I was up until 2 last night working on my physics assignment - it's not so much that it was hard, more that I had yet to solidify a lot of the concepts involved in the questions. I'm on my way to becoming a sixth-rate mathematician, but physics is helped along so greatly by an intuitive grasp of math, and this combined with the lightning speed of ( Read more... )

Awful Man Offers Witty, Acerbic Take On Everything He Sees - The OnionI first read this article a while ago and remarked on the character's personal resemblance. But it wasn't until last night that I realized something more profound ( Read more... )

I totally rocked my math test this morning. I also had the rare experience of actually understanding and having a comfort level with everything that was presented in the second half of the class (after the test). I can do this! Never let yourself be told that you can't do math - if lazy and impatient people like me can do it, you can too ( Read more... )

I finally figured out what those broader implications were.

Well, I had my chemistry midterm tonight. I've been telling everybody who cares to hear that I think I rocked it. Now, I dunno what to compare it to. This course can be summed up as: "Grade 11 and Grade 12 chemistry in eight weeks." I'd never before taken chemistry ( Read more... )

Reconstituted from notes written in my chemistry binderI wore too much scented crap to chemistry class (OMG the irony) and since the room was so staid and stuffy, it got to be extremely awkward. I did manufacture some goodwill, though, mostly in picking good moments to speak out. I'd written down the formulae representing a bunch of chemical names ( Read more... )
