a. UW
Update Tuesday Mar. 10
i. I’ll
keep it short, since I’m acutely aware that during Dead Week (at least this
quarter), every second of blogging time comes straight from sleep J Woke up at 6:30 and
spent the morning finishing the last mini-paper for Cows.
ii. After
Cows, ate lunch at the HUB, then went to the McMahon music practice room and
worked on perfecting a Glee Club song.
iii. Returned
to dorm and did physics hw.
iv. Went
to Glee Club. Dr. Boers is back, and with him, all our songs are sounding quite
well indeed.
v. Grabbed
a burrito at the 8 and read more Free to
Learn for my unschooling project. Becoming more and more convinced that the
entire domain of ideas about structured education is just completely wrong.
Originally founded, as Peter Gray argues, in states’ and religions’ need to
create deferent citizens and curb “natural rebellion”, compulsory school is
broken in terms of motivation, basic psychology, and simple utilitarian
happiness calculations.
vi. Returned
to dorm, did more physics homework. Got derailed by trying to solve a
differential equation related to the gnarly final postlab; waded through
extensive computations on paper and Mathematica, and got nowhere.
vii. Walked
off my frustration, came back, read more Freedom
to Learn, figured out how to use my borrowed camera for voice-over
recording for Cows, wrote this log, and went to bed.
