interesting fact of the day #1: two of the campus’ biggest weezer fans are in my room right now playing weezer covers. you might wonder why. i do too.
well, we’re at T-8 hours and counting till dan takes me to the airport. if you’re wondering what books i’m taking to accompany me in my travels, here they are:
attic greek (textbook)
a mathematical introduction to logic (textbook)
warranted christian belief, by philosopher alvin plantinga
the empyrion saga, by stephen r. lawhead.
along with the books comes the music. i’ll be bringing my entire minidisc collection, which has the range of my cd collection, but not the domain. i.e., there is some function V such that V : MD -> CD. meaning, function V is a mapping function which sends each member of the set MD to a member of the set CD. but this map, while it may be homomorphic, is certainly not an isomorphic embedding. therefore MD is not isomomorphic to CD.
that’s what too much logic does to a man.
the upshot is that i have quite a variety of my favorite music. close to 3,000 minutes, in fact. this translates to 50 hours, or 2 days and 2 hours. all in about 20 small discs. and unlike those cheesy mp3 players, this is all CD quality noise, baby.
books, music, the magnificent white noise of the aircraft’s engines, and an especially nice novelty that i’ve never experienced before–a girlfriend in the seat next to me–all these things will more than likely assure my complete happiness during the entire travel stage of the trip. and i’m looking forward to it.
oh yeah, if you’re wondering if anything else interesting happened today, nothing did. i packed some, did laundry, ate (and our dining hall was odd–with kids dressed up as dragons and about 15 billion people milling around–i don’t know what the heck is going on), went to the wall, and that’s about it. and now the weezer party.
and that is that. if you’re into praying, pray for safety in all the flights i, my family, and emily will be on.
so, with that, i take my leave. i look forward to an awesome international trip, some sweet time with god, relaxing time to read, opportunities to talk with emily face to face, time to chill with my family…a host of such good things. and i look forward to recounting the highlights. goodbye until monday, and god bless.
