Timeline

For my final project, I have been reading the book Timeline. I am more than 3/4 of the way done with it, and I am thoroughly pleased that I picked this novel. Upon first starting it, I wasn't sure if I had made the right choice, but it seems that I can't put the book down. I was very surprised that the idea expressed, quantum mechanics/chemistry, is a topic that Dr. Drolet just talked about in my Chemistry 113 classroom. He himself even mentioned the idea of traveling. I think that novel in that it doesn't feel like a science book, as even Jurassic Park did. I think that there is a lot more history, and a plot, that makes the novel an easier read. I am excited to see what happens, though slightly disappointed a review I read before reading the actual novel gave away a major point of the plot. I am still excited to see the results for myself though. I think that the paper will be easier to write than I thought, and if not, I have already asked Dr. Drolet for help if I get in a bind (which I'm crossing my fingers I won't). I am anxious for the project as well. I felt a little bad that I didn't ask Sarah to work with me, but it seemed as though she wanted to work alone (then again, I never did ask...) BUT I am really excited to do the project with Kevin and Derek, after Kevin asked me to be with them. I get a kick out of the two of them, and I think that it will be fun to do a project together. I think that we are going to possibly do a movie, though I'm not entirely sure. I hope that it is more fun than stressful and turns out good!
