school + textbooks
I think I have the heaviest Physics textbook known to man.
Young & Freedman's University Physics (with Modern Physics), 11th version.
According to amazon.co.uk the book's got 1714 pages! But that's excluding index and "stuff".
It's just huge.
I tried to read two chapters (~ 100 pages) during the weekend but ended up, well, not doing that.
It's impossible to try and "make it cozy" with a cup of tea and some candles, because the text is too small and the book too heavy to keep in your lap (unless, of course, you want to amputate your legs because of blood loss).
Despite this, I have finished the two online-assignments that were due today!
Now I've only got to do some nasty deriving and a big maths assignment and I'm done for this week. Only I'm never done, there's always more to do! I've got mechanics / force assignments that are late due and an exam in maths in four weeks.
Yippie-oh-yay!
But this is all that's bad with school!
Good stuff: I love the rest of it!
Currently campus is my "fav place in Stockholm", I've got some fun extra curricular things that I do and life's just.. nice.
I enjoy school and things surrounding it.
Royal Institute of Technology is more and better than I hoped it would be!
edited to add: And the headmaster is my God and so on!
I realised I came off as a bit psychotic. I'm not really.. Just really tired and tired of assignments in English. And my enormous textbook.
Has anyone else seen this book? Do you have any textbooks that are bigger/heavier?
