"Dense" is a reasonable adjective, I swear!
I was just about to do some Calculus III when I had the sudden, happy realization that there were so many other, unproductive activities I could indulge in instead, such as updating my blog (what would I do without it?).
All goes spiffingly in Tallyland. The past week has been extremely dense- yes, I now use words such as "density," "magnitude" and "force" to describe my day, as though my social adeptness weren't already severely endangered. Anyway, the classes are great. In fact, I already had an argument (with myself) over a contradiction in two of my textbooks. My Communication Sciences and Disorders textbook claims that language developed specifically to fulfill the human need for communication, but my Normal Language Development textbook explicitly states that there are two very distinctive camps in the scientific world in regards to this matter. In fact, Noam Chomsky (big-shot linguist) is a formalist in this view; he states, "...language is not intrinsically a system of communication." The fact that I am extremely perturbed by this contradiction and have spent the past 24 hours explaining it to disinterested friends, roommates and family expresses that I am truly at home in this field. Now if I can only stop torturing myself by taking excruciatingly difficult, irrelevant classes so I can concentrate on my major...
Ok. I just decided I don't have anything of use to say. Back to vectors.
