I had some sort of vague idea for a post last night, but since I didn't do anything about it, it promptly slipped away.
Oh, well.
Life continues to be amusing. Over the course of the last week, I have managed to do quite a few things. I gave a presentation on the Anthropic Principle, complete with a short discussion on why what we observe now cannot have any effect on the beginning of the universe, as well as entertaining questions on whether the idea that the universe tends toward the existence of life, especially mankind, is Biblical. And I do mean Biblical with a capital 'B'. All quite fascinating indeed.
I also managed somehow to climb a tree for the first time in probably a year. One of the nicest parts of going to school here in the South is the fact that spring is in full stride at the beginning of March. I love it. It's so nice to be able to walk around in sandals on a regular basis.
Let's see... other notable happenings of late...
Ah, yes. I submitted my paper to a conference, and it was accepted.
I feel quite important now. Or maybe that's just the after-effects of finishing off the box of baklava that my mom sent me for midterms.
Anyway, where was I?
Oh, yes. The paper. It's not terribly long, as I'll have to have it read in about 15 minutes or so. But I did put a lot of work into it, and I'm rather proud of it. Plus, it gave me an excuse to reread "That Hideous Strength" several times. And that's always a good thing. And while I was at it, I volunteered to help out at the conference itself, thus allowing me to skip over the registration fee and get excused absences from all my classes. I'm kind of excited.
All this is very strange, of course, since I'm a Computer Science person. A Computer Science Engineering major, to be exact. And thus the whole 'writing is fun!' thing is still taking awhile to seep into my brain. But writing can be fun, given the right circumstances.
*hunts around for appropriate ending to a thoroughly random post*
Ah, yes. This is the last school week before spring break. I am Officially Happy about that.
