Rant
Oh my God, I'm so PISSED OFF. I was studying chemistry and physics again for 5 or 6 hours (I also had a night shift, studied more physics between 2 and 3:30 am this night). First I was frustrated because the nomenclature for chemical compounds is confusing shit >.< Why do people always have to make things so damn complicated just to sound cool and smart? It's all one big ridiculous show. This is what I have always hated about science... it's about making simple things sound complicated for your own status as an "intellectual".
Second: I was trying to solve a problem in physics which requires Integrals. The formula in my script is:
Ws = 1/V (Integral)F*dl(/Integral)
Get it? Me neither. In the solutions I saw him use ONLY Ws = (Integral)F*dl(/Integral) ... so it pissed me off why that jerk is incapable of wording his goddamn sentences and formulas in a more comprehensible way. Honestly, most things are written overly complicated... just like his calculations: Mine are usually FAR simpler than his "solutions".
Anyway, I tried to understand the integrals, but I didn't. And I remember asking him questions about other things before, and he'd always just tell me that I should "already know this".... Coming to integrals: If I had asked him how this worked, he'd most likely give me the same answer >.< and I CAN use integrals, I just have no fucking idea what differentiating/integrating actually DOES. I know that the first is the opposite of the latter, yes, but what does it mean? I was told it's something about depicting "changes" in a graph... whatever that means. Why is no teacher capable of finally explaining what it means in a SIMPLE way?! It's like asking in a maths forum: I yet have to find a maths forum where people give you answers you can UNDERSTAND. They just write a whole paragraph of shit in a complicated way - AGAIN. What for? Honestly, what do these retards think? Why would somebody ask a question in a maths forum? Because they're so great in maths any way? YES! That must be it! So yes, go ahead and write something super complicated :)
But that's off-topic again. It makes me angry if teachers and professors, who are PAID to explain things to their students, refuse to answer questions >.< I swear, next time somebody refuses to answer a question of mine, I'll tear them apart. This isn't what it should be like... and what pisses me off even more is that I will have a goddamn maths paper soon. You have no idea how much time I have invested into maths... I have a professor whose words are incredibly difficult to understand. No single soul in the lecture hall gets what he's on about. We'd also have a maths test every week - and even though I studied hard and more or less could solve the course work, I failed almost every second test because his tests are just so diffusely written.
The first test was simple. Honestly, it was. It was something like:
x/180 +4 = 9 y*3 +5 = 2
Not exactly that, but you get the idea. BUT it said "[...] The solution is the product of both interim solutions." Something like that, just more complicated. Most people failed that test (I, thank God, got what he was on about in the last minute)... it's always like this. I worked so fucking hard x.x I really did. But I am thinking about just retaking that goddamn course again. This will mean having to do all this shit AGAIN. This year I couldn't do lots of cool things because of maths :/ The course is on tuesday evenings and many cool events happened on be on tuesday evenings... just like a REALLY cool optional lecture I couldn't attend because of maths. It's so frustrating me... you work really hard, hardly ever get good results and then you do it all again? I think I could pass this course, but I don't want a C or a D in it... I don't want maths to lower the value of my degree x.x I already am overworked because of chemistry and physics, I can't possibly study maths now as well. I do have limits as well.
