A big deal.

It's nearly midnight. I'm just sitting down after the drive home from campus and a weak attempt to substitute chips and salsa for a meal because I'm too tired to cook anything (parents: I ate dinner). I have a test in Linearity tomorrow and I want to share a thought that occurred to me while I studied this evening. While it may be true that I stay up later the night before a test because I want to make sure I have gone over everything, it is not true that I spend the whole time studying for that test. What I mean is that it isn't just the test that keeps me up; tonight will be a good example, since I plan to work on Numerical Methods homework until I go to sleep. I think that what happens is I get my brain so fired up (and perhaps I drink a little more coffee than usual) in preparation for the test that even after I feel like I have studied enough, I am still motivated to do school work. The point is that I could be well-studied and well-rested for my test tomorrow but will instead just be well-studied.

Now that I have said that, though, I realize that I home, drinking a beer and eating cheese and crackers (I killed the salsa) and those three may well conspire to send me to bed more-or-less on time.

But until then...Polynomial interpolation techniques!

The cheese is habanero and my tongue is about to fall off.
