Nature's engineers

I wore my MIT Beavers skirt tod. Muaha. Muaha. I love how it's geeky & risqué at the same time. Oh, MIT.

105 on my calc test this morning. How's that for never doing the homework assignments? No, I do pay attention in class and I did the two review problems the night before, so. I'm not actually a math genius.

The test was on finding the volume of solids by revolution; I had enough time to go back and integrate via both the disc/washer & shell methods, so I was able to double check all my answers. And it helps that my calculator is the sexiest thing evar and knows how to integrate all on its onesies. Saves time, that one.

So how about Lost last night? Sayid's flashbacks were definitely my favourite non-Dom character backstory. Golf was adorable, too.

Was going to type "And aww, golf." but I've been told by various sources that I say "aww!" an awful lot. [Get it? Awwful? Ahahaha. . .]

It's really not my fault, though. I don't mean to say it. It's because I spent too much time with these l0sars this summer.

Hey, guess what! Our gov teacher wasn't here tod. so we were doing busy work about the political culture and I learned some fascinating things.

For example, people are more likely to vote for an equally qualified homosexual than me because I'm an atheist.

There are all these really fascinating charts in the gov text book. [We're finally getting to interesting material­­­­­-- i.e., not federal grants.] For example, changes in level of political tolerance.

In 2000: If your party nominated a generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be a (name of group), would you vote for that person?

Percentage who said yes:
Black: ~95%
Catholic: just under "Black"
Woman/Jew: ~91%
Homosexual: just under 60%
Atheist: just under 50%

Is that intense or what? God, how I hate Americans.
