Absorbing the Wikipedia

April 7th, 2007 @ 11:44 PM

Occasionally when I’m bored, I’ll search for something on Wikipedia. Probably about 50-60% of the time, there will be a link in whatever article I’m reading that intrigues me, so I’ll open it up into a new tab. This chain will continue until I’ve spent anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour reading through Wikipedia pages, and I’ll usually end up nowhere close to the realm/subject that I started reading about. Usually I don’t ever come away with any additional useful knowledge, but instead just have one less hour to do other things (or in some cases, be bored).

Less than three weeks from now I’ll be done with school for the year. Aside from my exams, there’s really nothing left for me to worry about that’s school related. No more projects, no more papers, and no other big reading assignments (not that I was really ever graded on those anyway). Two weeks from tomorrow is the UTD Athletics banquet which I’ll probably go to since I’m eligible for an award/certificate. I really don’t know if I’ll do baseball at UTD again next year or not. I’d do HP in a heartbeat if asked, but I just fell like I could be making a better use of my time.
