i woke up today at a quarter to twelve and mopped around the house like some ghost. then i went to turn on the computer to play *drum roll*....
runescape!
haha much to my dad's annoyance.
so after a while, crystal started talking to me on
msn about humanities
hw.
ahah she was freaking out
cuz she couldn't find the stuff on
edulearn. then i started freaking out
cuz MY NEW FT IS MAKING US PAY FOR EVERY PIECE OF HOMEWORK WE DON'T HAND UP! then we were talking about evil teachers and laughing about silly puns:

HAHAHAso anyways, just in case, i decided to check my account out in case the homework was still there. and while i was searching through the page, i saw the words "HEAVENLY MATHEMATICS" and i was like "
hah?" i showed it to crystal and she was wondering why she didn't have it on her account.
hahaha in any case it's seriously stupid. the introduction was hilarious.
The goal of this course is to study astronomy in a cultural context.
We will look at questions like:
- How is the date of Chinese New Year determined?
- Why do the Muslim and Chinese months start on different days?
- Will the Moon ever look like it does on the Singapore flag?
- What date of the year is the earliest sunrise in Singapore?
- How did ancient sailors navigate?
After taking this course you will become conscious of the motion of the Sun and the Moon and notice and question things you have earlier taken for granted. You will appreciate mankind's struggle through the ages and throughout the world to understand the mathematics of the heavens.
wow. ultimate enlightenment ya'll! mathematics of the heavens! and will the moon ever look like it does on the singapore flag? well, i dunnoe. the text size gave me a headache so i didnt bother reading it! yay! it will forever remain a mystery.... unless you have it on your edulearn and decide to read it :)
and about appreciating mankind's struggle through the ages.... all i understand about the ages is that men way back then lived up to a max of 35, 40 if he was lucky. and all the kings and queens had sadistic tendencies and enjoyed chopping off peoples heads so much, that they discovered more sadistic ways of killing people! whee!
okay i'm making no sense. i shall attempt to do 10 mathematical questions in the time span of one hour! wish me luck!
