Two major tests this past Wednesday in physics and digital logic, and then two more tests Tuesday in Statics and Discrete. Midterms.... ugh. Discrete is the one I'm the most worried about, since that class tries to make the logical illogical. Where you can count an infinite set of numbers. Where they make division into a confusing proof and turn common-sense into mishmash. It's crazy. So much studying this weekend for that.

I recieved my absentee ballot in the mail today. I really ought to just say my residence is in Gainesville since I consider it my "home" and legislation here affects me a lot more than Tampa legislation does. But for the Nov. 5 elections I'm registered as living in Tampa, so I requested my absentee ballot a month or so ago and they mailed them at the beginning of the month. There's a bunch of admendments on it, some I've heard of (banning smoking in restaurants) and others I hadn't (animal cruelty to pigs). So needless to say I have a lot of research to do, to find out what exactly I'm voting on, and who I want to vote for. Since I consider myself one of those "moderate" voters, I don't like voting a straight Republican/Democrat ticket. I want to see what they really stand for. It's one of the nice things about absentee voting, I can search on Google for different viewpoints and have time to think about what I'm choosing instead of semi-randomely choosing something in a voting booth. Google's been extremely helpful in this regard. And speaking of Google, gotta love Google News

Also went to an orchestra concert tonight, which was really cool. A guy on my floor was the first chair for cello, so my RA organized a walkover to see it. This is why I love college, free interesting stuff is only a 10 minute walk away.

Midnight Madness is tomorrow night, so looking forward to that. Go Gators!
