let it go and it only went a few feet up. But then he put "about 20 cc's" of water in it, pressurized it, and let it go and it flew up quickly, hit the ceiling, and came flying back down at his head. If nothing else, at least his demonstrations are funny and interesting.

Reading Job for Great Books is not fun. Well, I didn't actually read it, but listening to the lecture and the discussion is not fun. There is this kid in my discussion who is set on the fact that God is not perfect, not omniscient, and not omnipotent. When my discussion section was discussing the meaning of the word "curse", as in "Job did not curse God", my GSI said something weird: "It's not "curse" meaning to swear, like saying 'damn you, God' or 'Go to hell, God', but it's (blah blah blah)." I thought the telling God to go to hell was, um, interesting.

You know that you're seriously procrastinating when you start clicking on the advertisements (or playing the games in the ads). You know you're procrastinating when you check your email for the 5th time in an hour and then you start to clean it out and organize it. You know you're procrastinating when you start looking at prices for the birthday present of someone whose birthday is months away. You know you're procrastinating when, every other minute, you check AIM, yahoo, and MSN messenger for people to talk to. You know that you're procrastinating when you read people's away messages for the 10th time when you know they haven't changed. You know that you're procrastinating when you're writing about ways to procrastinate in your blog. And yes, I have done all of these this evening.

On my calc midterm, I got full credit on 3 out of the 9 problems. I was (and still am) very proud of my 3 full-credits. The one was worth 18 points, another was worth 16, and the last was 6 points. I got over half of my total points in those three problems (one-third of the test).

...And then there's my crazy delusions of grandeur, but we won't go into that.

Spring break starts in 60 hours!

You know you're trying to pretend like your not procrastinating when you check other peoples blogs and your email while your "doing your homework". Somehow having my homework open even though I'm not doing it makes me feel as though I'm accomplishing something. Guess what Sarah! I got the highest grade on our last Pre Calc test. That's right. I think I'm gonna try to beat ryan and get the pre calc award.

hahaha... I do the homework thing here too but it's in front of the TV instead of in front of the computer...

Good job with pre-calc! I'm rooting for you!

A fellow procrastinator! Yes, I believe I have done all of those besides the one about posting procrastination in my blog. Those advertisement games can be fun sometimes. I actually found one that was mildly difficult.
