Lest We Forget

I'm told that it snowed this morning, but I had no idea. I was sitting three feet from a window, and had no idea. I don't think it snowed very much or for very long, but it did snow. Neat.

And why didn't I notice? Because between most of yesterday afternoon and all of today, I reworked all of the math problems we've covered since the mid-term. That's a lot of problems, and I feel like I could do about half of them on the spot. I plan on getting up in the morning around 9:00, and reviewing theory / memorizing some proofs. Here's hoping.

The Technical Writing Final was tonight, because the professor isn't going to be anywhere near Tullahoma next Tuesday. That was fine with me - I prepared as much for the final tonight as I would have next week. It was pretty stupid. It did get me out of the house for a bit, even if we're getting a draft from Northern Siberia right now.

Smallville was pretty good tonight, but the best thing about it was the trailer for the next episode in January - "Justice." Basically, we'll have Clark Kent, Green Arrow, Cyborg, The Flash, and Aquaman all fighting bad guys together in one show. Sweet.

Finally, today is December 7th, the 65th anniversary of that attack on Pearl Harbor. I generally wax philosophical on days like this, and today is no different. I'm saddened that it barely came up today, as it rarely does. I know that it was a pretty long time ago, but in all honesty it was one of the pivotal moments in 20th Century America - if not America's entire history. I guess I feel like its important to remember. Someone should.
