With college coming soon, I've actually been thinking about college and how much money everything's going to cost. Take food, for example. When I think of the cost of living, I don't even think to factor in food. But the university's meal plans run in the thousands of dollars per semester. That's nothing to sneeze at. Then there are the textbooks, which may not actually be worth their weight in gold but are usually sold as such. Not to mention housing, which is also thousands per semester, even if you're living in a room that would, if you were an animal, outrage PETA.

That's why I think it helps to work a summer job before college, and that's why I think I need an another job. Yeah, I have a job, but I barely make minimum wage working less than one full day a week. Actually, after taxes and Social Security and stuff, I earn less than the minimum wage. I'd estimate that in the past month of working, I've bought about one textbook. And I work infrequently because my work is too far away. This cannot continue. Unfortunately, upcoming travel plans mean that I can't apply for a job now if they're going to contact me next week, and I can't work next week if they want me to. I'm still stuck in a rut.

I guess I should start looking for jobs within walking distance of my house (and there should be a few). The supermarket is always an option as I think it's a teenage rite of passage to bag groceries, but I'm not keen on going through all the training nonsense and wearing a funny name tag and uniform. I just want to do stuff and get paid for it; I'd only have the job for about a month, anyway. I think I'll go around and look for a job right after I post this. I doubt I'll find anything, but it's worth a try. I need the money. Yes, I do.

Greasemonkey users, behold my latest user script: MySpace Birthdays on Homepage. How many people here use Greasemonkey and have a MySpace? I don't know, but just in case there's anyone, I just wanted to announce that.

"Old Folks at Home" has long been Florida's state song, but that is soon going to change. Even though the lyrics usually sung today are less racially offensive than the originals, the original lyrics are still offensive. Something had to be done. Just Sing, Florida! is the name of the contest that will determine a new state song. The contest runs through October 1, but one question remains: will the new state song be as catchy as the current one? Come on. Let me start you out: Waaay down upon the Swaaneeeee Riverr... And there you go. You will have it in your head all day.

Graham's number is the largest number that has ever been seriously used in a mathematical proof. How big is it? It's described as the 64th number in a particular sequence which grows very rapidly. The first number in the sequence is greater than the number of atoms in the universe. You couldn't write every digit of Graham's number even if you had the whole universe as a piece of paper. It's a big number.
