Day 4 - I am overwhelmed.

I have to keep this blog short if only because I have an entire chapter of chemistry I need to finish and a few hours of coherent time left. I can already feel the edges of sleep creep away at my conscious mind.

So yesterday my roommates and I were having a funny conversation about being handicapped (since we are in, in fact, the handicap room). But "handicapped" is not politically correct, so we were calling it... differently abled? I think.

I think the worst handicap anyone could have is to not be open minded. How often are people proven wrong every day who continue in their ignorance? I know that was a really weird jump in thought, but as I was sitting in Lit&Civ today, I noticed how many things are true that I would have never thought possible. The same is true for science. It's constantly changing, always evolving. There is no set TRUTH, because everything is a theory. No matter how true a theory is in the scientific sense (like the theory of gravity), it can always be proven wrong. Just like the theory of germs. You know?

So keep an open mind the rest of this week. See what it brings you.

(And wash your hands, because swine flu is going around. We want open minds, not open diseases.)
(you know, on the subject of germs...)
