You know, I have this huge Physics exam tomorrow morning. I've yet to study. Hmm, *twiddles thumbs* so...
A few minutes ago I was headed downstairs--taking them two at a time, as usual--to toss my trash in the dumpster (I'm good people like that). Moments later, the outside door slamming behind me, I realized that it was definitely not t-shirt weather. Also, that short walk becomes a lot longer when you're skin's begging for a little heat. But no matter, my attention was promptly stolen with an, "Ooooh, stars.." seeping from my mouth.
On the topic of random stories, earlier today I passed by the mail room to check if we'd gotten anything. And we did in fact get something. Actually, I got something. A magazine titled US Weekly. Addressed to me and everything. Which raises the question (since never in my life would I get a subscription to such a "great" piece of literature), "..who payed money for this??"
I was utterly confused.
So yeah, random rants aside, I actually had something useful* to say. In the afternoon I had a meeting with my partner for the Hausdorff dimension presentation (the one we're doing for honors credit). The two of us have a pretty good understanding of things--it took so long to take it all in but its finally paying off--and therefore we decided to sit down and start preparing. Afterwards we had a sheet full of lots of writing, a little over half of it solely equations. From here I volunteered to type it up and was introduced to an interesting, um, program(?) called LaTeX (wiki it). The best way to describe it would be a word processor like Word that doesn't have formatting. Instead you type something like tags which do this. Really, the biggest reason it's used is for scientific writing (especially math), since using word processors for that is just a pain.
And..hmmm. Nothing else for today. I'm gonna go get started on that studying. Do wish me luck, I wouldn't mind getting above a fifty (out of one hundred) on my test.
*If anything you at least got an easy way to cheat at Minesweeper.
