When Manana is too Soon: Kurt Kleiner

Tis selection was all about procrastinating. Procrastinating is everywhere and has been going on since even the great scientists of Rome when the empire was a great empire. Everyone procrastinates even without thinking. We all put things off and say we’ll do it later, or tomorrow, or next week, etc.. I even procrastinated doing this blog. I procrastinate on doing my math homework doing it right before class. I procrastinate doing many things just like everyone else does. Procrastination is inevitable, really. It is an evil evil thing that people can’t escape even if you try so desperately hard not to procrastinate you will end up doing so anyways. Sometimes, you even have to carefully monitor yourself every day just to make sure you don’t get too caught up in procrastinating. I’m pretty sure if there was no such thing, the world would probably be a better place in terms of economy. People put off doing their taxes and when it comes to the very last minuet they rush to do their taxes and make mistake after mistake. Think about how it might be if there were no mistakes. Money would probably be in a better place with everyone right now.

Entropy: K. C. Cole

this reading selection kind of caught my eye. Entropy has many different definition. I think that the closest definition that i had found was: a measure of the randomness of the microscopic constituents of a thermodynamic system. it basically means to me that stuff happens. that is what i personally got from the selection. Stuff happens and you have to deal with it. in the beginning the author states all these things that have gone wrong for them just in one day. then the author goes on to talk about how thing begin to age over time and this is how and why stuff happens. i really don't have much to say about this piece of writing but i did enjoy this writing piece.
