There is a goddamn hornet in my room, or a wasp, or something like that. We're both fighting for the same space, so I guess that makes us kinda the same. (Like charge repels...) And he had to torment me right in the middle of my E&M homework, which I can never seem to get done. (Opposite charge attracts...) Of course, I never feel like I'm done with my homework cause it always keeps coming. I have three assignments due in the next twenty-four hours...and this stuff is supposed to make my life seem meaningful? I never knew a Fourier series could do that for me. Of course, I'm glad for the forms of respite in my life. First, there's chess, something I haven't been getting nearly enough of. I got to chill for about two hours and just throw pieces over the board. Great feeling. Even Shannon played a game. And, I got to spend time with Shannon, but that has never been a form of respite...that's the time that is most sacred to me. I could never merely call that respite. But, there never seems to be enough hours in a day...and they all seem to run away from me. I never know where they go. (What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field produced by a semi-infinite rod placed on the x-axis with a charge 'q'...)
