I had quite a long day today. So long in fact that when I was talking to a friend this evening that I forgot that I had gone to class this morning. So, I started the day by sleeping through my alarm and having to rush to get to my swim workout. I had Friday morning breakfast at the cafe and a 3 hour seminar on disability and communication. It was interesting and a bit better than last weeks but most of my class is so fed up with the seminars that they have stopped coming. After class I met with my community group to finalize work for the weekend. This afternoon Kat and I strolled around town doing errands because we decided that walking 4 miles was better than riding up the hill. I spent the evening finishing the last of the business ethics homework for this semester and taking my final. It was definitely a good class.
I got a message from a friend during my exam that I look at after I finished. It completely blew my mind and I am extremely confuse so let me share. 1billion in Australia is not the same as 1 billion in the US. In the US it is 1,000 million. Here it is 1million million. Well depending on who you talk to. It gets more confusing because some people use the American method and other people use the other method. Oh my! I had almost gotten myself straightened out when my friend introduced me to a quintillion googolplex which is 10^33x 1google^(googol) it is a number so big that writing it out would cover the known universe. Crazy!!!
