Tim: Alexandria!
Aubry: Alexandria!

This was perfectly timed with super enjoying this song on my way to class this morning, watching old family video of my mom growing up via my grandparent’s 50th anniversary montage this weekend, and my study break at the exact moment of the Pitchfork tweet.

I just hiccoughed (or hiccuped).
In medicine it is known as synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF), or singultus, from the Latin singult, “the act of catching one’s breath while sobbing”.

The Truth Wears Off →
Although many scientific ideas generate conflicting results and suffer from falling effect sizes, they continue to get cited in the textbooks and drive standard medical practice. Why? Because these ideas seem true. Because they make sense. Because we can’t bear to let them go. And this is why the decline effect is so troubling. Not because it reveals the human fallibility of science, in which...
Standard's standards.
Length- A meter (m) is the distance traveled by light in a vaccum during a time interval of 1/299792458 s.
Time- A second (s) is the duration of 9129631770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.
Physics is kind of neat so far.
Hey Cree,
Thanks for making me laugh at the most unlikely, sometimes inappropriate, and always wonderful times, and for making me smile each time you cross my mind.
You being on this earth is one of my favorite things about it, and I’m glad we have today to celebrate a BRILLIANT! thing like you.
I will probably love you forever.

Just finished my last available practice test.
Must hold on to information until tomorrow, 2pm. Then, my rationed synapses will empty of OChem and fill with all the knowledge I have been suppressing. My name. Social function. How to drive a car. Tomorrow will be nice.

Dear all invitations to everything ever,
No.
Tree of Life was unbelievably awesome.
Also, since I just committed myself to it on fb, Tim Nissen is unbelievably awesome, and it’s nice that he started living 20 years ago today.

Eliza Dolittle: But I can get along without you. Don't you think I can't!
Prof. Henry Higgins: I know you can. I told you, you could. You've never wondered, I suppose, whether...whether I could get along without you?
Eliza Dolittle: Don't you try to get around me. You'll have to.
Prof. Henry Higgins: So I can, without you or any soul on earth. I shall miss you, Eliza. I've learned something from your idiotic notions. I confess that humbly and gratefully.
Eliza Dolittle: Well, you have my voice on your gramophone. When you feel lonely without me you can turn it on. It has no feelings to hurt.
Prof. Henry Higgins: Well, I can't turn your soul on.
