Crazy

Man o man, I had a pretty cool day. Met someone new. They were cool. I hung out at the mall with them and a few other people until they all decided to go to someone's house. I didn't feel like going so I walked home instead. It's not too bad of a walk, but it is rather boring.

I can't wait until I get my license. I could've had it March 14th, but I still needed another 36 1/2 hours of driving then. Now(passing from 2 to 3 months later), I only need 30! Woohoo, I'll have my license in 3 years at this rate. (I did the math)

Anyways, I had a gifted education seminar today, it was great. We've been talking about Einstein's theory of relativity and the whole speed of light stuff. It's really awesome. I wrote down the name of three books I want to check out. They are all by a college professor named Carl Sagan. One of the books is a fiction novel that I believe was turned into a movie. It's called "Contact." The other two books I want to check out are "Dragon of the Earth" and "Cosmos." He wrote all of them.

I believe "Dragon of the Earth" has to deal with the brain and it's different functions. And "Cosmos" has to deal with all of his different theories. Carl Sagan is two years dead now, but while he was alive he was a college professor at a school in the US. He helped design three different vehicles for space travel at speeds near the speed of light. One used nuclear fission and "putted" along using the blasts to give it giant bursts of energy. That idea was trashed once the treaty was signed banning the explosion of nuclear devices in space. The next one used nuclear fusion, taking the energy harness from that to go along. The last, and most recent, used a giant scoop to collect hydrogen atoms from space and harness the energy from that to go along. The entire topic makes me all giddy inside with joy. It uses my mind in ways school could never hope to accomplish. I am glad that I got into the gifted education program in elementary school. All due to my curiosity, go me!

Anyways, with that thought, I'm out. Peace.
