James’s July 12th Blog

I dreaded sitting through a lecture while nodding off, but I became infatuated with the lecture topics of special and general relativity and stayed wide awake the entire time, until i nearly crashed at lunch.

After lecture, I headed back to the dining hall to once again consume some scrumptious food:
