So I'm sitting here in my underwear procrastinating on the physics problems I have to do for my astronomy and cosmology class. I still haven't decided if I'm going to need a scientific calculator for them or not, but I am still all excited that I was the one who figured out the stellar spectrograms in last class and how they worked and what the spikes meant about stars' size, temperature, and chemical composition. Woo!

Dr. Quantum explains the double slit experiment. It makes me remember some of the weirdness that so fascinated me with quantum physics in the first place; namely, that it makes no sense!

In other news, finished reading Moll Flanders last night. Clearly, marriage is NOT a good way to invest your money; the South Sea Company, a little after Moll's time, might have been SLIGHTLY better. Also, if I ever start time traveling, in addition to going back and fixing my hair for my passport photo, I want to set up some sort of women's investment organization in 17th/18th century London. There have to be more financial options than prostitution or pickpocketing if you're left widowed or otherwise in difficult situations, even if women weren't able to own property or make legal contracts, right?
