1. UW
Update Thursday 1/19/15 (Brief)
a. Physics
tutorial on magnets and circuits, neat stuff.
b. Cow
class. Discussed Odyssey, Greek views of cattle, paradoxical balance between
wanting to control animal world and yet celebrating Dionysian animal-like
behavior symbolized by half-animal, half-human satyrs.
c. Ate
lunch at 8; listened to Serial and did reading
d. Went
to physics lab, did circuits.
e. Went
to Paccar and met with Walker and Maria about Cow presentation on Maasai. Interesting
sidenote: turns out Maria has an interest in math education.
f. Played
Frisbee for a bit in the quad with a guy from Glee Club and a few of his
friends.
g. Went
to Glee Club. I’m definitely on the beginners’ awesome steep learning curve with
respect to both reading music and voice technique.
h. Grabbed
dinner at 8 with Xin.
i. Returned
to dorm, talked with Donovan in hall.
j. Went
to Film Club with Jamie. Watched cool movie called The Guest.
k. Returned
to dorm, did physics reading, then decided to go read in the lounge. This
fateful decision had the usual consequences:
i. I was called in to help with someone’s (in
this case Sasha’s) physics hw.
ii. I
was subsequently distracted by conversation (in this case, with Sasha and Xin
and then with the new RA.) This is, in my current model, a feature, not a bug.
iii. I
finally got some reading in, then decided I would collapse mentally if I read
for any longer.
l.
Went up, wrote this log.
