I'm currently sitting in the science and engineering library studying for my physics midterm (bleh!), and wishing that it was possible to learn by osmosis. It would be pretty awesome to learn physics (or anything, really) by simply sleeping on top of the textbook, don't you think? :) It would certainly make college a lot easier!
Not much is happening on campus this week since its creeping up to midterms for all of us poor science majors. (The humanities people don't
have midterms until November, lucky ducks!) Well, except for
protests of course. After all, what would Columbia be if we didn't have protesting firmly ensconced as our only major spectator sport? :)
By the way, do you know how many Columbia students does it take to change a lightbulb?
Seventy-six!
One to change the lightbulb, fifty to protest the light bulb's right to
not change, and twenty-five to hold a counter-protest.
The rest of the light bulb jokes... Unfortunately, my physics midterm is steadily creeping closer no matter how much I wish the Special Theory of Relativity would go jump in a well and die... (Although that may be coming up soon what with the super cool
results that came out of the LHC at Cern this week!) But, alas, it hasn't done so yet and time is steadily marching onwards, not warping backwards like I wish it would.
Farewell for now,
Ashley
