the sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace....

so i kinda feel like a dork, and i kinda feel like hermione granger, but i actually want to have the time to read my textbooks for quantitative structures and environmental systems. they're both monolithicly huge books, and hella expensive, so i don't own any of them.

today in systems class i was actually interested in what was going on, and i found myself wanting to read the textbook and better understand what my professor was talking about. that might, of course, have had something to do with how i only got three of ten quiz questions correct, because i hadn't read the book and was just guessing based on logic.

and last night i was doing my homework for structures and i had to read kathryn's book to answer them... and it was interesting.

*headdesk*

not that i have the time or money to do this, really.

Is there a way one of your friends could scan you the pages to be read and then send them to you? Or maybe you could check the book out of the school library?

hm. well, that is a solution for not buying the book that hadn't occurred to me. ....although both books are over 1000 pages. anyway, the bigger problem is having the time to read them. *sighs* which i just don't.

i miss you!!!! what are you up to right now?

I'd say that you could always stand to lose some sleep, but honestly, I've never been very sure tht you ever got enough of that at school as it was.
Anyway...Can't you read in the spare minuites you have between classes? I always have time for a paragraph or two between sitting down for class and class actually beginning.
Right now? Watching "Batman: the Brave and the Bold" with Ian because Will Fridel was voicing the New Blue Beetle. It's...a dissapointing show.
