So, in case anyone was wondering if there are any useless things or people out there, ... there are. I had one of each tonight. Number one on my list of useless things is the print option for Matlab. Evidently, if you don't want your graphs to print out, just go to file and click on print. This is especially useful when you have a homework assignment that you have to print graphs for. It's also really great the way the computers are on the fourth floor and the printer is in the basement.
If Matlab's print option doesn't meet all your printing needs, there's more. If you ever want the guy that works in the lab to sit at his desk and not do anything, just ask him if he can help you print something out. He's really good at not getting up and doing anything useful. So, there you have it. Two especially useless things.
The evening wasn't a complete loss. After stopping to get a delicious milk shake at steak and shake on the way home, it's now 12:30am and I get to do the homework assignment again. This time I get use my own math program, Maple, which is (when it comes to printing options) infinitely better than lousy Matlab. Maple is a fabulous program and I would definately recommend it. My printer is similar to the ones on campus. The only feature that my printer has that the ones on campus don't have is the PRINT option. You'd be surprised how often that comes in handy.
Anyway, I'm a little bitter, but fortunately I'm getting better at ignoring lots and lots of things.

Wow. That is the maddest I think I've ever seen you. Except maybe when Emily was operating the train set and kept slowing down around that one stretch.
Also, you crack me up every time with the way every entry on your blog, practically, you recommend whatever you are talking about. Brilliant.
