basis vector zero

i'm sure there are worse places, but minneapolis is the first i've ever been where the weather can change so drastically over a period of thirty-six hour. having a room kept at 300K means that at one time your room will be much much colder than outside, and then eighteen hours later your room will be much much hotter than outside.

presentation tomorrow, hope all goes well. it seems like my slides will go over 15-minute time allocated per student, but then that's just too bad.

note to self: sleeping early means you can wake up early and still get seven hours of sleep, but never touch the bed after you wake up or something stupid and terrible will happen, which won't seem to be stupid and terrible until you wake up again three hours later, cursing at yourself.

i think i've given up experimental physics entirely. this is ridiculous. i do not see the point in doing this. so what's my atonement? schutz' general relativity. i have to finish studying the book after all, or grinstein will definitely grind my ass next quarter.

then i realized that i have not been able to get over the fact that franky bites, and hence:



yes, yes, that was doodled on my general relativity book. don't tell my professor.
