well, crap
Note to self: don't embed stuff from Deepest Sender.
The bulk of my text for that post was lost, because it came after the embed code from Youtube, which apparently ate it all. I am a bit peeved about that, since it was some cool stuff. May try to recreate it later.
Summary: Contact by Carl Sagan is a great book, better, as one would suppose, than the movie. Math is magic.
In other news, Latin class continues to go pretty well. But I find that when I have the translation down and felt it was pretty easy, the class as a whole seems to be fumbling around blindly without a grammar book. This means that we spent a lot of time today on sentence diagramming, which is fine - it's how one learns. I just figured it was best done before class. I'm going to continue to just sit in the back and chuckle over Cicero, and posting this pretty much guarantees that next time I get called on I will have no idea what I'm doing. :P
Thank goodness for the Perseus Project, though. I haven't had to buy a dictionary or a grammar yet, and using them as searchable databases instead of paper pages is actually quite a lot easier.
