By now, the sense that school has actually started has really kicked in, mainly because all my teachers are starting to hurl homework and projects and tests and quizzes at us. Of course, I know it's going to be worse in term 3. Right now, I am so frustrated with my old, 4-year old laptop, and I can't wait for my new computer (which, supposedly, is going to be purchased before Thanksgiving). I keep getting the sense that once I get my new, faster (20 times faster) computer, I will get more organized and productive. I guess I am too attached to technology. Today's highlight is.. well.. nothing. I did get my new TIME magazine, though. It is (as always) very interesting and biased. I think that one of the skills I have obtained by subscribing to TIME is the ability to identify bias, whether it's political or otherwise. I read an interesting article which investigated our true evolutionary origins. According to the article, primitive humans and chimps actually interbred for a while before separating in each's evolutionary path.
