1) I didn't like calculus the first time around, and now, four years later (read: four years without touching any form of math -- stats doesn't count), I'm trying to speed!learn university level calculus with limited success. When I see something like this "You observe that ∂x/∂α > 0, ∂p/∂α < 0, ∂q/∂α > 0, and |∂p/∂α| > |∂q/∂α|. You have a theory ( Read more... )

SGA 5x20
So I finally caved an watched it during dinner today. It was rather...disappointing, as an episode and especially as a show finale.
But speaking of SGA-related things, Joe Flanigan's appearance on The Jace Hall show was hilariously cute (hee, potty mouth), and aldf;j, when is Joe going to take up another acting role? I miss seeing him on ( Read more... )

A couple of weeks ago, in my pseudo-philosophical-psychology seminar, we were talking about computers and syntax and minds and Turing machines. Well, the rest of the class was. I was, unsurprisingly, drifting off into my own little world ( Read more... )

1. Psych is my new show du jour. It a comedy revolving around a fake psychic detective and the wacky hijinks he gets up to with his partner. For me, it started out by being a spot-the-SGA-actor game (so far, I've got General Hammond, Radek Zelenka, Dave Sheppard, Jeannie Miller, Peter Grodin, Kavanaugh, and Halling/Todd :D), but now I just watch ( Read more... )

1. Wonder Boys will never not be delightful to watch (though their previous performance was a bit better). The dance moves! The slinky slinky hips! Hee! How cute are Sungmin and Taemin? And that boy from 2AM (I think...? 2AM and 2PM...are they two different bands? dear_whimsy??) has awesome facial expressions ( Read more... )

1. Ahaha, I need to find this place on campus.

2. So the other day, I was walking around on campus and I saw a Samoa lying on the ground and I had to stifle my giggles for fear of seeming like a lunatic. What's so funny about a Samoa, you say? READ THIS, OKAY. (and you shall never look at Girl Guide cookies the same way again... BUT SERIOUSLY, ( Read more... )

Thinking about grad school has been driving me up the wall, so I decided to take a nice and long break by bringing out the watercolours. As always, after finishing a painting, I swear off watercolours for another several months. One day, I'll get the hang of this medium...one day!

School and Other Icky Things are still gnawing away at my brains, but at least my GRE is over and done with (and wasn't the Most Awful Thing Ever, thanks to a ~*~miracle~*~ -- I really, really hope the computer didn't make a mistake) and I just handed in my thesis proposal this afternoon. So there's only nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight ( Read more... )
