Couple things:
1) No matter how many times you calculate the crossover density, it always seems too large.
and
2) I can only work on my senior project for too long before my computer starts slowing down. (But I am almost done! Yay!)

I learned that mmm... a shopping spree is fun... but only if you don't feel guilty about the purchases afterward.

That oversleeping the last chem lecture before the exam is a really, REALLY bad thing. Apparently I've also learned the mystical art of turning off my alarm, which is 4 feet from my bed, without turning over my covers. While asleep.

I learned that even though the truth sounds really really awful... reality doesn't have to be quite so bad. :)

Oh I am a true master of being able to do this. I have like 4 - 5 alarm sets in my room.

Being a would-be engineer, I'm sorely tempted to design a Rube Goldberg machine to deliver cold water to my face when the alarm clock springs in to action.

Hey if you can think up something like this, I'd buy it.

My friend use to have an alarm clock that use to do Beethoven every morning...

Most Rube Goldberg machines aren't really built for selling, seeing as you make them out of scrap material (anything) from your room. I'll post some pics if I ever get it done, but that won't be until I complete my katamari ball project.

What's a katamari ball? That sounds like some sort of medieval-type weapon. @_@

Someone at our high school made a joke that should he not get in to a decent college, rather than join the one nearby which accepts basically anyone, to join clown school.

And then he got in to PSU. nerts.

I'd personally love to take some lessons from a professional. There's only so much you can do before you need your bad habits pointed out by someone else to go forward.

I didn't learn this today, but you can go to a decent college and participate in a real circus. One of my friends was a trapeze artist in Florida State's circus.

I haven't learned anything exciting today. But the weather's nice, so I'm going to go for a nice long run/stroll (once I learn how my knee feels running, I'll decide which).
