| Sleep With A Few Perspectives:Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care
The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast.
~William Shakespeare, Macbeth
Dawn: When men of reason go to bed.
~Ambrose Bierce
Sleep is perverse as human nature,
Sleep is perverse as legislature....
So people who go to bed to sleep
Must count French premiers or sheep,
And people who ought to arise from bed
Yawn and go back to sleep instead.
~Ogden Nash, Read This Vibrant Exposé
Sleeping is no mean art: for its sake one must stay awake all day.
~Friedrich Nietzsche
I have not slept in 40 hours. I'm glad I have good company.

| Production, Money, Capitalism Today, for better or worse, was one of the most productive days in my recent history. I think falling into the psychological ditch of aiming just to get shit done would be horrible; however, I do not feel that this has been the case: I spent the great majority of the day in the Regenstein, doing a rather difficult topology problem set. The concepts I was struggling with were immensely interesting. In algebraic topology, it all boils down to making loops n' lines and bending them to your liking. For something so simple fundamentally, the crazy shit you can do and prove is a bit startling, but such is math, and such is why I enjoy it so much.

| Keys, Tissue Box, CoffeeLife has been going rather well as of late. Not long ago, the
super-egoish drive for grades veered off the highway, and I've been
much much happier for it. I do realize that such things shouldn't
go ignored; after all, I still do want to be a theoretical
physicist. However, I am much happier focusing upon learning
material as opposed to focusing on how to stay a-float in difficult
classes.
So with that monkey off my back, my disposition has had a hardcore
injection of happiness recently. I've gotten back to cheerier
inclinations only known earlier in the quarter. I mean, I am not
satisfied with the way everything in my life is going, but that gives
me something to strive for, I suppose. Enough self-philosophizing
for one xanga.

| Just recently, it feels as if a huge burden has been lifted off of my back. More on this later. | | |
