Head is in Heaven, Soles are in Hell




Oh how it's been so long, I'm so sorry I've been gone, I've been busy writing stuff for you!

Well not really. I've been playing hours upon hours of Pokemon. Caught up on Platinum, which I bought my freshman year! and HeartGold. That doesn't mean I haven't thought of stuff to write.


Watch this video. It's pretty creepy but I found it really interesting and it's an inspiration for one of the posts I'll be adding soon.


It's based off of The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain. I picked up the book, which contained many other short stories by Twain, about two weeks before school ended and spent a bulk of my free time reading it. It is very very good however unlike the video I posted, it isn't the actual SATAN, but his nephew with the same name. The ending however is very disappointing and anti-climatic. This is probably due to the fact that Twain passed away before completing any of the versions of The Mysterious Stranger.

Enjoy! and don't wet yourself

Forget Work, it's All Play at the End of the Day

I AM DONE WITH FINALS!!

>

I will never underestimate the urgency of studying right up to the final. Luckily for me, my two easiest finals were on the first day. I knocked out English and New Testament last Tuesday. I know I aced New Testament but I felt really guilty about not knowing the answers to about 3 questions. I really enjoyed that class and I felt I should have known the answers. Dr. Neesley is such a great professor. If I could put as much effort and energy as he does into what I do, then perhaps I could really balance all the things I juggle in my life.

Speaking of New Testament, I rested on Wednesday and prepared for my next 4 finals, which I called the 4 horsemen of Finals. I had a 14 page Theoretical Physics test to study for. No easy picnic. I never really learned line/surface/volume integrals so I spaced out on those questions. Friday I had Linear Algebra, not a bad horseman. I knocked his ass down that horse, but later that day I got jousted by the 10 page horseman of Biophysics. I literally felt like tearing that test. Although I like the notion of differential equations and solving them, I was ill-prepared for that final.

I just finished my Ordinary Differential Equations final. I was expecting the last horseman to be the worst of all, because Dr. Benitez knows how to write a challenging test, and although the test I just took was challenging, I did not feel like crying and puking all over my test. I am a little sleep deprived but I am freeee. I have much I have thought about.

A day of playing nothing but Pokemon should be good detox.



To everyone who still has or is starting finals: Good Luck

I also have a Tumblr... which I update a little more regularly
