-Habakkuk 3:17-18: "Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior."-

Well, had a dream that I was a penguin last night. Still didn't realize that I was dreaming.... and this was after I had flown in a bunch of planes about to crash. Can't quite remember how my brain managed to transition me between those two episodes.

Guess I'm not dreaming right now though. I have 5 fingers, I can remember what I was doing an hour ago, I can see the tip of my nose, and ::jumps:: I can't fly. Oh, and I can't breathe when I plug my nose.

And now for the random segue of the day:

Has anyone else ever wondered why it is the normal practice in high schools to begin with Biology, then Chemistry, then Physics? I mean, to me it makes more sense (as long as you have enough math background- which could be a little problematic I suppose) to take them in the complete reverse order. Chemistry builds on stuff you learn in Physics (plus you need zero chemistry or biology to understand physics), and Biology DEFINITELY needs Chemistry knowledge beforehand to really make sense.

As we customarily do it now, Bio students are stuck pretty much just memorizing the names of animals and parts of the body, instead of actually figuring out how the things work at a basic level (e.g. DNA, protein folding, how ATP really works not just memorizing that it's the energy carrier), as it is done in college. But perhaps I'm different. I do know that I tend to be a very "macro lens" kind of person, wanting to look at the details all the time, none of this big picture first and all that. I joke that that is why I ended up being nearsighted (more likely the other way around). But I notice that I tend to hold books very close when I read them, sit squashed up against the table when I write, that kind of stuff.

And yes, I do take a whole lot of photos in Macro setting.* In case you were wondering.

That'll be all for today. Now ask yourself: "Am I dreaming?"



*by the way, why is everyone concerned about getting so much ZOOM out of point-and-shoots? I think that R&D would be better spent figuring out how to get a point-and-shoot to take a decent Macro shot.
