Look what I found! It's another story set in the Ender universe. Yeah!!! I found this while at Barnes and Noble today. I decided that I wanted to read it without paying the $12.95 cover price, so I bought a soda and sat in the cafe for two hours reading. LOL. I actually had a really nice time, and I'm glad the book is short, because otherwise I would have had to leave it there and then ordered it from the library. Yes, so, if you too are interested in reading more Ender books, try A War of Gifts, and First Meetings in Ender's Universe. I can't guarantee that you'll like them, but I did, so I suggest you give it a try in your "free" time. :D
Oh yeah, and as an afterthought, I took my physics final today and it went fine. I know for sure that I got one question wrong, but overall I did well, so I kinda don't care. Allow me to rephrase that. Ever since I found out that this was not a Physics for major's course, I've been a little bummed out; however, since I had to finish the class, I did as well as I could. Despite my best, and I do mean my very best efforts, the teacher is an annoying perfectionist that doesn't even recognize the effort or quality of one's work, believes that there is no such thing as perfection, and therefore is never satisfied with your work (something is always wrong you see), so I've given up on the teacher, and Physics to a certain extent. At this point, I'm just happy to be done with the class, and we'll see if I bother with any other Physics classes...
So, on a happier note, I had a very nice afternoon, yes I did. I went to B&N, then I walked around Manhattan, had dinner at Kosher Delight, and afterwards I walked to Bryant park and watched the ice skaters. Also, in the park I looked at this huge statue of William Cullen Bryant, the man who the park is named after, and I was very taken with the inscription on the base. It read as follows:
OF PASSION FIND AN UTTERANCE IN THY LAY,
A BLAST THAT WHIRLS THE DUST
ALONG THE HOWLING STREET AND DIES AWAY;
BUT FEELINGS OF CALM POWER THY MIGHTY SWEEP.
LIKE CURRENTS JOURNEYING THROUGH THE MINDLESS DEEP.
