I have no overly inspirational or thoughtful insights to share today. I have been racking my brain and nothing seems even remotely good enough to elaborate on. So I will simply share something odd that happened to me this morning. Due to my new found ability to sleep well, I typically wake up before my alarm clock goes off. This morning I woke up at 5:30 and didn't need to get up until 6, so I simply dozed because I am NOT a morning person.
Somewhere between wakefulness and dreaming my mind was lingering, when I realized something wonderful. I had been working on a physics problem for my class and had not been able to successfully get the right answer. It had these two variables listed with a slash between them and it said it was equal to this number and I suddenly it clicked that while I was thinking of the slash as an and/or sign, it was actually a fraction! And those two variables over each other were in fact another value that was the key to answering the problem. This was something we had gone over in class just the day before and I hadn't been able to make the connection. My eyes popped open and I jumped out of bed and ran to get my physics books to try and work out the problem. What I want to know is how my mind ended up on physics while I was half asleep and how I was able to make a connection like that? The subconscious is an amazing thing.
