    There is no way to organize my schedule in a way that doesn't suck complete balls and result in me being in lab from 8:00 to 1:40 on Wednesdays.
    God DAMNIT!

    So, my school's support services help desk was hiring... I saw a poster, turned in my resume, got a call the next day, interviewed and offered a job the day after. They originally offered $8.55/hr, which would be somewhere in the range of a 60% paycut from my last job. I said I would have to think about it over the weekend... They came back with an offer for $10.25/hr today.

    I'm really bad about saving in the middle of my work. Fortunately, I've never gotten bitten in the ass over it, which is nice since I ONLY HAVE ONE PAPER LEFT! WOO!

    ...

    It's a little weird, I shift back and forth between "Almost done with classwork!" and "I don't have anything lined up for after I graduate!" Fuck me.

    MOTHER FUCK

    Why does Pope Nicholas I refer to the Justinian Law codes as "the venerable laws!" What does this mean?! Mother fuck fuck fuck! It's significant but I can't figure it out... what does it say about Rome? Relations to Byzantium... fuck, importance, it was important, but how? Why? What about the power struggles between the two? can this tell us anything about that? What does Nicholas mean when he refers to Constantine? Is he trying to claim the Roman legacy in the face of the Byzantine Empire's claims? Maybe... maybe not, too tenuous to say definitively, really.

    Theory: Byzantium and Rome were vying for supremacy in the Balkans; the Bulgarians were a key to that influence. In extolling the virtues and riches of the Roman Church (vis a vis ch. 37 - "we desire to loan you many more [books] through God's largess."), while simultaneously claiming the traditions of Roman Imperial power (vis a vis ch. 33 - "Constantine... the most pious emperor of the Romans and the most famous of all propagators of Christianity" & ch. 39 - quoting directly from Justinian law codes); the Pope is connecting allegiance with Roman Orthopraxy with the inheritance of the Roman Imperial legacy.


    .... FUCK no, that doesn't entirely work, does it? Maybe it does... hrmm, I'm going to write that down

    Oh, that would've been terrible. I definitely never saved in the middle of my work for my Java class.

    Though none of those assignments were that long, whereas with my papers I could lose 7 hours of work (after 5-7 hours, I'd probably take some sort of food break or sleep, which would clue me into the fact that I should save).

    Magnetism totally isn't rooted in quantum mechanics. I mean, it's explained using the concept of an electron cloud, but that's solely because that's the most accurate model. You could still have a valid explanation of magnetism using the Bohr model.

    Well, kinda. I guess it'd be a little fucked in three dimensions.

    uhh pretty sure magnetism is due to electron spin, a purely quantum mechanical thing. I mean you could use other models to explain it, but that's disingenuous when we know they already fail in several situations and we have better models.

    Oh, right. That's where the magnetic force itself comes from - as your signature demonstrates - though magnets / magnetized materials themselves work through slightly less esoteric principles, once you say "these particles attract these particles and repel those particles".
