The Higgs Boson. The God-Particle. The (actual) answer to life the universe and everything. As I am, undoubtedly, very late in rambling to my heart's content on this amazing particle, I'll just have to shorten the entire mess to five words - 'live long and prosper, Boson.'
Anyway, it's been a long and hard last month. I've had an onslaught of school work, a barrage of revisions on a <cough cough> debate, a cascade of events to peer quizzically at and a rampage of new topics in school. Frankly, I think the last is the most daunting.
One of the biggest shocks is definitely chemistry. Organic chemistry has officially arrived, but this rainy season doesn't have a discernible weather pattern. It's astonishing just how much can actually be done in forty two minutes of a chemistry class. (Hold on...forty-two?)
I think after all I've learned and relearned in the last few days, confusing emotions 'argon', leaving behind only a strong desire to wash my brain in the kitchen zinc. Maybe that's why I renamed my iPhone to 'Titanic' and watched it sync. Honestly, the rumors must be true - when you find confused chemistry students, you have no option but to barium.
Punny jokes aside, I recently had an enlightening conversation with a friend of mine. After idle talk, the most intriguing phrase happened to pop up in conversation - 'Pass the lasagna'. Of course, the thought of multi-layered thick cheesy Italian cuisine instantly wiggles its fingers tauntingly at my imaginative senses, effectively rendering them helpless, but the philosophical aspect of the words is almost as pleasing.
The fact that despite how much goes on life, at any moment we choose to look at, amazingly, there is still time to care about preciously small things like passing over a dish of lasagna (cue drool). Heartwarming; frankly, quite relieving.
This large serving of a dollop of philosophy may certainly be a surprise on many a plate, but then again, what's the dark knight for if not for introspection and enlightenment? In fact, so strong is this empathy that I even considered staying up even later to find out where the sun went. But then it dawned on me.
