General stuff.

I had an interesting day today. I was a bit knackered by the end of school due to my working out in the mornings, but otherwise it wasn't too bad. Like in physics, we all got our tests back today. Dr. Willis curved pretty heavily, although my grade still confuses me. I missed 5 points, and yet I have a 94%. He even said that the highest score(s) in the class had missed only 5, so I don't understand why it would lower the grade. Ah well, tis a kickass grade considering.

The rest of my classes were pretty uneventful, although it's super keen that I actually ran into Maria on the way out. I spent all of a minute saying hello, but as it's about the most I've gotten to say to her in two weeks, I find it quite nice. Although, what Xander said to Riley pops so readily into mind. "How is it that she can always make me feel suave Xander's left the building?"

The only other thing I've done today is order the book I need for my small group/bible study thing as no one seems to carry any blasted copies. I was supposed to have read the intro to Sit, Walk, Stand for tomorrow, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. I can't believe that even Borders couldn't order one for me. At least with Hastings, I'm not guaranteed it in 7 days, but it's bound to be cheaper. I must say though, the girl who checked it for me at Borders had some of the lightest blue eyes I've seen in a while. And there was something about the shape of them and her face that reminded me vaguely of Rory from GG. So no book, but cute girl, so it was something of a wash. *g*

I notice.

I consider myself to be at times rather observant. Well, at least for the things that catch my interest. I have so much crap going through my head at any given moment that I probably filter out a good number of things as well. But I do think that for certain things I give a good amount of attention to, I rather see things that tend to escape others. I'm not always sure if the conclusions I reach are true, as other people don't take the time to notice the same things I do, but I think I can be darn near insightful from time to time.

Now that I've pointed that out (I think it's funny how most of us in lj land tend to write to an audience anymore, as opposed to writing like one would normally do in a journal or diary; we even explain things, often without realizing what we're doing), I want to put down some of the things I've been noticing in my physics class.

My prof is a good example. He looks, for lack of a better description, rather like a harmless turtle with glasses. He's a bit round, and has the upper lip that sort of beaks like a turtle, and even his eyes are sort of turtlish. He's got a pretty good sense of humor and seems pretty easy going, but there's something more in there that I really doubt anyone else has been thinking about. I think that given the right fuse, that man has a terrible rage. I can't explain it exactly, and I sincerely doubt any of us students shall ever witness it, but there's something to him that sparks of a rather bad temper when lit. It intrigues me, because I am almost certain of this, yet I don't know why, other than it's something I've seen in his eyes.

Most of the other things I notice in class are a bit more...well, girl related. :P What can I say, I notice that which interests me, and cute girls tend to interest me. There's one girl in front of me who I tend to observe, but those are minor little things that don't really mean anything other than that I notice because she's cute. But the other girl, the one who sits on the other side of the room from me and in the same row, she fascinates me. In looks, she has a hint of Charisma Carpenter, although not too terribly much. That's the cute part, but the fascination comes from the way I've seen her look at things. She seems, to me anyway, to really be taking note of things, like she's actually noticing everything she looks at. She doesn't gaze particularly long or intensely on anything or anyone, but it seems somehow sharp, like she's actually noticing it all. I have to be careful when I glance at her in case she happens to glance in my direction as well, for it sometimes seems as if she knows exactly what's going on. It makes me wonder if I ever look that when I'm noticing things, or if it's something completely different. Maybe she just looks like she's more observant or something. Still, it's something that I really want to figure out. Either way, it's very compelling.
