Funday, bloody funday...

So after a very relaxing and fun-filled week in Mexico with the ardilla bonita y su familia (I actually rode a roller coaster... scary), I am ready to get down to business. No more playing around, no more kid gloves, no more undergraduate attitude, and no more sympathy for the profs.

They have decided to make my summer hell, so I will make their's hell as well. Starting with my macro II prof. Mainly because of time constraints (he goes on some seminar tour on the 23rd), but also because the errors he took points off for on my qualifier were... well I would describe them as nit-picking, but he would most likely disagree. For that, he's the first victim. Tomorrow I study purely Macro II, and on Monday, he gets ambushed the second he walks into the office, and won't leave until he's answered all my questions. Oh yes... they will all soon suffer this fate. My week of relaxation and fun is over, and so is there's. Hope they got it while the gettin was good.

Saw "Proof" while in Juarez. I also saw a Kurt Russel movie that needs no mention as it just... well... stank. Anyway, if you haven't seen Proof, I highly recommend it.
If anyone ever wants to get the gist of the structure, confusion, uncertainty, instability, and insanity of higher mathematics, without bogging yourself down in all the actual math, this is a good introduction. Paltrow actually does a decent job, and seems to almost be able to pass herself off as a mathematician (she got the crazy part down). Hopkins is amazing as always, even if he's stark raving mad... or maybe he's at his best when he does that (Silence of the Lambs, that movie about the bear where Alec Baldwin dies -yay!-).
Jake Gyllenhall (aka "Brokeback"), still cannot quite pass himself off as a straight man. Though he does play a good math nerd.

So tomorrow:
Macro II. Bike ride. Study study study. Maybe a few stories from Juarez if I'm feeling the flow of writing. Kind of hard when I have to go the department to get internet connection.
