I got to spend three hours watching the original series of Star Trek (we decided to watch that instead of The Twilight Zone because we were too lazy to pull her DVD collection out of storage in her closet) on Hulu with the girl I really like (who is, sadly, already attached, but for some reason, I don't actually seem to care too much about that fact-I appear to be quite fine being in the "just friends" realm, which is something I would never have expected to be happy with). The whole time I spent with her was wonderful.

I hope to do it again some time soon.

I have been extremely content for the past week or so.

I don't really know why-nothing particularly good has happened or anything (though I will be visiting the girl I like this afternoon/evening for some Chinese food and The Twilight Zone ).

It's a feeling I haven't really felt in a looooong time, and it feels wonderful

EDIT: something came up, so I won't be seeing her until tomorrow, but that does not take away from my inexplicable happiness

As few of you may know, I got booted from living on campus this coming year due to the fact that my parents did not take care of the student housing agreement as quickly as they should have (I couldn't because I was not 18 at the time).

As a result, I had to search for a complex near campus for me and my roommate (to whom something similar happened). It boiled down to this one significantly cheaper and closer but 300-ish square foot-quite small-one in a relatively bad neighborhood northeast of campus versus a 910 square foot one (smaller apartments were not available at this location) that cost 400 dollars more per month total, or 200 dollars more per person, and was farther away from campus (but across the street from a metro station, making transportation quite easy), but was in a far nicer area.

The two of us decided on the one in the nicer area. We thought that the smaller one would have cramped us a bit too much (though the larger one definitely has room for two more people).

We signed the lease agreement today and are moving in on the 23rd of August.

I am now 18.

Today in church (I go because my parents would be suspicious of my religious beliefs if I did not), I was thinking, and I may have come up with a way to "fill in the gaps" in differentiation. In addition to having first, second, third, etc. derivatives, I may have found a way to do, say, half derivatives.

This is big if it's actually right. REAL big.

Due to the magnitude of its potential impact on the world of mathematics' academia, I can't really go into details at this time, but...good God-I'm ecstatic right now.
