I haven't posted in a while. I guess I've been mired in the lazy doldrums of summer for the past couple weeks. Things have been going slowly all around. I spend most evenings watching tv, movies from Netflix, or reading, none of which makes for a particularly interesting post. I've also used up most of the random other thoughts that had been rolling around my head. I've been considering posting the mini-thesis I wrote up for my Poli-sci class last winter but then I figured that nobody wants to read a ten-page paper on power and resistance written by a physics major with only one poli-sci course under his belt. Plus it would be a bit of a hassle to bring the file into word to make a PDF of it in order to post it, if nobody is gonna read it anyway. I was pretty proud of that paper though, I worked pretty damn hard on it and it got me an A in the class that was seriously kicking my ass up to that point.

My office mate, today, was correcting an exam for one of the classes he is TAing this summer and some of this girl's answers were so fucking dumb, no scratch that, medieval, that we just spent twenty minutes laughing at her. This was a multiple choice test, mind you, and one of the questions was, "Why do the stars appear to rise and set in the night sky?" and she actually chose the answer "Because the stars rotate about the Earth." Apparently this girl time-traveled here from some long-past pre-Copernican era. Yay for college!
