"...No one would care at all. " That's how I feel about my blogs...

AP exams are getting closer, guys, and there's nothing we can do to stop it...*sigh* It's only been a couple weeks into the quarter, but it feels like it's been months. Good thing it hasn't, because a lot of my grades are circling the drain right now. Ugh. Anyway...

So to relieve some stress, I listen to music. Mainly from Youtube, but sometimes I bust out my small collection of CDs and listen to songs I used to love so much. I still like them, but it's interesting to see how my taste in music changed over the years. It's also interesting that one year I'm listening to Beyonce, and the next I'm OBSESSED with My Chemical Romance and AFI. Too bad I don't have any CDs of my newer obsessions, or my wall would be COVERED in Korean and Japanese stuff. Hehe, I guess that'll wait for college life.

Here's the front of one of my AFI CDs (Crash Love). I really love their song, "Beautiful Thieves" from this album, although lots of people hate how the band changed for this CD. It's slightly reflective due to the smooth nature of both the paint job and the disc itself.Here's the more Physics-relevant back. We studied slits last section, and how the fringe pattern still remains even with many slits. The CD is showing my reflection rather than the other side because the CD on the other side is covered with the design. It also makes it easier to notice when scratches form, which would disrupt the slits and (when left too long to become deeper) make the data inscribed unreadable. The slits also cause prism effect on parts of the CD because the light would be refracted differently depending on where the light hit. That's basically how players can read the info on the CD.

This week is Family Fair! Four real days, guys. Unless you count Pearl Harbor as one, too. T_T One last test for Phys, too, so get studying!

Yay for the malasadas soon to be in my mouth! Boo for heavily weighted scores!
