Cognitive Dissonance

There was more humor in physics today. Professor Clarke was demonstrating something with a toy called the "Astro Blaster", which is basically four balls on a stick. You drop it with the biggest ball down and it launches the top ball. Well, he dropped it and the top ball went flying at the ceiling, hit the white pull-down projection screen thing, went behind it, and then reappeared as it fell into the waste basket. It was humorously impressive. Also, I was sitting in a 5-seat row and there were two guys to my left and one to my right. About 35 minutes into the lecture I happened to glance at them and they were all sleeping.

I had one exam and one oral test today. I don't know how they went... hopefully o.k.

Relient K is so overrated. Seriously.

It's kind of funny that a postage stamp costs more than a blue book.

Whenever I have a ton of homework, I wish and wish that I could just relax. But now that I have basically nothing to do, I don't like it. I wouldn't mind relaxing at home, but it feels pointless to be at college and to not be doing anything.

I like to know "how", but I like to know "why" more. I want to know people's motives. I want to know what makes people tick. I don't like to come right out and ask what I'm wondering... I like to work around it. Someday soon I'm going to take a step back from my life and figure out who I am. Someone whom I trust once told me to stop and figure myself out, but I never really did, although I have been playing with the subject ever since that person suggested it. What defines me? Who am I really? What are my motives for doing the things I do and being the way I am? Why do I like the things I like? Is it really me who likes those things or do I "like" them because I set some weird goal for myself long ago that I never really knew I made but which I could never let go of?

Anyways...

Today is Vanessa's birthday! ...And only 13 hours until spring break!
