Division

First day of school, first day of classes. My first class for this school year is Biology 102. The professor that teaches this class is old. When I first walked in, another professor was helping him to use the microphone correctly. Basically, there are two kinds - one that you wear on your shirt or whatever and allows you to move around the room or the one that is part of the computer desk podium thing in front. Well, the biology professor was heard on the microphone saying, "I don't like those. No! I don't plan on moving around. Bah. This is fine enough for me."

And then he starts the lecture, something about how to explain biology one has to explain the other sciences also. To explain how one walks, one must know how the muscles work, to know how the muscles work, one has to know how cells work. And ultimately, to know how cells work, one has to know how molecules and atoms worked.

He also gave this interesting tangent on life and death. On how the two states of being are vague but everyone has a very exact boundary for it. And I guess because everyone's definition of life and death differ so much, even if everyone is sure that they are right, this makes it even more vague. It's interesting how we can die but doctors can remove our heart and put it in someone else's chest and have it working like it was their heart all along. And that the only thing that dies is your brain, your body is still in good shape (give or take).

Why are we so fragile? Because we're not held together by much. Why are we so unique? Because we're so fragile.

I hung out with Steve. I showed him my eccentric taste in music. However, it's not really complete. Whenever I plan on showing people my tastes in music, I always get so impatient with songs and skip over them quickly. For someone to really know my taste in music, I guess they would have to sit with me and listen to songs with me for a week or something. But we didn't have that time. We only had a few hours.

I still want to hang out with Colin. And even Jordan.

I saw Kevin today. He and I were wearing the same thing from yesterday's party. We said we would and we did.

My Physics teacher is interesting in an old man kind of way. He's liberal so he keeps going off on political tangents (somehow). It's going to be interesting.

And I'm divided. I had planned on etching it out here but sometimes, some things are better left revealed to the person who I am divided about before turning it into writing here.
