Random Update (1.28.12)

Last week involved normal activities, like school. I realized that, despite the fact that I'm a "Physics Major", I'm only in one mathy/sciency class. My other classes are a John Milton literature class, a Spanish literature class, and a very broad Western humanities class. Liberal arts college was such a good idea. I recommend it.


What does the bible have to do with physics? I think this idea has potential, but often my ideas with potential seem to pitter out with everything else I'm doing. Also! I've been reading so many books. These books include:
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
Classic Feynman by Richard Feynman (thanks, Susie!)
The Science of Mind  by Earnest Holmes
Paradise Lost by John Milton
Valis Trilogy by Philip K. Dick
The Double by Fyodor Dostoevsky


I strongly recommend the first two, although it must be said that they are quite different types of books. They kinda represent my blend of literature, religion, physics, and spontaneous neuron pathways. Kinda. I like them, ok? Here's a photo!

The Boston Symphony Orchestra.

The guest conductor, Giancarlo Guerrero, is actually the head conductor at the Nashville Symphony Orchestra.

 Celtics game with Jake!

 Encore.

Fin.

Random Update (1.18.12)

Here are some concerns I had before classes started. I wasn't officially registered for my physics class. My Spanish class is full of lots and lots of native speakers. I'm the only freshman in my John Milton class. My Western Cultural Tradition might be less interesting than first semester.

Here are some things I have figured out since yesterday. I registered for my physics class, it took maybe thirty (30) seconds. My Spanish classmates speak quickly, but I understand them, and today I put in my two (2) bits' worth. Also, having friends that I knew beforehand in my class is something I had really missed having first semester; it was probably one of the biggest differences from high school. Just because I'm the only freshman doesn't mean anything, really. The teacher is the best I've had so far, and the material looks fascinating. Western Cult is very comfortable; it's the same group of students from 1st semester, and we all know what's coming and how to prepare for it.

Mr. Jake is coming this weekend! I now take my leave to go pick up tickets to the Celtics game. Horray for discounted tickets to world class athletic events!

Food budget analysis for semester one. Yes, the horizontal axis label is wrong. I'll be back in Boston on Monday (16th), and Boston College starts classes on Tuesday (17th). Yeah!
