Clone Wars and Dead French Mathematicians

Greetings, humans. I actually have been having a life lately (a temporary condition, I'm sure) but anyway that is my excuse for not posting. Yesterday I went to see the third Star Wars movie. It was actually better than I was expecting...in fact, I dare say that it was almost good. Well, some of it anyway. The point is that if you have not yet seen it, you are lamer and uncooler than I am. So go see it. It's just wrong if I'm cooler than someone...Seriously, I am really geeky. I was just at my friend's birthday party, and a grad student let us play with liquid nitrogen in the astronomy "reading room." So we froze stuff. And it was quite fun. I'm wondering which of the various items we froze will remelt. I'll find out when I go to the physics building tomorrow to work on my research project.

The other major event in my life besides Star Wars was a physics midterm. I actually think I did well, but I made some dumb mistakes. Did you know that cosine is different than sine, which is, incidentally, different than 0? Apparantly I don't. But that is okay, I should still be alright. The "Dead French Mathematicians" in the title of my post refers to the material on the test (FOURIER series, FOURIER integral transforms, LAPLACE transforms, CAUCHY-RIEMANN theorem, and LEGENDRE polynomials). Actually, some of them aren't French I think, but close enough. So that sucked, but I survived. Only two more tests left this quarter, and I can go home and play with rocks. Anyway, I will stop talking now, because I've probably bored all of you to tears by now.
