so who needs a girlfriend when all day you can just think about what youre going to put on your blog?
goddamn, im pathetic.
ok school:
calculus. what a hassle. ive taken it before, and i know how to do it, but i have to do it again, and im not doing extra-specially well in it... is this cuz i dont care? prolly.
philosophy of science. ya know all this shit is pissing me off. i dont think the teacher actually has a tenative schedule. some one brought up global warming, so we talked about that for an hour. and for the last two days, its been our prof and this other math prof (who i guess is just analyzing our prof's work, since i think this is his first time teaching this. anyway. the last two days, its just been these two going back and forth in discussion/debate. it gets to the point where we should get out of class, but they keep talking, everyone with bags in hand, pearched in our seats, ready to sprint to the door, but no one wants to make the first move and be rude... so we stick around.. waiting......i think im more of a middleman, so this is why this subject doesnt really appeal to me that much.
organic chemistry. first off, our teacher started the day off with a story. he lives in seattle near I-5 in apartment buildings. i guess the part where hes at something-terrace, theres a 2 story drop from the road down to the freeway. so he sez that hes leaving his underground parking lot, and this other guy tries to also before the gate comes down. but he doesnt make it, and the gate totally busts up this guys windshield. so the guy gets out of that, and cant see a damn thing, so he runs into my teacher, and is pushing him off the road and nearly onto the freeway two stories down!!! so my teachers car is a total accordian now, and cant get out the drivers side, so he has to go across to the passenger side, and in doing so he looks down to see that hes hanging over the freeway and has to crawl over his car to get back on the ground. so i dont know what came of it, but he didnt seem like he wanted to get any retribution from the guy (manuel ;) ... just givin ya shit). so yeah, he continued on with the lecture. i think im starting to like chemistry, go figure. maybe its cuz ive taken it for what? 3 years? 4 including high school, if that really counts. and im not burned out yet. i dont see myself continuing in this field, but its kinda cool how i can start to know what ingredients in shit is. oh, and also i really like the teacher cuz he relates to the world around us, instead of just writing a buncha "O's" and "C's" on the board. like he told us today that formic acid comes from the greek(? latin?) word ant, because this is the toxin fire ants give off. and it only stings when it gets under the skin, because even coca-cola is more acidic that this shit, and if you put this intravenously into you, damn, you'd be hurting. another thing was he told us what our liver does to alcohol. it takes the ethanol, and turns it into acetic acid (vinegar) and acid aldehyde... methinks it would be a lot more interesting if you actually knew what those looked like though, and were working with them all the time. anyway, i like it, but i cant see myself as a pharmacist or anything. thats seems practical, but very boring.
another thing i noticed is that old people (well, at least my parents) arent intuitive at all. ive been away for how long? and yesterday they asked me to check on what time this one show comes on. so i push the "right" button on the remote, and the time shows up, with the show. they, to say the least, were totally amazed. they wanted to know how i figured out how to do that. i was like, um, well, i looked at the remote, and i thought, hmmm.. maybe if i push right. it will show me whats on next.. let me tell you.. blew their fucking minds. i dont get it. if they arent shown how to do something, theyre totally lost. is this just another marvel where kids are used to "technology" so they can figure out simple things like finding whats on next, or do we just regress when we get older and think, to a point, that theres nothing more to learn, and what we already know will help us do anything?
