I have learned virtually nothing this semester and I'm not sure why. I think part of it is because all three of my main classes revolve around a PowerPoint presentation as the primary means of "teaching" - a method which hasn't helped me at all. But, as the title suggests, at least the uselessness of this class gives me some time to sit down and post.
So, I guess I'll move on to the most interesting point of the day. For those who don't know, I go to Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ (Shadow, I'll get into more detail to answer your questions in a bit). The school is directly on the Hudson River and as such, has a fantastic view of New York City. Now, I didn't see this in person but a friend of mine sent me a link to a news article this morning about a whale in the Hudson. Evidently, a humpback whale found its way into the river which must have been quite the sight. I'm assuming it's long gone because it was moving when it was spotted but it's still a pretty interesting event.
Other than that, I'm just glad that I don't have class tomorrow. Even though I only have one class on Fridays, it's at 9 AM and I'll enjoy being able to sleep a little more. Plus, three-day weekends are always nice ^_^ To kick off this short break, a few friends and I are going to Medieval Times tonight. We found some half price admission (with purchase of a full price ticket) tickets in Burger King so all four of us are getting in for half price. That's pretty much the entire reason we're going but it should be fun all the same.
So, I just looked up at the board and noticed a triple integral... I'm really hoping that's just there for demonstration purposes and we are in fact learning the shortcut. I highly doubt that though.
Anyway, I guess that's about it for my day. Time for comments.
Molly:
Hehe, well I'm glad my lack of activity serves a purpose for someone. And yeah, I'd definitely say you keep up to date just fine, though I feel like I've missed a bunch of stuff over time so I'll likely be reading through your posts as well :)
Crystia:
It was the opposite for me. Granted, I had become a bit less active even when myO was still up and running in full but I drifted off even more when Worlds was released. That's not to say that I have anything against this system - I actually do like it. I think it's mainly school that's been getting in the way for me. It's good to be somewhat back though.

I went and read the entire TwoFacedLullaby story which was pretty interesting, though it did end a bit disappointingly. As for WoW, my Human Paladin is just about to 79 and the Human DK on the same server was 60 last time I played him. My only other two characters are a level 20 Blood Elf priest and another newly created Blood Elf DK on the same server so I could see the story from the Horde side. And of course I went to New York - after all, it was just a 5 minute Path ride away ^_^ There were a bunch of midnights in the city but this Best Buy was one of the official ones. I believe there were three others in the US and two in other countries.
Shadow:
It's great to see you again. It really has been a while. I hope you're doing well too =) And of course I'll answer your questions! I am indeed in college and I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Unless something goes horribly wrong, I should be finishing my sophomore year this month (with finals stretching into May). It's hard, especially when you're not really learning what you need to, but it will be worth it in the end.
