Anna: How to judge the goodness of a week: the proximity to the weekend.


Am I glad that, though this week just started for me, the weekend is not too far off.


I am always disheartened by tests just taken, and (usually) tests given back. How did school ever become such a chore? It certainly wasn't always so. A few weeks ago, when we were covering proofs of the first and second fundamental theorems of Calculus in Analysis class, my mind brought me back to a couple years before, when I took Calculus in highschool.


At that young impressionable age (er, 15?), you have no idea how much I was in love with Calculus. I was in so much awe the first time I had to compute the area under a segment of a parabola, that this area under this curvy thing could be found exactly. It was such a powerful thought, such a beautiful thought!


I have integrated far too often for me to even think that anymore. But why am I not doing anything that excites me so much? There must be much more profound ideas in the universe than Calculus. I must find new sources of inspiration for learning.


Two more quick notes: I forgot to mention that I saw my 18.100A TA at the formal; that was quite interesting. . .

And the Luffy layout that I've been promising is finished and will go up this weekend. . .
