Zan rants and whines
So this week (and most of the one before it), sucked totally and completely.
There may have been mini-meltdowns, crises of what-am-I-doing-with-my-life?, parental units berating me about finding an internship for the summer (ok, this one is my own fault - I have one offer and another that I'd be guarenteed to get if I submit everything, I just don't like the one I have an offer from and haven't told my parents about the second because they've been pushing so much I oh so maturely can't bring myself to admit its existence and give up the "but McDonald's pays pretty well on the opening/closing shifts!"), and the contemplation of throwing myself off the top of the engineering building (I'm certain they would be able to calculate exactly how much force I exerted on the sidewalk with my landing and analyze whether I'd crack the concrete, er, analyze whether the force of my impact would exceed the allowable stress and determine the plane of failure).
While we're on the topic of falling objects, ever heard the myth that if you drop small change off of a very tall building, you'll kill someone? Never have I ever seen it debunked with so much cultural insensitivity and so little actual physics as here. Go, read, laugh at the stupidity of others. It always cheers me up.
Anyway, Doppleganger = amazing. That is all.
