Lotsa pics, beach

Ok, so there are a lot of pics.... They were actually really easy to post with Hello and Picasa... though if I had a large mass of pictures (like I in fact do) then I'd really want a more organized way of getting them on the web, ala those automatic photo album creating things that so many of my friends have...

But I believe it's time to go work some more on Timber, which needs to be done by....later...tonight...ish. Can't wait to start finals later this weekend... siigh :-P

Ok ok, one more story... So last night, I was "doing my 95 homework" (we've already discussed what that really means), and I've gotta be honest with ya, it was VERY LAME. A wise friend of mine, Alex, reminded me that this set only counted for 3% of my final grade in 95, by comparison, I estimated that I would spend .003% of my life on it. The question then becomes: during the course of my life, do I hope to accomplish more or less than the equivalent of 1000 classes in Applied and Computational Mathematics? The answer wasn't very long in coming, and I decided I'd rather be at the beach. So I talked to Steph, and she seemed to share my opinion on the relative importance of doing math, so we decided to go. I tried to get some other people to go, namely Alex, Geoff, and Fiona(san), but they were apparently too caught up in various riveting problem sets of their own, already too committed to be torn away. Of course I type their names here so that it will be preserved for posterity the horrible choice they made on June 2, 2005.

Once I went to Ruddock to retrieve the Stephanie, she started having a slight change of heart, probably because her 116 final was due the next day. So she decided that we should just drive around for a while, which sounded alright to me. In the end, we went to Denny's, and of course spent just as many hours away from Tech as we would have if we had went to the beach. Somehow I knew it would work out like that, but of course I didn't tell Steph, or she never would have come ;). You really just have to lead people on, little by little...it's like that frog that you boil slowly in the pot of water, or people think that if they just eat lots of halves of pieces of cake, they somehow don't count.
