Ah...I took those in High School, and since they are not required for my degree, I see no need to take them. Since they are really generalized, I am perfectly capable of exceeding what they are capable of teaching me in said classes, if I have not already. I'm a sort of history buff, if only to augment my sense of humor. I'm just a bit fuzzy on the dates, especially if it's Far Eastern history. Found out I was wrong about the invention of gunpowder's approximate era in China.

I don't think I'll ever figure that out. Who'd want to?

This seems a bit more likely. Might as well lump my own shortcomings on the unsuspecting student. Crash every good quantum wavefront in them.


Also found out that my Antropology teacher is willing to take students on trips with her to her various archaeological expeditions. While not cheap trips in and of themselves, I'm sure, I'll bet anything I'll leave a lasting-enough impression to be counted among those invited.

In other news:
I'm considering reading Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything followed by Simon Singh's Big Bang, and others in a list I recieved from one of the intelligent people I occasionally converse with at Starbucks. This list has the supposed best books to read to understand/learn about the universe and history, with instructions that the books must be read in the order presented. Not a very long list...but I'm assuming, based on my average reading speed, that it'll take about five years and $300 to read the whole thing, and that's if I don't stop and read something else from time to time.
I think I'd like to start on the science strain first, since I'm already partially familiar with every subject presented, with a few additions of my own that the author of the list (an accomplished particle physicist, and friend of the guy who presented it to me) probably hadn't read yet.
I'll post the revised list in a few days.

How do you do, everybody? And I find myself walking amidst the forests of the Teacup Cafe once more! And not just any Teacup Cafe, THE Teacup Cafe, The 37th Generation! Um, er, what? Tessar is apparently in our posts editing r wurdzzzzz! I always think of LOL-Cats when I think of the "in your stuff doing things" line Tessar has in his custom text. Although the LOL-Cats is so totally overplayed these days. Still cute, but the LOL-Cat fad lost much of its humor through repetition. Kinda like the word "epic"! Epic this, and epic that, and epic fail, and epic win, and "hey, that's EPIC!" and 4tw (Ftw).

I still haven't figured out what FTW means, though I think it might be 'for the world' or something.

I'm going out for lunch with my cousin today. I totally forgot her birthday when I was in the States (i.e. forgot to buy her a present), so I figured I'd better buy her lunch >_<
Tonight I'm going to meet the buy I'll tutor! I'm so excited! I've got a dozen teaching plans in my head already (though I can't decide on which one to use till I get to meet the boy and figure out what his exact problem is)

"And we're back on M.O.O.T. 102,2 with the Moots playing this tune for TB..."

Morning oh dreadful dawn, spread your pale dim light
Reign for your last time over lands once so bright
But your energy shall be weak, and soon to die
So die in pain my dear, expire, goodbye...
Ages has past since your eyes enlightened the eath (grammar!! )
from a source of light that gave all godness birth
But your energy is weak and soon to die
The ground is sour from the evil that here lie (gr.!)

Chorus:
I have come to challenge your ways
Light's bane - The Last of your days
Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves
Allow me to erase your feeble race

Morning, so feeble dawn, spread no pale dim light
You've been breeding for your last time, a source without might
An epitaph oh lost worthlessness - Still echoes your last cries
The earth is pure of the evil that here thrives

Chorus:
I have come to challenge your ways
Light's bane - The Last of your days
Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves
Allow me to erase your feeble race

What marks the death of 'god' is the twilight for a dark age
His creation being plagued with the venomous blood of ours
The sky suffocates eclipsed by a black mist of hatred
Where goodness cannot reach the fire burns in dark flames

Chorus:
I have come to challenge your ways
Light's bane - The Last of your days
Oh broken wings - My darkness enslaves
Will you allow me to erase your feeble race?

How did you like your visit to the states?

Yep. I mentioned ftw too. I should have explained as well.

I heard a new one recently. Instead of saying "epic fail" some people say "epoch fale" or "epoc fale". It's kinda funny to see it spelled that way.

That would be really funny if someone said something and mixed up their epochs (talking about epochs for some reason). Then it really would be "epoch fail".

I really enjoyed my visit to the States, Amael. I'll definitely be back at some point.

FTW= for the win, check. Sounds grammatically incorrect

My friend is going to make a 5-course meal tonight and I'm invited to help partly with the cooking, but mostly with the eating

Hi, I'm sorta back! Sorry for my prolonged absence, just working a bit and all.

Tooth hurts like a$$$$$$, just really hurts. Going to see a dentist, yet that will have to be on Tuesday. So now it's just lots of Tylenol.
