^If he's on something, it's probably something like DMT.

In other news, my suitemate is seriously starting to freak me out. He's been on this philosophical bent recently, and I think it's gotten out of hand. He's just spent the last 20 minutes explaining to me his theories of how aliens created the universe, that time is a logarithmic spiral of light and darkness, that he can't sleep at night unless he's surrounded by light to keep the evil/aliens away, and apparently that I'm the God of Astronomy (or, at least he's offered to make me the God of Astronomy). Also something about the having the right person to rule the world and Hitler being sent from Hell, which is in the future (or possibly the past, I'm having trouble following him) . So, yeah. It's a bit disconcerting. I'm not sure how safe it is to sleep here. Definitely locking my door, and also inquiring with the girlfriend if I can spend some time over at her place. He's either on drugs or developing a mental illness. I assume he's around 20 years old, which is about the time a couple of illnesses develop ( schizophrenia, etc).

So the aforementioned suitemate just admitted to smoking some pot in the last week. While I think he's sober at this point (it is Finals week, after all), this could explain an awful lot about the "revelations" he's been having.
Which just goes to show, don't do pot, kids. It can mess you up.

^Pot by itself won't do anything like that, unless he was high when he told you, and if he was /that/ high, you would have smelled it.

^Pot by itself won't do anything like that, unless he was high when he told you, and if he was /that/ high, you would have smelled it. What I think has happened is that last weekend he did pot, which, combined with sleep deprivation (it being Finals week and all), lead to some "profound insights", which make coherent sense to him, but not to anybody else. Plus, a lot of the ideas he's been talking about -archetypes, symbolism, pantheism - are stuff he's been reading about recently, it's just that they all kind of got mashed together in his head while he was high (or so I'm guessing). Anyhow, he's apparently going to tell his parents all about his revelations after school's over, so I figure the problem will probably resolve itself.

^I had a good friend come out of a three-day pot binge with "Everything is Relative" written on his door, so I guess that would explain it.

I guess it depends on how seriously he takes all this stuff - was it just something he thought of while high and is just relating it to you, or does he honestly believe it? I personally never did pot, but I had friends who did in college. They never said anything that far out to me either while they were high or afterwards, and if they would tell anyone, it would be me because I tend to be "out there" compared to a lot of people. While I'm not saying he should be shipped off to the nearest mental facility, drug experimentation is a self-medicating way to deal with mental illness. If he continued to have sleep deprivation aside from finals, that's another sign. All drug use aside, I would have some serious concerns if I were a friend or parent. If it cleared up with regular sleep patterns, exercise, and eating healthy, then all would be well - otherwise....

Did you take it too? The non-calculator Mult. Choice was easy and I feel good about it but everything else (calculator mult. choice and free response) was awful.
