Sunrise resembling a Sunset

It's 1212, Tuesday. 850am. Nice day, today. Cold, dreary.
But not so much as to make one uncomfortable. Just enough to
make you feel alive. The sky seems different. I saw the sun
on the way to class, and for a moment I had the thought that
it was late in the afternoon, near sunset. Instead of
sunrise. Something about the colour, made me think that.

I was always told that the differences in a sunset and
sunrise have to do with optical illusions. Something to do
with how the eye is more adjusted to the light during the
day, so the colours of the light seem darker towards the end
of the day. But, later, I was told that the colour of the
light towards the end of the day has more to do with the
angle in which the light approaches you, along with the
scattering or absorption of certain frequencies in the
light. But if that were true, that would contradict the
initial explanation I was told. On the other hand, if the
first explanation was true, that would contradict the second
one.

I don't know which is which, since both were told to me by
academic institutions. All I can say is that school sucks.

This morning was filled with all manner of technical
thoughts. Which, is not usually characteristic of me. I
thought of MD5 hashes, calculating least amount of code
error using a nodes on a tree, and a more efficient way to
design a system that handles ... "reality." A simulation
which handles reality, on different layers. I figure, I need
at least one layer to handle position in time space. But,
I'll probably need others.

Anyway.

This week is exam week, and my first exam is today. I don't
fear it in anyway, since I'm rather confident I can do well.
Or maybe, I just don't care.

The reality that my academic semester is coming to an end
brings both a sense of relief as well as a sense of guilt.
Guilt, in that, I should be doing more ... but what more
should I be doing? Relief, well, that's obvious.

I'm going to try to do two things this next month and a
half. I'm going to try to do more technical projects. I'm
going to try to spend an hour a day, if not more, trying to
complete projects and expanding my knowledge.

The other thing is, I'm going to try to broaden my cooking
skills. I have a few nice recipes I've thought about that I
think would do well. Oh, maybe I can use that recipe program.

Hell, even I wouldn't use that thing; And I'm the one who
wrote a majority of it.

Maybe. We'll see. I can try to reconstruct it a bit. Make it
more useful. Maybe that will be my next project ...

Anyway, there isn't much more to say. I wish I had more
thought provoking or interesting things to say, but ... I
don't.
