man
I went to my discussion section and realized that I have no friends in this class. That's why it sucks so much. I should have made friends.
Statics.
Got a statics discussion in half an hour, going to study statics during the discussion and for the rest of the day.
Crack of Noon
Woke up at the crack of noon today, my roommate is getting high I hope he doesn't distract me. I've got a lot of negative energy right now. Hopefully if I can get some work done it will diminish. If I can't work here I will go to my GSI s office.

Studying
I'm going to learn all of Ochem, Thermo, Materials and Statics by the time my finals arrive. My finals are on 5/11, 5/12 and 5/13. That means I am going to learn everything by 5/9. Right now it is 7:46 p.m., 4/16. That gives me three weeks to learn all of this. I am going to do it. I am writing this to let the world know how amazing I am.

Jake's Upbringing
Seagulls are greedy animals, but they are honest. Most of their vices have to do with dishonesty and sexuality. Seagulls honored family above everything. Murder was out of the question. Stealing was okay, as long as you were honest about it. Coveting was okay.
The reason Jake was talking to his pastor was because he insulted them, and they brought him in.

Write about something really controversial and rebellious. Make sure you have evidence for your claims.

thats what i wanna do i just dont know what it should be!
Jim didn't know what kind of controversy a seagull could go through, but it probably wasn't much. Two years ago, the kid would be in eleventh grade right now. Jim wondered if he was still writing stories. About seagulls, maybe. Maybe by now he had written a whole seagull world, and it all started with this one controversial seagull story, about how the local seagull community had isolated Jake the seagull for having sex with the seagull pastor's daughter. Or maybe Jake had alienated himself, because he didn't want to face the consequences of his actions. Maybe Jake left without knowing whether he had gotten her pregnant, wondered whether there was a seagull baby that he would never father. He wondered if the seagull would grow up, wondering why all the other seagulls had fathers, but not him. Maybe he'll find a friend whose father was dead, and they would know how the other felt.
Jim wondered whether there was a word for "baby seagull." He looked it up. He didn't find an answer, but a passage on Wikipedia caught his eye.
Gulls—the larger species in particular—are resourceful, inquisitive and intelligent[4] birds, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure. For example, many gull colonies display mobbing behaviour, attacking and harassing would-be predators and other intruders.[5] Certain species (e.g. the Herring Gull) have exhibited tool use behaviour, using pieces of bread as bait with which to catch goldfish, for example.[6] Many species of gull have learned to coexist successfully with humans and have thrived in human habitats.[7] Others rely on kleptoparasitism to get their food. Gulls have been observed preying on live whales, landing on the whale as it surfaces to peck out pieces of flesh.[8]
He wondered what the gulls would think of humans. Would the gulls think of them as gods? Is that what the pastor taught? Jim didn't think so. But maybe. How would you feel about a race of giants that lived amongst you, capable in every way except flight. He wondered if the humans were mysterious to the seagulls; a God would, after all, be mysterious. Humans would be the wise sage culture to the gulls, he decided. Humans would be the keepers of some great secret that no gull could know about, the secret to how they got so tall and strong and intelligent. Maybe they had to sell their wings to get there.
Maybe Jake would be the one, alienated by his people, to find a human that he could share with. Like his son that he never met, sharing with a friend the experience of having no father, he would share with this man the experience of isolation. Maybe this man was isolated for the opposite reason, because he believed in God when nobody else did. Maybe he refused to have sex. That would create tension between him and the gull.
I'm going down the wrong path, Jim thought. Obviously the man would have to be isolated for the same reason as the gull for them to be friendly. The man could be isolated for not believing in God, for being the prodigal son who ran away from the Church. He would own a Bible, in his closet, that he had forgotten about. The seagull would find out about it, and ask why so many people read this book. The seagull would be interested, because it is the book no seagull has ever read, the book that contains the mysteries of the humans. And what the humans believe in, what they spend their time studying, the richest and wisest of them.
The seagull would be interested in shipbuilding. The seagull would want to learn about Docks, and how they were built, and how he could get food from them. And how the humans used them to bond with the ocean. No seagull could travel on the ocean for any great distance, unless it was on a ship. Maybe someday the humans could built a flying ship.
The seagull would hear stories, of other places, and other times. He would want to see these places, naturally. And he would want to bring his human friend, naturally. Maybe he would help him design a flying ship. Or maybe they would just go on their adventure.
Maybe they would learn about the Bible together. Maybe they would sneak into the cathedral, into the priest's room. Where all the volumes of Scripture were laid. Where all the gold was, and the precious artifacts.
Jim looked at the browser window of the original Yahoo! Answers page. Jim wanted to make this story, this silly story about seagulls, prompted by a silly question, a rebellious seagull, a seagull who would never leave him. He wondered what the human friend's name should be. Something told him that "Jim" would be a good name.
Jim and Jake, who knows what will happen.
