Tired and sleepy but I did insist that I would at least blog before going to bed. First off, excuses: 5 problem sets. 'nuff said. Ok, so while this is printing my problem set, I'll blog -- simple enough. I had a few quick points that are on my list of things to blog about. In historical order:
1) Vegan week was a success... but it was definately very nice to eat cheese and meat again. Now that it's been a week of being more omnivorous, I can say with certainty that I do enjoy having the option of eating anything... but that I could definately go back to veganism without that much pain and suffering.
2) Busywork is terrible. I don't understand why professors think busywork is somehow useful to your further eductation. Copying pages from textbooks and lecture notes is not a way to get me to understand the material... it's a way to get me to hate it. I wish they'd put weight on the "inspires interest" section of the evaluation forms... then professors may actually try to do so.
3) On a lighter note: if you are reading this, you REALLY should look at this link. Wirte 50,000+ words in a month. It sounds like so much fun! Now if only I had the time for it... maybe when I get a real job. So that is my recommended link of the week.
4) There was definately a fourth thing but my printing's done and I'm too tired to remember it.
