wow! just had a really great class of german.
recently i've been wondering if i really want to continue with the german. between the PHY specialist and that as a minor, i'll have, literally, no time to take any frivolous courses.
but today was a great lesson about the dative case, and i was all like "yeah, i can do this!"

in fact, school in general has been cool this term. in calc we're doing integrals, in PHY we are doing special relativity - which is very neat. the thing about s.r. is that everything is so EASY to derive once you have the two postulates (equivalence of frames of reference, and that c = c in all frames). i guess einstein's genius was figuring out those two postulates.
i want to read that book i have, On the Shoulders of Giants, so i can find out how such mad ideas popped into his little white head.
