Captain's blog, stardate 8294.3...
It seems that in my excitement over getting to write about Star Trek, I forgot that the point of my blog is to talk about what's going on.

Well...I'm really busy. I have a physics test on Monday, a math test on Wednesday, an English paper due Thursday, and a chemistry test a week from Monday. Also, I still have problem sets to do for chemistry and physics. So that kind of stinks.

On the topic of math, I don't think we've had a Quote of the Day from my math professor yet.
"The logistic equation can be used to model population growth, or the spread of a disease, or chemical reactions, or some other disease, like how many people are playing FarmVille on Facebook."

On a different, completely unrelated topic, I didn't get any work done last night, because my dear friend Elena was visiting colleges and we met up in the evening. So that was lovely; I got to advertise my college and jabber on about physics. Also, I got to help improve Elena's woefully inadequate knowledge of Star Wars and Trek.
Elizabeth: Haven't you seen Star Wars?
Elena: I think I saw one of them, it had the little green guy.
Elizabeth: His name is Yoda and almost all the episodes have him. [Episode 4 is the only one which doesn't.]
Elena: Well, uh, there was this guy who talked funny and I think they went to his planet?
Elizabeth: Oh, Jar-Jar. That's Episode 1. Silly Elena.
She's so awesome, and I hope she comes to MIT because she would like it a lot there. She would have to learn at least the names of the main Star Wars characters, though, because that's just common knowledge.
