Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages. . .

Geek media expo is this weekend. I am very excited (not because I am a geek, but because there are places for these kind of people.) I am attending (to assure that all those who are geeks stay there, and do not try to assimilate themselves into the surrounding culture) with some friends on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Also, Spanish is scheduled to let out early tomorrow, which is always good news. Recently, I have been feeling that the subjects covered in my classes have been previously covered in past institutions. (Apparently, my high school did better than I had thought.) And because of this, I have been increasingly unoccupied in each class. These classes are required, though, so I have to attend. (That is, as long as I wish to maintain a passing grade.)


And to my family (who are the only ones who truly follow these posts), I love you all very much.


Goodbye for now.

"For each of these, you will always calculate a degree of freedom"

I'm currently in my Biology lab. We brought our computers in today so we could calculate mean, standard deviation, density, etc. It's easy and I feel like I could do better things with my time, but it doesn't really matter, you aren't working for personal gain, just for a grade. An arbitrary number that accentuates an individuals ability to consume data and spit it out with a high degree of accuracy.


However, I did get an A on my Biology exam, which I am quite proud of, seeing that the rest of the class apparently bombed. I only extrapolate this because our professor offered "amnesty" and gave a lecture on the how college exams are different than "exams you may have taken before." I guess I am well versed in data digestion.

Also, I've been very busy lately, hence the lack of posts.

Well, perhaps I will write more later. I have to complete a draft of a paper for my Great Works class, finish my Spanish homework, then complete an outline for a Biology paper.

Appendum: I got a B on my Chemistry Exam! I was expecting a D or lower, so I am very happy. :D

Ciao!
