sniffnoyThe title quote is from Dr. DeWitt.
Also, from Mr. Dr. Crane:
"'It' is like crack. Once you start using it, you just can't stop. So don't do crack, and don't use the word 'it'."
Apparently I have an 8-page paper on the nervous system due Monday for PCS. There's no way that's getting handed in on time.
Did I tell you all about the periodic table?
I must have.
After all, I've told everyone about it at least twice or so, so surely I must have posted it on my LJ.
Well, I'm not going to check, because even if I did, as I've said, I've told everyone multiple times, so now I'm telling you again.
In room 235 there's a very recent periodic table... with Darmstadtium on it! It hasn't been hung up yet, it's just lying there on the desk.
As you may know, Mr. Kropinack retired after last year. As anyone who was at the Academy last year or this *definitely* knows the centralized system used to control many of the clocks stopped at 1:45 one day and never started again (although some of the clocks were off from the 1:45). Well, Kropinack had a whole bunch of his own clocks in his room, keeping world time. So the rest of the physics department has now taken these; go to Mr. Sayres's or Dr. Galitskiy's (sp?) room and you'll see 2 clocks: 1 stopped, labeled "school time"; and 1 running, labeled "physics department time".
That's really all I have to say. I seem to be catching up on my work - excepting, mind you, that 8 page paper, and a few pieces of late work.
I'm up to PCS panel #28, for those of you who care.
Oh yeah, MIT had a big information session presentation thingy at the academy tonight, which is why I'm going to finish my calculus homework tomorrow, having arrived back pretty late (recall that my parents enforce a bedtime on me, and don't let me get my proper amount of sleep-deprivation (actually we only arrived back around 9:15, but it's only 3 more problems...)). It looked great, but that's not exactly unexpected, I mean, it's MIT.
Er... OK, that really is all.
Except for this.

yup. *it*.
i went to the MIT thing that was during early lunch yesterday. (There were two presentations, the latter of which you evidently attended).
You should fight your inflictuary bedtime. After all, you don't need /sleep/... You've got PCS! and a paper due monday.
vork hard, herry, vork hard.

PS. and i do wonder why Dr. D said that butt quote.... He's said some interesting things though. As has Dr. Neddy. Niedosik, that is. Niedosik said last year about the galapagos finches, "So, these finches.... if you've seen them, they're these little tiny birds... they can't fly well, much less fly far.... so they must've gotten blown to another island.... some had bigger nuts.... So they evolved different beaks to crack their nuts..."
So I copied down "finches: some had bigger nuts" in my notebook. Cracks me up every time i see it.
cheers, harry, cheers. go be a multiple-choice tomato.
