new semester’s eve

Tomorrow marks the official beginning of my last semester as an undergraduate. Yay!

As for today, we shall skip the pleasantries and get straight to the word of the day: quotidian. Quotidian is an adjective which refers to something that is found in the course of ordinary events; that which is ordinary or commonplace.

This day has been quotidian in every way.

Although I did have a conversation that resulted in some food for thought…

Husband and I were discussing computers and microchips and transistors. Before long the conversation had moved to digital vs. analog computing. The interesting conclusions reached were (1) I am an analog computer, and (2) digital technology represents one of those revolutions that will forever change the way humans exist.

Both of these ideas demand further consideration and investigation.
