You know what's just slightly worse than listening to good music? Reading good quotes. I hate the inspirational ones, though, and prefer the ones with wit, or that illustrate a "coincidence" in the world (i.e. I invented the wireless extension cord - Mark Twain). Also:

Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand.

—Kurt Vonnegut (Remember him?)

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

—Albert Einstein

A completely innocent man should have nothing to fear.

—Unknown. If this hasn't been said before, then I said it first.

So... homework:

1. Information report due Thursday

-500-750 words

-At least 3 cited sources, from different mediums

2. Science title page due Tomorrow

3. Science onion skin questions due Tomorrow

4. Math package due Wednesday

5. Bach listening activity due Wednesday
