So Mara had to write a ten page research paper for her intro zoology class. A lab class no less. The requirements for the paper were more stringent than any of the papers I had to write as an english minor my first time through school! Very odd. Specifically for a lab class.

So I was thinking that this was like, for me, having to...

The calculus final was two and a half hours of fun. And by fun, I mean Hell. At least I got reasonable answers for all of the problems and didn't send any of the solutions into the complex plane by accident--unlike the midterm. Yay.

But, no school for three month=more time on SG. And more time gaming, Astro--don't have a spaz.

I love this site!

Memorial Day=studying for calculus final. Yeah.

Oh, well, it'll all be over soon enough. Then sleep. Sleep, I hear, is good.

Right, something in a classical vein then.


From the depths of lofty, etheric Heavena, two winsome angels descend unto a barren beachhead, the blackened waves crashing nie on invisibly in the still, cool night.

Silence reigns, save for the waves, for a moment as the two shrouded figures gaze into the earthly night.

Hail thee, fair Gethorial, one lovely beast says to the other with...

Right. I've got another nasty cold and we start finals in two days. Bleh. So, therefore, it's time for a stupid joke from Ian Stewart:

"Ivan and Pyotr were watching the installation of the Omsk telephone exchange. "These modern gadgets," sighed Pyotr. "I can never understand how they work."

"But it is easy," replied Ivan. "It is like a very long dachshund. You twist his...

Okay...pay attention. Matrix 2 KICKS ASS! OH HELL YEAH!

*takes deep, calming breath*

*takes seven more*

And, inspired therein, I will now quote from one of my fav's:

"For a warrior it is essential to keep the spirit of combat in mind twenty-four hours a day, whether walking, standing still, sitting down, or reclining, never forgetting.

Japanese custom is different from that of other countries...

Ah, and now...an excerpt by moi, from quite some time ago.

Ahem....

The distant, metallic, rainbow-hued towers of Heaven rocked with bells of mourning, with wails of pain and loss. The Choirs raised their voices in anguish and lament, the faceless souls of the sinless dead dropped to their knees and covered half-remembered ears as the banshee wail of Paradise sliced though the sweet, scented...

He, he.

This will probably hurt.

You see, in dealing with Total Energy in a system, you have, among others, kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. Total energy is conserved. In other words, if you start at ground level and go up, your gravitational potential energy is zero and your kinetic energy is max. When you reach your max altitude, your grav potential energy is...

Played a good game of Exalted last night. Ah, my character...the gothy, intelligent bad-ass. When he doesn't get Crippled on the first melee exchange, that is.

Astrokreep23--our GM--and I had a rather silly psuedo argument during play. You see, our characters, facing an impending snow storm and fleeing Imperial troops, sought shelter in a cave. A cave inhabited by a mama bear and her two...

Right, Stacie's set is hot.

Ahem, anyway.

I'm tired. Finals are a short two and a-half weeks away and I have two "midterms" the week finals begin. *Sigh* I had a second-order differential equation on a quiz today and blew it--tried integrating multiple variables needlessly instead of making certain substitutions first. Stooooopid!

Oh well. Time for another quote from Ian Stewart--that always makes me happy!...
