While looking up the proof to the most beautiful equation in math, e^(i pi)-1=0, I came across this site which debates is better: e or pi. Personally I'm a fan of pi. e is just too funky for my tastes. I do like calculus with e though, since it's so easy to differentiate.

And speaking of math, I have a discrete math test tomorrow (hence why I'm updating, I don't have to study then :)) which I can sum up pretty well by this quote: "Mathematics consists of proving the most obvious thing in the least obvious way." - George Poly�. The whole test is pretty much proving various things that make logical sense, but when you actually try to prove that a set is infinite countable, or prove that the big-O of an nth degree polynomial function is x^n it gets really messy. So any future computer engineers/scientists, you have been warned. It's also one of those courses where you can think you aced it, and it up getting a 50. Happened to me on the last 2 quizes. In better news though, with the curve on our test, I got a 100 on my digital logic midterm, which gives me a 100 average for the course midway through. So I'm muy happy about that :)

Midnight Madness on Friday was awesome. I went with a few friends and had a lot of fun. I'm definitly looking forward to the basketball season, which starts in early November, especially now that our football team is doing so miserable. Of course I've always like basketball more than football, and would have gladly given up my football season tickets for a guarenteed seat in the Rowdy Reptile section each basketball game. Instead I get to stand outside the O'Connell center for 4 hours before the game, but stand I shall! Go Gators!

I hate it when people use those handless cell phone adapters while walking. It looks like they're talking to themselves (or maybe to you?) until you get close enough to see that they're actually talking into a microphone hanging from their ear. And on a related note, I also don't like when you're walking and you hear a "Hey!" right behind you, only to turn around and relieze it was someone just talking on their cell phone. Happens way too often. Or mabye I'm just spiteful since I don't have a cell phone. Of course I never use the phone anyways, so I'm not sure what good a cell phone would do me. What I need is portable AIM, and none of this text-messaging type stuff, I need a full portable keyboard. Yep yep.
