Animuthon day two~! One day remaining...

Was fun. Hung out with other friends who weren't there yesterday. One of them had a giant torus cat plush as a hat. Saw adorable Kyubey plush, but could not buy because capitalism lack of funds. I'll have to suffice with only a Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamancer plush. Perhaps, during the next week or so of vacation, I will learn to craft additional plushes. And also, because I had more of an overall plan and wandered around lost less, my legs and feet rate only a 3 or 4 on my personal pain scale instead of the whopping ~8 of yesterday.

I'm not busy for the this week and next week so yay

Then school starts up and I got all the classes I wanted.
I'm officially a high school senior woo

Schedual for those interested

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1- intro to engineering
2- principles of engineering
3- chemistry 2
4- physics
5- DC history
6- DC calculus
7- English 4

An interesting mix of the arts and science! Hope you enjoy it.

Arts?

Arts?

I've taken the liberty of colouring the arts green on your schedule and the sciences purple.

Calculus isn't science .-. It's literaly just math (and at my school partly trig)

Abd history and english aren't science either right? What makes physics an art? Am I taking this too literaly?

I think you might have mixed up my colour coding.

As for seriousness, I'm trying to[facetiously, for the record] imply that "All science is either physics or stamp collecting".

Still math isn't either of those two. Neither is history or english (ok english a bit)

[Bauglir]

Math's definitely an art. It's a rigorous one, but all the same it's a mechanism for expressing thoughts and all those fun things arts are supposed to do. It's certainly not a science; you don't have to do experiments or anything like that, because you get to define all your rules instead of trying to work out the ones the universe handed you. English, likewise (and is traditionally classified that way). Chemistry's a science, there's all that empiricism and stuff that defines the concept. I could see an argument for engineering being an art, actually. It's probably closer to that than a science, anyway. Although I'm not entirely sure it's a strictly dichotomous arrangement...

All I'm sayin' is, math is just applied natural language.

Heh, the earliest water-removal machines for mining were called 'Pumpenkünste' (translates literally as 'pump arts') in German.

English and history both fall under the (liberal) arts, Cryx, entirely _{(it's one of the reasons degrees in those fields are mostly junk :V)}. Math can fall under either, though from what I understand the more prominent degrees in the field are * of Arts -- Baug hit the relevant points there fairly solidly. Engineering can go both ways, too, though I want to say the lean in that field is towards * of Science. Point being, the only thing Arc really miscolored was chemistry, with a "maybe" on engineering.

... also, every time I see that XKCD, I always see this bearded critter in a toga way further off to the right wondering what the hell all these kids are doing on their lawn. _{Philosophy was here first, you whippersnappers. It built your field up from the ground! *rheumatic grumbling*}

[Graknorke]

I was under the impression that "philosopher" was just what people called scientists as well as anyone else kind of thinky before science was mainstream enough to get the distinction.

[Frumple]

Until natural philosophy matured enough to start branching into individual fields, yeah. Roughly speaking. There was a fair lot of overlap between the natural philosophers (nascent scientists) and the thinkier ones, though. You'd have folks doing logic and sciencey stuff hand in hand and whatnot.

[Orange Wizard]

Philosophy isn't philosophy.
