"It's saturday, it's a saturday.... saturday it's a saturday!"

A well deserved day of rest after a gruesome 2 weeks of studying for exams. Hardly seems worth it. Stats was at best a B. An A if the TA's like me... or if they're blind. They don't even know my name tho. Shit! I should've introduced myself. Management was a C+... i don't know why i think Stats is going to be a B then!! It probably won't be. Academically, this summer has not gone according to plan. I suppose there's always next term. I'm gonna have to turn things around. I'm doing aright with soccer so far; 4 goals in 3 games. 1 more and I can say I achieved my goal. Hope I score tomorrow and keep up the streak. I can tell my grand kids years from now about back in the day when their grandpa used to score every time he stepped on the pitch. Speaking of soccer, I've really gotta check out one of these World Tour games. Anybody want to go to boston next thursday? What else? I don't even remember now; i've forgot all of my long-term goals for the summer. The only concepts that really carry any weight anymore is today and tomorrow. I guess it's not really all that bad.

A question has been jumping around in my head these last few weeks concerning the cosmos. Is the universe finite or infinite? We know the universe is expanding because of the growing distances between stars and galaxies and such, but still there's a basic idea that i feel is unresolved: If the universe is finite, it must have an end-point or boundary of some sort. If that's true, and the universe is expanding, what is it expanding towards? In other words, what is on the other side of the universal wall? Nothingness and empty space seem to be the only permissable answers, but even then you could ask, "If the universe which is made up of space is expanding into space, then is it really expanding? Seems to me as though all of the matter in the observable universe is simply moving out towards unchartered space. The very fact that the universe can and will expand until the point where the density of the universe reaches a critical value, causing it to contract again, sort of asserts that the universe must be infinitely big. Seems like there's infinite room for expansion. I should stop there, I don't even know why I care about that stuff anymore. Organizational expansion, that's what's important right? Right?!?!? Well until August 22nd it is!

I should get back to work. Don't wanna let my group down.
