whitewhale went and saw Mr. Mandelbrot, for whom is named this thing, one of the most magnificent and wonderous objects in all of Mathematics:
I essentially aced my continuum mechanics midterm. I say "essentially" because I received only 40% credit for one of the questions despite having a manifestly correct response. Among my errors were referring to the existence of complex numbers and committing the cultural faux pas of using dirac notation instead of undersquiggles. Clearly I should have listened to
squarkz. I have written for redress of these grievences.
My advisor complimented me on my photo of the goodman street yard, which I have on the wall here. I ventured an explanation, that it was taken from the roof of my "other apartment." He became very confused, possibly even agitated, about why I would have such a thing as the loft. The best answer I can give is, "for fun," which was apparently not satisfactory.
