Insert your title here. I don't wanna think.
For the past few days I've been really busy with schoolwork that I haven't exactly found the time to blog about how my week went. When I'm not busy, I'm tired or too lazy to blog. I guess Calculus must have been draining my brain too much. I love school, but math is killing me. Actually, Calculus isn't that difficult. It's just that I feel like my brain's turning to mush with overloaded information. Howell. Gotta cope with that.

Because my brain's all mushed up, most probably what I am about to blog would either not make any sense or would lack coherence. Please bear with me as I try to write a decent entry.

Lit class was "fun". Poems about bees and drowsing and nobody and all that stuff courtesy of, according to James, "old school" equipment in the MMR.

I almost fell asleep in Calculus class.

Uana, KatD, Kei, and I checked out the Blue Eagle Christmas Bazaar thingie in the Cervini/Eliazo field. Guess who we bumped into? SIR ARIS!!! I miss him so much. haha :P Sir, do you miss your palangke? XD

I am 1/3 of the Botany class beadles. While doing the seatplan, I discovered that there's exactly a one-to-one ration between males and females in our class. Asteeg.

I wanna watch HP4.

AMA Mall set-up tomorrow at the SEC Field from 7:30am to 12nn. See you guys there! Ingga, let me know when you arrive ah. I'll be in school around 7am...

To make up for this nonsense entry, I'll post a poem tomorrow. :D

Apparently, Coldplay's "The Scientist" is my song of the day. That song keeps on haunting me. People kept singing that song, making me get LSS-ed, and when I sat down for Math class, I noticed that someone had written the lyrics on my table. Weird. It's like someone's trying to tell me something by subconsciously making the song pop up everywhere I go--or maybe yet it's just plain and pure coincidence. Dunno.

Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need ya
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and nurse me your questions

Oh lets go back to the start

Running in circles, coming in tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me

Pure Nerd
60 % Nerd, 34% Geek, 34% Dork
For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.

The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.

Congratulations!

Answer to guide questions by Nats

1.)
Green Algae are obviously the probable ancestors of today’s plants. They have two chlorophylls, the material responsible for their bright-green color. Most of them have cell walls that are made up of two layers. The inner layer is made up of cellulose, while the outer layer is made up of pectin. They may occur as single cells (which may be either motile or nonmotile), in colonies (more often nonmotile), and as multi-cellular filaments (nonmotile). Unicellular forms assume a virtually endless variety of shapes; colonial forms may be loose aggregates of single cells or may have these cells arranged in a characteristic pattern. Some filamentous types bear a superficial resemblance to higher plants.

The organisms called Golden Algae that belongs to Phylum Chrysophyta of Kingdom Protista are also probable ancestors of today’s modern plants. Like plants, the chrysophytes are characterized by their yellowish xanthophyll pigments, which mask the green of the chlorophyll that is also present. Most have cell walls containing silica or calcium.

2.)
Bryophytes are similar to higher plants in that the fertilized egg develops into an embryo, a cell mass dependent on the gametophyte (the sexual plant). Bryophyte embryos, however, develop into sporophytes (asexual plants), which, unlike those of higher plants, remain almost entirely dependent on the gametophytes and have no leaves, stems, or roots. True conductive tissues, such as those in ferns and higher vascular plants, are not found in bryophytes. In their level of organization, the bryophytes lie between the green algae, Chlorophyta, from which they most likely have evolved, and the simpler lower vascular plants such as the Lycopodiophyta. Therefore, tradition states that bryophytes do gave rise to vascular plants, basically because they possess the characteristics that bridge the differences between the probable plant ancestors and the vascular plant organisms.


3.)
Gymnosperms, rather than ferns, are more closely related to angiosperms. It is because they are considered from morphological and molecular evidence to share a common ancestry with the flowering plants. They are woody plants, manifestating as either shrubs, trees, or, rarely, vines, similar to their flowering cousins. They differ from the other phylum of seed plants, the flowering plants (see Angiosperm), in that the seeds are not enclosed in carpels but rather are borne upon seed scales arranged in cones. The gymnosperms are the most ancient seed plants; they appear to have arisen from fern ancestors in the Devonian Period.
