Focus, focus! 2004-03-05 @ 2:17 p.m.
I felt guilty in Physics class today. Here's Professor Hichwa going to all this effort to really thoroughly explain problems with conservation of energy, and I just can't focus. I try sitting in the front, I stare right where he's pointing at, but no matter what I do these days, I just can't seem to keep my mind on physics! There's something about physics that makes my mind drift elsewhere. I remember being the same in my high school math class - thank God I didn't let myself fall asleep this time. I guess the fundamental truth is I'm just not that interested in it. Or, as I like to think, I am, but I have much bigger priorities in my life and interests.
Science is awesome, and really interesting when you're in the mood for it. But as I've discovered, its very neutral and can be used for bad stuff as well as good stuff. Science and so-called progress is not going to save us, mostly because our world leaders are irrational people consumed by fear, but also because science can only tell us what we can do, not what we should.
So I ended up being a real clock watcher for that class today, but it is the last class of the week, after all. And I don't know why, but suddenly I had this craving to play Age of Kings come out of nowhere too! Too bad I didn't take any games with me to school - but that would be a GOOD thing. Yes, studying: good. Wasting 4 hours playing 1-player games: bad.
