Wow, Four and a half hours on the stinking calculus take home test. I feel in sort of strange way accomplished. I look at the problems and how rediculous they are, how conceptual they are. How really I don't even understand as far as application or vizualization goes what I am doing, but somehow I do it. Somehow I can go from three very small pieces of information to finding things I never thought possible. I don't know how people do this everyday all day for a living without losing their sanity. I suppose its that feeling when you get done with a problem and you look back on pages of work and know that you've accomplished something that most people couldn't. When you've done something that at one point in time was left to only the most intelligent mathematicians.
One 15 page paper, three finals. Thats all I have left. Then, its off to chicago. This christmas break will be splendid and I know it. Lars is visiting all the way from norway, im going to chicago, im probably going to st. simon's, i'm making money, I'm going to hang out with john and alexa, im going to visit my best friend as she recovers from surgery, im going to celebrate my leaving the teens in style.
Speaking of -in style- Emily got a hair cut and color yesterday. Hoorah. I'd post a picture but really it wouldnt do justice. Same hairstyle pretty much just trimmed up. The color is a lot darker, more towards my natural shade and the blondish highlights have been replaced by red toned ones, though you can still see some blonde come through here and there. I really like it and i've gotten an unbelievable amount of compliments on it thus far. Want to see it? Call me, we will hang out, and you will see it. yay
I've had a fairly good response so fair to my birthday proposal, so I shall go ahead and further my plans. As of right now I am thinking of everyone meeting up and having some good clean eating fun at Chili's (or another restaurant to this effect if someone has a better suggestion) and then making our way over to the movie theater for ~Insert movie of choice here~ and then back to my house for games, cake, and the like. Yes? yes.
Aaaaand...its starbucks time.
