pretty_cynicalI re-watched this weeks' episode of Eureka last night in between Olympic events, and I didn't mention in my last post that CARTER MADE UP A SONG TO REMEMBER THE EQUATION. That got me excited and thinking how when my freshman algebra teacher taught us the quadratic formula, we memorized it to the tune of the Notre Dame fight song; so when I had to use it for my summer math class, I made a fool of myself by singing the song.
So that was the only "funny" part of the episode; that and the Doctor Who reference. THe rest was just terribly heartbreaking.
Also, did anyone notice the similarities to Jim&Pam in "Casino Night"? BECAUSE THEY WERE SO THERE. And that is why I'm using this icon *points*

Watched the Olympic Gymnastics Gala Exhibition on NBC last night - all 10 minutes of it. It goes on for a few hours and showcases all the gymnasts, but all they showed were the American gymnasts. EPIC FAIL, NBC. I absolutely loved the Gala from Athens, because they had it on OnDemand in the weeks leading up to Beijing. (Apparently the 10-minute clip wasn't the whole thing either, just a montage.) The sad part about this is that I can't find video of the entire gala ANYWHERE; NBC only has video of what they showed last night. I guess Track&Field finals FROM 2 NIGHTS AGO are more important than a bunch of foreigners in pretty costumes.
Closing Ceremonies on Sunday, then NBC goes back to whatever they had before the Olympics. As long as they show more promos for The Office (WHICH PREMIERES IN A MONTH), then I'm okay.

I had my last summer math class today, sold my book back and am now $46 richer. The final is on Monday; and despite what the instructor says about it being difficult, I think I'll do okay because I've done relatively well on all my exams. We'll see. After that, I have to start preparing for Fall semester, which starts next Wednesday! One week of vacation, boo.
