(I forgot a title holy crap)
Do you like figuring out things yourself, or having instructions?
Depends on the task. Am I putting something together? I’d like instructions. Am I trying to figure out how something works, like a machine or some software or some interface thingy? Let me figure it out.
You just won $10,000; what do you do with all the money?
Give half to my mom, probably spend (most of) the rest of it on school.
Do you actually have a plan for the future, or do you go with the flow?
If I don’t have a plan, I kinda freak out.
What’s something you don’t like about going to the beach?
Having to put sunscreen on (I don’t like that process for some reason).
Do seagulls really annoy you or do you find them cute?
They’re pretty obnoxious buggers.
What’s something you used to collect when you were younger?
Pokemon cards!
Does the thought of moving out from home scare you? Why or why not?
Hahaha. Um.
Describe your dream Saturday night
Alone. Red Bull. Internet. Loud music. Drawing/writing ideas.
If you could choose your own eye colour, what would it be?
Green eyes are pretty cool. I like blue eyes too, but they’d look weird on me.
When your pet comes in the room, do you say hi or just ignore them?
Each cat gets about a five-minute greeting.
You’re home alone and someone knocks on your door; do you answer it?
No. Go away.
Do you buy lunch at school, or just bring your own?
I brought my own like 99% of the time. I was the only first-grader who had beets for lunch.
Do your school pictures always look bad, or are they pretty good?
I’m gross, so they always looked bad. Also I had mullet fever for like 7 years of my life, so…
Do you often swear, or try to use kinder words?
I swear a LOT around some of my friends, but I try not to around everyone else.
If you had to break any bone in your body, what would it be?
Clavicle? That’s not too severe, is it?
When you’re feeling down, what usually cheers you up?
Not much. I just have to get over it.
Did you ever at some point want an iPhone? Did you get one?
I’m actually 95% sure I’m getting one once I get to Calgary!
How about the iPad? Do you want that also?
I never wanted one and thought they were pretty useless, but then my dad got me one for my birthday two years ago and I use it VERY OFTEN.
If you could work for any famous company, what would it be?
If Roosterteeth ever needs a statistician, I’m there, baby.
When you see homeless people, do you tend to give them money?
Not a lot of homeless in Moscow. In Vancouver I’d give them change if I had any, but I usually never carried coins.
As a kid, what character really scared you?
FREAKING GOSSAMER FROM LOONEY TUNES HOLY CRAPPLES THAT THING SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME.
Would you rather live in a mansion, or a small cozy home?
Location, location, location. Though I like small spaces.
What celebrity are you just dying to meet?
Meh.
Are you more a city person, or would you like to live on a farm?
I love big cities, yo.
Do commercials really annoy you, or do you not care?
I don’t really mind them unless I hear the same one like 10 times in an hour.
What kiddie website do you still like to visit?
None?
Is dinner really the best meal of the day?
Considering that’s the only meal I eat, yes!
Aren’t ladybugs the cutest bugs ever?
Fuzzy caterpillars are superior to all beings.
Do you always look both ways before you cross the street?
Of course!
What Disney movie will you always love? Why is it so great?
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is freaking great, ‘cause of the opening and because Frollo is a fantastic villain.
Have you ever had all your songs deleted from your iPod? How’d it happen?
I don’t think so, no.
Do you prefer having a purse, bag or backpack when at the mall?
I usually end up at the mall after a long walk, so I usually have my backpack.
What are you most proud of accomplishing in your life?
My education.
If you were allowed to get a piercing anywhere, what would you get?
I’ve always wanted a nose ring. Not a huge one, just an itty bitty.
*more noises of frustration*
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND HOUSING IN CALGARY?
Seriously, I’m really, really starting to freak out about this. I might have to actually road trip up there to get an apartment in person, ‘cause this is ridiculous. Almost had to go to the hospital again ‘cause I was in full panic attack mode.
Flrrs
I actually kind of sort of maybe like this one. Better than most of the crap I draw.
Math Man!
Guess whose birthday* it is today?
Hint 1: He was a Swiss mathematician born in 1667
Hint 2: He tutored l’Hopital in mathematics
Hint 3: Most of his family members were mathematicians as well
Give up?
It’s JOHANN BERNOULLI!
So why is he awesome?
Not only did he tutor l’Hopital—which eventually led to l’Hopital publishing the first formal book on calculus**–but he also tutored Euler when Euler was young. In fact, he was the one who convinced Euler’s father that he had the makings of a great mathematician, thus steering him away from a life of a pastor.
For a majority of his life, he was in a highly competitive relationship with his equally mathematically talented brother, Jakob. When his brother died of tuberculosis, Bernoulli’s jealousy actually shifted to his son (another mathematician!) and they had a few good disputes about who came up with what papers and ideas.
One super awesome thing about Bernoulli, though, was that he was one of the few who stayed on Leibniz’ side of the whole calculus dispute with Newton. He showed his support by demonstrating several problems that could be solved using Leibniz’ methods, but not Newton’s. Go Bernoulli!
Yay.
*He was born on July 27th by old style dates; by new style, he was born on August 6th.
**The book was basically all of Bernoulli’s teachings written up formally, which ticked Bernoulli off quite a bit even though l’Hopital mentioned him in the book.
I’M IN A TIZZY, GET ME OUT
Last night I dreamt that I was in love with my sofa.
Let me repeat that.
Last night I dreamt that I was in love with my sofa.
We wanted to make love but then it was like, “No, wait, I don’t have my slip cover on yet.”
And I go, “It’s okay, baby, I have shoes on.”
So we did it because shoes are apparently a form of human-sofa birth control.
But we done fucked up and accidentally made babies after all.
(They were pillows.)
THIS IS WHAT STRESS DOES TO MY BRAIN GODDAMMIT
Skull
Blah Blahson.
Sing to the Tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb:
I am way too stressed to blog

Stressed to blog
I am way too stressed to blog
So have some gifs and pics.
NO NOSE NO
Opus Oils announces the Official Release of the olfactory breakthrough, “Eau Pear Tingle” – A multi-sensory fragrance experience that was designed to be sensed by those with Anosmia.
“Eau Pear Tingle is as much about “sensation” as it is about the unique ability that perfume has to express periods of time. The fragrance starts out with a modern mouthwatering juicy twist that is redolent of green pear, pineapple and a hint of coconut. This is followed by the trigeminal effect of camphor, mint and black pepper that has a delightful side effect; it steadies the breath with a mild cooling sensation complemented by the essence of fir and wood shavings. The perfume dries down to an addictive classic base that is rich in sandalwood and musk. When you wear Eau Pear Tingle you journey from the present into the future and repose in the past. The fact that someone who has anosmia is able to sense this fragrance is truly an innovation in the art of perfumery. It is also cause for the industry to consider anosmia as a source of inspiration for scent creation targeting connoisseurs as well as the 65+ demographic that is regularly snubbed by the industry; whether they have age related smell loss or not…”
I WANT SOME.
ZOOPADOO
I AM BORED!
I’m sorry my posts have been Sucky McSuckerson this month. It has not been a good month, and blogging has really been the last thing on my mind. I miss teaching and I’m scared about grad school. This has also been a really slow year for music, and that’s actually really depressing me.
ALSO, I want to draw but am too stressed out to think.
Bah.
I want to make my blog pretty
UGH I’m sick of my blog header already. And my blog colors. I JUST WANT IT TO BE PRETTY.
I like my current theme and don’t want to change it, so I’m pretty tempted to pay the extra yearly charge for total color customization.
Problem: I have zero extra money right now.
Solution: Just deal with the current color scheme until I get some dollars.
(Sorry I’m boring)
The Style of Elements
WOO, my mom and I just found a copy of the Wonderful Life with the Elements at Bookpeople!
What is this book, you ask? It’s written and illustrated by Japanese Artist Bunpei Yorifuji and features a walk-through of the Periodic Table that’s highly visual and artistic. Yorifuji takes features of elements—such as their state of matter at room temperature, the group they belong to, etc.—and translates them into physical features on little naked dudes. For examples: all the elements in the Noble Gases group have afros, all element-people that are gas at room temperature float like ghosts, and elements that are man-made are drawn as robots.
It’s super freaking awesome. If you want to get a used copy on Amazon, take a look at some of the reviews that freak out because all the elements are naked and have little visible penises. Oh, the horror!
New Header!
New header, fools!
I liked the old one, but I just needed a change. Sometimes that happens.
Not sure if I like this one very much now that I’ve got it up, though. Might change it around in a bit.
Friggety Frack, What’s in the Sack?
SUP, BITCHES?????
It’s Claudia again, coming to you live from blog post #3,000!
Yup, I’m 30% of the way to my goal of 10,000 consecutive blog posts.
Of course, given how much I suck at uploading these on time, you probably won’t see this until post #4,000, but it’s A COOL MILESTONE ANYWAY.
Okay bye.
Ha
Hahaha, best commercial in a while.
*noises of frustration*
Guess who spent the afternoon in the hospital because of ridiculous panic attacks?
ME!
Aren’t you jealous?
What is a cornucopia without any corn?
A If you were an ANIMAL, what would you be?
I have no idea. Probably a giant squid or something. Or one of those ostentatious deep sea fish.
OR A SPONGE.
B BOOKS: What’s on your reading list?
THESE! I’d like to go back and read a book I really enjoyed, though. Like maybe Watership Down or The Ox-Bow Incident.
C COMPULSIVE about anything?
I like keeping records of things. Hell, that’s what this blog is for, right?
Another example: if I’m walking for “fun” and not just around campus or something, I need to be able to keep track of and record the number of steps I take. If my pedometer app malfunctions or something, I get really upset and the walk doesn’t “count.”
D DREAMS – Do you … dream in color? remember your dreams? keep a dream journal?
I definitely dream in color; often it’s a prominent feature of my dreams. I remember a fair amount of my dreams, I think, especially the ones that seem epic-length. The closest I get to keeping a dream journal is occasionally describing my dreams in this blog.
E EATING – what’s your usual snack?
I don’t really snack. I eat once (maybe twice) a day and probably 70% of it is broccoli.
F A few of your FAVORITE things:
Statistics! Math! MENERGY!
G GIGGLES! What (or who) makes you laugh? Do you have a good sense of humor?
I like to think I have a pretty broad sense of humor, though I especially like stupid puns and weird references. Lately, Achievement Hunter has been the group that has consistently made me laugh, ‘cause they’re AWESOME.
H major HOT Button:
Equal rights.
I I am ______________ …
Freaking out about moving in a month and a half or so. Well, not the moving so much as the going back to grad school. I really hope it’s better than last time.
[J IS MISSING! REPEAT: J IS MISSING! CALL A CODE BLUE!]
K Also KNOWN As… Aliases? Screen names? A nom de plume perhaps?
I don’t have any “real-life” nicknames, but my screen names include Eigenblogger (blogging), Nailpit (gaming), LadyLeibniz (other stuff), and AntarcticaFreak (mainly defunct)
L I LOVE …
Statistics. And math. But you need math to do stats, so…
M How do you feel about MEETING people? Do it all the time? Rarely? Parties or 1-on-1?
Ahahaha, I glanced at that and thought it said “how do you feel about MELTING people?” and I was like, “well, if they’re jerk-bombs…”
N What’s the story of your NAME? were you named after anyone? Do you go by a nickname? Any aliases?
My mom and dad had a few names picked out for me, but according to my mom, as soon as she saw me she knew I was a “Claudia.” And no, no nicknames.
O OBSERVANT – What’s around you right now? What do you see?
The usual…Big Compy, the TV, the treadmill, the treadmill desk, a bunch of stuff everywhere ‘cause I’m in the middle of packing, and Annabelle.
P Who are the special PEOPLE in your life?
My mom, my dad, and all my weird old friends, even though most of us don’t ever talk anymore.
Q Any little QUIRKs about yourself:
I think I AM a quirk.
R What do you like to do for RECREATION?
Walk, read, draw, wander the internet, listen to music, obsess.
S Do You SING in the shower? In the car? For your friends?
I don’t sing in the shower, but I sing in the basement when no one’s home upstairs. Every once and awhile I sing in the car. And unless we’re playing Rock Band, I wouldn’t have the guts to sing in front of my friends.
T What’s at the top of your TO DO list?:
Get stuff packed. And get an apartment.
U Any UNUSUAL experiences:
Does skydiving count as unusual? Also that Bloody Mary thing, but that was more freaky. So was that time when Rob and I were at Idler’s Rest and we both got this overwhelming feeling that we were in extreme danger.
V VEGAS, Vienna, Venice, Vladivostok… How far have you traveled? What’s your favorite city?
Furthest traveled: Stockholm, Sweden.
Favorite city: Gotta say Vancouver, sorry. Despite everything, I love it.
W WINTER, Spring, Summer, Fall… What’s your favorite season? What makes it special?
I like summer, but that’s mainly because summer is often too rainy for my taste, fall is a little too cold, and it’s hard to walk in the snow in the winter. Plus, in the summer it’s really nice to go walking at like 10 at night.
X EXes – Things you don’t do anymore (but did, once (would you, again?))
I used to be fairly judgmental of people…I really try not to do that anymore. I definitely wouldn’t want to go back to that.
Y Any secret/deep YEARNINGS?
Nothing that’s secret, haha.
Z ZERO to ZENITH – Where are you in your life? Still growing? On an upward (or downward) curve? Just skating along?
I never want to be “just skating along.” That would wreck me. Gotta be working towards something!
Anyway. I’d like to think I’m on an upward curve, but it sure as hell feels like it’s driving toward the center of the earth right now. BLAH.
Internet NAUGHTINESS!
Has this ever happened to you: you’re on a school computer in high school or something and you go to search for something like “shitake mushrooms” but the results gets blocked because your search terms included the string “shit?”
Or maybe you’re typing an email and include the location of Lightwater in Surrey, England, and later find that your email was blocked because it contained the substring “twat?”
Turns out that such blocking of false positives by spam filters and forums has a name: the Scunthorpe problem—named after a 1996 incident where AOL’s profanity filter blocked residents of Scunthorpe from creating accounts because the word contains the subscript “cunt.”
Here’s the Wiki page if you’re interested in a few more examples; I just never knew that this problem had a specific name.
Boredness
http://thoughtcatalog.com/amanda-berglove/2014/02/62-questions-to-ask-on-the-first-date/
So I found this link to a page listing 62 questions to ask on a first date.
Since I’m probably never going to have another first date ever, I’m going to just answer them here. Just pretend you’re on a first date with me.
Run while you can.
What three U.S. cities would you never, ever move to even for the job offer of your dreams?
I don’t think I’d want to live anywhere in the south, mainly because of the humidity/heat. But I’d have to visit more cities first to determine which ones I’d definitely avoid.
What combination of fixings makes your perfect burrito?
Refried beans, ground beef, sour cream, and cheese. And that’s it.
What is the best gift you’ve ever received?
Rock Band 2 was pretty freaking awesome, both because I was totally not expecting it and because it let the roomies and me keep pretending we were actual rock stars in an actual band and on an actual tour.
What is the most thoughtful gift you’ve ever given?
I don’t know, actually. I can’t currently recall any recent gifts I’ve given.
Who is your role model or has had the biggest influence on your life?
LEIBNIZ. [insert 50 minute rave about Leibniz during which my date slinks away undetected while I ramble]
Do you have any nicknames?
Not that I know of.
What’s one thing you wish you had known as a freshman in college?
What I really wanted to do with my education. I didn’t even want to go to college there at the beginning. HOW QUICKLY THAT CHANGED.
How many siblings do you have?
ZERO!
Do you consider yourself a morning person or a night owl?
I’m such an extreme night owl that I’m practically a morning person. I’ve consistently been going to bed around 9 AM and waking up at 11 AM for the past few weeks. At least, that’s what happens when I actually do sleep.
How long did it take you to start enjoying coffee?
Coffee sucks.
What do your parents do for a living?
Mom: web designer at the U of I disabilities center.
Dad: soils/environmental science professor at the U of I.
What quality is your automatic “no fucking way” when pursuing a potential relationship?
Obviously being cruel (to animals and people), but another one is when they treat wait staff/ servers poorly. That says a lot about a person.
What are two of your bucket list items?
End up in a job I really, really, really love. I know that’s kind of a weird bucket list item, but what the hell.
Visit Leibniz’ archives in Hanover. This could easily be combined with the previous item.
Have you ever kept a New Year’s resolution?
A few. Blogging daily, acquiring a new song daily, all that frivolous stuff.
Were you closer with your mom or your dad growing up?
My mom, definitely. She’s awesome!
What is something you are financially saving up for currently?
Tuition and housing.
Where is your happy space?
In my head. With my own fantasies. You’re not invited.
What is your favorite article of clothing you own?
HARD QUESTION.
I like my lime green baggy pants. I also like my Leibniz shirt and my Hume shirt, though I could buy replacements of those two shirts if necessary.
Do you have any specialty cooking dishes?
Apparently my scrambled eggs are pretty good, but other than that, no.
What is one job you could never do?
Due to physical limitations, I could never do a job that required me to rely on my sense of smell. But as for like personal preferences, I probably could never do a business/finance type job, just ‘cause I think it would make me insane. That’s NOT an area that interests me at all.
When is your birthday?
Groundhog Day.
What is in your fridge right now?
Lots of moldy stuff. LOTS of moldy stuff. And broccoli.
What are you worse at than 90 percent of the population?
Probably anything involving flexibility, like touching toes or anything like that.
Do you believe in aliens?
I believe there is life that exists outside of this planet, yes (and I don’t mean like in the ISS or something).
Do you think it’s the little things or grand gestures that count the most?
Depends on the situation.
Have you ever been out of the country?
Hahaha.
What fact about you surprises people the most?
My age? People always think I’m younger, ‘cause I’m SO SHORT.
What do you do for a living?
Panic.
What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?
Probably my industrial piercing in my right ear. I was under the influence of Aaron and his wiles.
What’s your ideal vacation?
I like cruises, having been on a few before. I think it would be cool to do an around the world cruise (though I think that’d count as a little more than just a vacation, haha).
If you could live in any other U.S. city, which city would you live in?
I’d like to live in New York. I like big cities. Chicago’d be coolio, too.
What was your favorite family vacation growing up?
I don’t remember us ever going too many places. I always liked going down to my grandma’s/grandpa’s house in California ‘cause that house is huge and fun.
Are you a big fan of any major pro sports team?
Bah, sports.
What was your favorite subject in school?
Now or when I was in like high school? I guess I liked drama the best in high school. Or band. Now it’s math/stats.
What are you better at than 90 percent of the population?
BEING SHORT
If you could travel back to any one point in time what would it be?
1676 Europe. I’m sure you can guess why.
What is the proudest moment or greatest achievement of your life so far?
Finishing that damn psych masters, mainly ‘cause everything was working against it. It’s not a degree I’m particularly proud of or anything (everybody does psych), but hey, it got me teaching stats at UI, which has been the best thing EVER.
How did you meet your best friend?
I don’t have a best friend. Unless I count my mom, in which case…
If you could be any animal, what would you be?
I have no idea. Something colorful and obnoxious. A mouthy parrot!
Salty snacks or desserts?
Depends on the time/day.
What is a family tradition your family has?
I don’t know if it’s a tradition as much as a routine, but we have two Christmases. On Christmas Eve, we go to my mom’s house and open presents and all that fun stuff, then on Christmas day we go to my dad’s house and do the same thing.
What do you think is the most important life lesson for someone to learn?
I can’t think of anything that’s not totally cliché. What do you want, it’s 4 AM.
What was your favorite toy growing up?
What counts as growing up?
I remember one Easter my dad gave me this little fuzzy chick toy that cheeped when you touched the bottom of its feet. I fell in love with it and named it Fred. Over the course of the next few years I acquired 26 total, one for each letter of the alphabet.
I can still remember their names, too: Adam, Bill, Candy, David, Ed, Fred, Greg, Herbert, Ivan, Jacob, Kiwi, Lena, Marie, Nelson, Opus, Peachy, Quince, Rachel, Sylvester, Tom, Ursula, Veronica, Walter, Xena, Yvonne, Zachary.
Who was your favorite teacher or professor?
Dr. Abo is freaking awesome. If you’re ever at the U of I and have to take a math class, take it from him if possible.
Alex (Dr. Woo) is pretty amazing, too.
What is the best advice you’ve received?
To not throw off the emperor’s groove.
(Bewaaaaare the grooooove!)
What’s the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to you?
I think I was lucky to be able to finish my first undergrad in 2.5 years. I wouldn’t have been able to do that had I not (unknowingly) taken the right classes in the right semesters. Also, I was lucky to be able to get the second degree in the following spring semester. One of the classes needed was not supposed to be offered in the spring, and yet it was offered that spring for whatever weird reason.
What do you feel people take for granted the most?
Electricity, cars, indoor plumbing, all that modern stuff that makes our world run.
What do you like the most about (insert city of residence)?
I like that it’s a college town. I lived here until I was 21 and I always remember really liking the idea of there being a university here. It helped that my parents worked on campus, haha.
What is the craziest scene or event you have ever witnessed?
Uh…Rock Band with my roommates?
Nonono wait…drunk Rock Band with my roommates.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
People who lack courtesy/common sense when walking in a public place/on a public sidewalk. Treat it like a road—walk to the right! And don’t dawdle like a fartface and don’t walk with a group of friends so that you take up the whole sidewalk and don’t weave for the love of GOD how hard is that?!?
What was the worst job you’ve ever had?
I’ve never had a truly “bad” job. There’s been at least one where I was like “WHY THE HELL am I here doing this nonsense?” but we won’t talk about that.
What was the last book you read?
I think it was Leibniz: An Intellectual Biography, but if we’re talking about fiction, it was The Jungle.
When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be an artist for awhile. Then I wanted to be whatever I needed to be to work in Antarctica (I didn’t know what types of people worked down there).
What was something that recently moved you?
The car
If I say Leibniz’ biography, will you just run out on me? ‘Cause I’m gonna say it. Specifically the last chapter. He did not deserve such injustice!
What skill or talent do you wish you had or were better at?
I wish I could write better. I know my writing is terrible as all hell on my blog, that doesn’t bother me. But when I actually want to write a story, I wish I was better than I am.
If you just won $1 million, what would you do with it?
OH-HO-HO!
First, I’d give my mom half of it. Then I’d pay immediate school expenses, save some for a trip to Hanover, save some for a fun cruise, and probably save the rest.
If you had a superpower what would it be?
Invisibility would be cool. Time manipulation would be more useful, though.
What are you passionate about?
Statistics, math, history of math, blogging, Leibniz, the internet.
What is your favorite movie?
Sunshine!
Are you a cat person, a dog person, both or neither?
Definitely a cat person.
What do you think is your greatest strength?
I’m quite persistent when I have a goal I want to accomplish.
What is the last vegetable you would ever want to be?
What an…odd question.
Probably celery. Celery is the stringy jerk of the vegetable world.
End
OKAY PEOPLES.
As we all know, I’m going to bite the dust someday. And it may be sooner than a lot of your own “bite the dust” day, since I really don’t have much desire to live past 45 given that Alzheimer’s/dementia apparently run in the family, especially for the women.
So even though this will never be considered an official, binding document/will thingy, I want to let you all know what I’d want you to do when I die.
- Most important: take care of my mom if she’s still hangin’ around. Sell all my crap and give the money to her. If you know her in person (maybe one or two of you do?), talk to her and keep her company. Buy her like 40 cats.
- If my body’s in good enough condition, donate the hell out of my organs, then have the rest of me cremated. If it’s not in good enough condition to donate, just throw the lot of it in the cremation fire.
- If y’all want a funeral-type thingy, don’t wear black. Wear obnoxiously loud color. Or have a Rock Band party (still in obnoxious colors) instead.
- If y’all want a funeral-type thingy, please play this song (it’s Coldplay’s O (Fly On); I’m assuming that the YouTube vid will be taken down sometime before I die, haha).
- Somehow, get a portion of my ashes to Hanover and scatter them around the grounds of Leibniz’ archives. This is actually really important to me. Hell, ship ‘em to some German dude over there and have him do it if that’s the only way it can be done.
I’ll add more if I think of anything, but I don’t think there’s anything more. And I know it’s kinda morbid, but I wanted to type it out somewhere.
DOdodododo
Leibniz is love. Leibniz is life.
In completely unrelated news, I hate myself and want to jump into the ocean.
Sleepwriting?
Apparently, my body’s new way of coping with stress is to partially wake up in the middle of the night and write either really nonsensical poems or stupid little notes that are actually parts of my dreams.
Either that or I’m writing stuff during the day that I’m totally blocking out. But I’m pretty sure I’m doing it almost in a sleepwalking (sleepwriting?) fashion.
I think that’s how the motorboat boobs and this weird poem both originated.
Fake Schedules are Just as Fun
Hello friends!
To distract myself from the craptastic summer this is becoming, I made myself a “fake” schedule for next semester. This is what I’d be taking if I were to stay at UI in the fall:
MWF
HIST 404: History of Science – 9:30 – 10:20
MATH 315: Topics in Pure Mathematics – 10:30 – 11:20
PHYS 103: General Astronomy – 11:30 – 12:20
MATH 388: History of Mathematics – 1:30 – 2:20
STAT 565: Computer Intensive Statistics – 2:30 – 3:20
TR
MUSA 321: Concert Band – 4:30 – 5:20
T
PHYS 104: General Astronomy Lab – 5:30 – 7:20 (T)
Yes, I would choose History of Mathematics over Intro to Analysis I, which is required for the “general” math degree option but conflicts with History of Math. I WANT TO TAKE THAT CLASS SO FREAKING BADLY.
Also, I’d take Astronomy because I would like to take that class. It doesn’t do anything for any degrees I would (likely) be trying to pursue.
UGH
IhatemylifeIhatemylifeIhatemylifeIhatemylife the end.
