Sweet!  I've caught the learning bug again.

My only bittersweet feeling is that dad would have loved to see me get interested in complicated maths.  And I'd have such a great resource.

Fuck cancer.

Finished up Universality, which is a really cool result, how the behavior of simple functions can be seen in complex real-world structures.

On to Phase Space!

It happened. I'm now voluntarily going through the Khan Academy algebra classes so I can then take Trig and Calc. All so I can figure out this System Dynamics stuff properly.

Well, at least it's not heroin.

I am, quite against my better judgement, seriously considering taking some chemistry classes at the U of A.

Because fucking water.

I totally need to do that. Well, I need to finish Trig so I can take Calc, though honestly, I don't have any use for it now, other than curiosity.

At least you're doing it for a degree.

This stuff has literally NO application to either my work or any of my current hobbies.

I'm retaking algebra for FUN.

I dread the idea of you having more control over water than you have now. That shit ends with "....and then there was a tsunami everywhere".

I watched lessons 1-3 onNotes and rhythm, and now my head feels like it's gonna asplode.  I forgot how awesome (but kind of hard) music reading is.
