{not crazy}

So I just watched {proof}. It was a very good movie that brought up some stuff worth thinking a little about.

First off, dude and chick were both crazy. It made me think way back to the Dark Days of my undergrad -- there was at least a year there were I was fairly sure I was going crazy. But then at the same time I was convinced that I couldn't be crazy because crazy people think they're sane. Admitting to it disproves it, kind of one of those Catch 22's we've all heard so much about. Anyway, crazy or no, the Dark Days taught the lot of us one thing if nothing else: Sleep deprivation is bad for you. Dreaming in Excel or about dating gamma functions, trying to determine the complex conjugate of the alarm clock to find out if the bread maker's done, writing four qlabs and only being conscious for two of them... none of this is healthy.

One of the other interesting points brought up was how creative minds do their best work by their mid-twenties. In that case, I'm already on my way out and arguably the best work I've done was to move out of Ohio. Stowe's wall says the truly educated never graduate. In that case, maybe I shouldn't have finished my senior project after all. Oh well, at least when I enter the work force next year, I'll have summers off. Two and a half months to get the crazy back out of my system. There's always that to look forward to.
