- A supernova occurred during the summer of 1054 AD, which was visible for 23 days, just over the horizon. The only known records of it are Chinese records, Mimbres pottery, and Anasazi cave paintings.
- "Peace on Earth and Good Will to Men" is not an accurate translation of the Bible. It could read "peace on earth to men of good will." Interesting, yes?
- Math Modeling is basically differential equations for stupid people (or, alternatively, people who get intimidated by things like 'calculus' and 'differential equations').
- Study your economics.
- Cormac McCarthy is really dark. You should read him. I suggest Blood Meridian, The Sunset Limited, and The Road.
Six Life Lessons:
- Don't get involved with new romantic partners without officially calling it off with your old romantic partners. It'll save you a lot of stress.
- Talk about breakups with your current romantic partner before you actually break up with them. The things that could be an issue for you in the relationship could be talked out in that conversation.
- Study during the afternoons so you can goof off in the evenings. If you goof off in the afternoons and study in the evenings, it will probably screw with your sleep cycle, as evidenced by my roommate, who spent a total of two nights in our room between Thanksgiving and Finals because she crashed with friends in a study room.
- Talk things out with your roommate. If they're being an ass, bring it up with them. If they're consistently doing stuff with their romantic partner in your room and you're not okay with that, bring it up with them. If they keep doing it, ask to be moved.
- Don't assume that everything is your fault. Your lack of turning in an assignment is definitely your fault. If you don't see your friends around campus, it might be because you study better alone or because you do most of your studying in the local coffee shop.
- Don't overdose on coffee. In other words, caffeine after 3:00 is not a good idea if you have an 8:00 exam.
