I'm whole time learning all kinds of things. This one guy's teaching me about resistors in parallel or series, which I already knew about. He's also teaching me (as an extension of the prior) all about drinking straws in parallel and series. We never covered drinking straws at GCSE, but I did some further reading after the lecture and now I feel pretty confident.
We have this funny polling software we use in class to answer questions, and during the aforementioned lecture there was a bug which meant that the answers you could choose from were all related to drinking straws, even if the question was about blocks of metal or resistors. This amused me and my friends greatly, and we took it upon ourselves to select option A, 'A short straw', every time. I made a lot of puns about us having 'pulled the short straw' when it became apparent that our answer was incorrect. The whole thing was immensely witty.
I am also learning about soul music, and how it is good for my ears. My friend John is helping me.
You know what's funny? Saturday is usually my most boring day. All the other days are full of learning, conversing, gospel choiring, Christian Unioning and doing whatever I please. Saturday is mostly all about waking up super late to find my house and calendar totally absent of activity. Yesterday I spent a pretty large segment of time playing Skyrim, which served nicely as a warm up for my early evening quest to the local , Sainsburys, which I looted into oblivion. I guess it was just the right time of day, because the reduced section had discarded its inhibition and gone all out reduced. I remember having to put back some pizzas because I knew that I only had room for so many in my fridge. When I got home I ate pizza and watched Adventure Time whilst wearing my new hat, which was probably the best part of my day.
You're probably curious about that new hat I mentioned just a second ago right? If we want to explore that (and we do) then we'll have to go back in time to Friday. Friday was a good day. It stared good because it was the first full day of wearing my other new hat, a replacement French Pith that I had purchased from village hats in a sale. During the day I learnt some whack facts about systems. Check this: a light switch is a dynamic system because the input gives a different output depending on the state of the system. Anyway, the real fun was on the commute between university and my accommodation, during which I purchased three items, all from charity shops. One was a hat (the aforementioned 'new hat), a black and grey flat cap. The other two were books. One 'Ultimate Spiderman Volume 9' and the other was 'The Human Christ', which I gather is a non-theistic look at the historical account of Jesus' life. The copy is both copious and tiny, but the blurb says that it's kind of funny in places. I like this quote from the back:
'Ever since science swept away superstition and the age of reason dawned, anxious thinkers and scholars have been rationalizing Christ's life, yet the more it has been explained the more inexplicable it has become. Whether recast as dissident rabbi, revolutionary nationalist, or even, in some cases, well-meaning lunatic, Christ steadfastly refuses to make sense, the task of fitting theory to scriptural 'fact' entailing feats of intellectual agility which make miracles appear mundane.'
I haven't started reading it because I'm reading Michael Reeves' 'The Good God', which is an eye opening look at the beauty of the trinity and how it is the backbone of the fundamental nature of God. It is very good and easy to read and y'all should read it. I am telling you about books that I am reading so you know about how clever I am.
Well done for getting to the end of this one. I feel it lacked the coherency and overall 'flow' of the previous entry. I like to keep you on your toes.
