Why does my college try to make my life miserable?
So this morning I dragged myself out of bed to go to my 8:30 class, Calculus. I took calc last year so I go to this class as a replacement to reading out of my very expesive textbook so its not that hard or anything. But anyway it has only really been in the 60s and maybe it got into the fifties temerature wise but this morning it decided that it wanted to be 37 degrees out so it was a little chilly and I put on a scarf but as I only had to walk to one building and then quickly walk to physics after that it didn't seem that bad because it warms up quickly here. But little did I know that the good people at Carnegie Mellon would decide that it seemed necessary to air condition my lecture hall when it was almost freezing outside anyway. And its not like there were a lot of people in there producing body heat or anything because the majority of my calculus class has decided that bed is a better place to be then calculus class since it is review for most of us anyway. So out of a class of around 300 or so only about 40 people actually show up. This leaves those of us who have decided to go to class sitting in a classroom that is about 20 degrees and the only people who actually have coats are the people from Texas or Florida or Malaysia where they have never experienced these horrid temperatures of 40 degrees. It also left me sitting there freezing cold and starving because I didn't eat breakfast because that would require getting up earlier. So I spent the better part of an hour staring at calculus equations while I tried to warm up my whole body with the pink scarf that I brought to class that day just as a precaution for the temperature outside.
Anyway after I left calc as soon as he started to stop talking, I walked outside in the much warmer temperature of 40 degrees and went to Physics. My normally amuzing Physics professer, Helmut(yes someone named their child Helmut), has decided that he needed to go to a conference outside of the country for a week and left us with a boring professer who often brings a plastic yellow hippo to swing around his head as a demonstration of circular motion. So after nearly freezing to death in Calc I am sitting there trying to take notes about the equations used to determine a yellow plastic hippo's orbit about the sun or whatever he was talking about and I am falling asleep. Like I literally couldn't keep my eyes open. I would normally just fall asleep but I am always worried that I will snore or drool or something else horrible like that in front of 250 strangers. Anyway after the final description of yellow plastic hippo apparent weight on the moon I was finally allowed to leave and go find some food. I also think a much better topic to be discussing in physics is the phenomenon of can't keep your eyes open tiredness and then suddenly after walking out of the room where yellow plastic hippos are being discussed I am completley awake.
