Ad Mundo Exteriore,
Alors, aujourd'hui, I was horribly productive. I'm nearly finished with my editing requirements for the HIR comp (just one short article and one long article left), and I completed the office skills section. Other than the two edits, I just need to write two GN articles and fulfill the four research hours, and I'll be finished. I doubt I'll be done by December, but I may be finished by the end of January.
I also went to Lamont to do my math problem set. I finished thirteen problems in two hours. All right, I know, thirteen problems aren't a lot, but considering that usually I take around four hours to do a math problem set, that was extremely efficient. I can't get distracted at all in Lamont (there's nothing to be distracted by, unless you sit near the books), and the tables are too uncomfortable for sleeping. I have finally converted. From now on, I'm planning to go there to do any assignments that doesn't involve typing. I really regret not going there before. I would have been so much more efficient these past few weeks if I did. >_<
I also got an A on the Rome of Augustus midterm. Of course, I'm pleased, but I don't understand why I'm doing well in a literature and history course and badly in biology and math. Okay, that's not entirely true, since I do know why, but if I show up with high grades in my humanities classes and low grades in my math and science classes, my mother is going to start questioning my choice of concentration again. Ugh. It's all very well and fine to dabble in history, but science is prettier. So there.
Anyway, going to go shower, read biology textbook, study Korean and go to sleep. -_- What a neverending process this schoolwork is.

Post-script: I watched a rerun of "The Elegant Universe", the Nova special on superstring theory. It was so fabulously done and so excellently written. All right, I admit that I did fall asleep during the very last half-hour, but it was 2:30 in the morning, so give me some leeway here. I would have stayed awake if I wasn't so tired from kendo. But wow, such an awesome show! I'm definitely going to try to catch the next installment of the series (at a more reasonable hour). Go watch it! It's perfectly understandable, even for people who know nothing about physics.
