I hate school

I've been awake since one AM. Before classes I was trying to get my powerpoint together for Philosophy.

I really hope I don't have to work tonight. I have a paper due tomorrow.

As it is, after my last class, I think I'll grab the sources I need for my paper (it's a 3-page bio, and double-spaced at that IIRC), head straight home and take a serious nap, and then write it tonight, skipping online entirely.

My head hurts.

I don't mind being on an off-kilter sleep schedule so long as it's the SAME off-kilter sleep schedule all the time. I don't like sleeping all day on the weekends and then having this sudden shift when Sunday night rolls around.

wikipedia meme

Gacked from [personal profile] gamgeefest.

Go to Wikipedia. Type in your birth date (but not year). List three events that happened on your birthday. List two important birthdays and one interesting death. Post this in your journal. (Addtionally, post any other items of interest.)

March 14 (1986, if anyone's curious.)

Events:
1794--Eli Whitney is granted a patent for the cotton gin.
1903--The Hay-Herran Treaty, granting the United States the right to build the Panama Canal, is ratified by the United States Senate. The Colombian Senate would later reject the treaty.
1994--Timeline of Linux development: Linux kernel version 1.0.0 is released.

Birthdays:
1879--Albert Einstein, German-born physicist, Nobel Prize laureate (d. 1955)  (knew that already, actually ^_^)
1947--Billy Crystal, American actor and comedian

Death:
1883--Karl Marx, German political theorist (b. 1818) (I swear he was the only dude on the list that I'd even heard of.)

Of interest:
Japan--White Day: Japanese holiday similar to Valentine's Day (men give gifts to women).  (knew that, too--on V-day over there, the women give gifts to men)
Pi Day--unofficial mathematics holiday. (heard about that, it's because pi is 3.14)
