Not logic.

Hello again.

Today I was going to talk to you about predicate logic, because you want to know how to write things in mathematics. And like I already told you, when you write things in what you think is maths, what you're probably actually doing is writing things in logic. So I was going to teach you how to do it. But then, as it turns out, I couldn't figure out how to write the necessary symbols up here, and I couldn't copy them from anywhere, because pasting didn't actually give me the symbols, it gave me boxes that indicated there's supposed to be a symbol there.
So I'm not going to do that, at least not this week.

This also means, that I don't (once again) really have anything to talk about.

I don't know. I don't even know what I'm spending my time doing.

I finished Wool, the book I was reading there, and I got mom to buy me the second book of the trilogy, so now I'm working on that. And while doing that, I have the nagging feeling of a deadline for a five page essay next Monday. And the fact that for a too manyth year a row I'm trying to apply to a university, if I'd finally get rid of being a maths student, and I now have just over two months time to learn everything about high school biology. This wouldn't be a problem, if there was a correlation with the IB biology ans the national high school biology, because I think I still remember the biology I've studied pretty well. I think.
Either way, now I'm stuck in a situation where I've studied twice as much biology as most of the other people applying to biology, but most of it is completely useless for the exam that determines whether I'll get in or not, because about a quarter of the stuff for the exam is ecology, which we only covered very, very briefly on IB, and in which I'm not all that interested in.
So I could tell the structure of a neuron and on a molecular level how messages are passed through them. But no, instead of asking stuff I might know, the exam will consist of questions like "If you cut down an area in the woods, in which order will stuff start growing back?" That, only using terms I have never heard before, because we don't do that kind of stuff on IB.
So that's gonna be fun.

Also, there's the problem of I killed my thumb last night in capoeira and it hurts a little to write, so I can't really make the supercool notes from the book while studying like I was going to. So I can use that as an excuse to not to study for a while. Which means that I will be running out of time even more than I am right now.

Seriously, I've got nothing sensible to talk about right now, and I really just want to reading a good book. Which is something I shouldn't do. I'll try to figure out how to get the logic symbols up here for next week, so I can teach you that works then.
