I went to the co-op right after my physics exam this morning, to triumphantly (sp?) sell back my physics book. But alas, I was screwed - a new edition has come out. So if anyone wants a sixth-hand broken down shell of a college physics book, you can't have it because it will be an important participant in some interesting rituals this summer.

Hmm, what was it that I was going to write about? I went home for a day late Friday afternoon. I wrote somewhere that it takes 2.3 days for me to get tired of my brother - it's much, much less time for my little sister. She's a great kid, but that's because she's exactly like me. That's also why I can only take it in small doses.

My dad and I had an interesting conversation during the drive home. Well, any conversation with him is interesting. He's reading an organic chemistry textbook for fun. Yep. Anyway, we were discussing politics, or more accurately people in relation to politics. I've known for a while that I can't have political "discussions" with friends whose political opinions differ greatly than mine. I get angry and frustrated, and had chalked it up to my stubborn nature. I avoid the subject in mixed company whenever possible, even when provoked. My dad sympathized with me on this, but also provided me with some validation. I can't remember exactly what he said per se, but it had to with principles. Basically, strong political beliefs are rooted in one's principles. Having political "discussions" (read: arguments) is akin to having your principles challenged, which is why most strong-principled people tend to get emotional in arguments. They won't compromise their principles. So, I'm not just stubborn, I'm principled. I've used the word "principle" quite a bit in this paragraph.

The 4 or so hours of sleep are catching up to me.....think I'm gonna crash for now, study calc later. Byeeeee......
