"science" and the art of filing
I certainly feel more educated today; I learned what the Science of Hadith is basically about.
I have a hard time believing in the sort of research done by any religious institution as scientific in the traditional sense of the word. In statistics, it is all about unbiased data, how one can create a study that is more and more unbiased. Of course, there can never be 100% unbias, there are way too many factors that contribute.
In the case of Islam, they already have this prophet up on a pedestal and the people conducting this research strongly want to believe in him. Therefore, this can be connected with the theoretical physics idea that what you want to see is generally what you will see.
John Gribbin writes in his book, In Search of Schroedinger's Cat: Quantum Physics and Reality that,"In the world in which we live, what you see is what you get, there are no hidden variables, God doesn't play dice and everything is real."
So, I guess, I have come around in writing this to again prove that indeed, even these religious research can be scientific and indirectly, physics. Physics is defined as the science of knowing how the world works. With such a broad definition, it can be said to contribute to knowing how relationships work as well as the mechanics that everyone remembers from Newton in high school.

I am still filing stupid frat stuff at work.
Today, I need NPR to keep me awake....seriously, I don't know how many more frat suspensions,fights, parties etc I can read about. It's like a broken record...i swear.:) Usually, classical music would put me to sleep...now it's keeping me awake.
This afternoon, I am going to get training for my other campus job that starts in a couple of weeks.
For 2 hours a day, 4 days a week, for 6 weeks, I will be testing incoming freshman over the level of german course they should be placed in.
Hoffenlich, werde es Spass machen!
I am very excited about this job. I think I will have a blast working with the german department.
A year ago, I didn't even want to take german, but now, I am a german minor, and possibly thinking about upgrading that to a german major. I really love foreign language. I also hope to take some french, if I can fit it into my schedule during my undergraduate years.
A language I would really like to learn is Gaelic. I know it is considered a dying language, but it sounds so beautiful to me.
