Captain's blog, stardate 8172.4...
Well, I finally remembered that I'm supposed to be updating this blog. I guess that's a good start. If I had anything to say, that would be an even better start. Let's see what we've got.
Had a physics test on Monday. Had a math test on Wednesday. Had two problem sets and an English paper due today. Have a chemistry test on Monday. Have lesson plans to come up with for the SAT prep class I'm teaching. How the heck one is supposed to teach reading comprehension I have no idea. Guess I'll be figuring that out pretty quickly.
If I keep up this style of posting I'll have to invent a new label, Whining. I hope it doesn't come to that because nobody wants to hear me complain about how college is too hard and all that nonsense.
Oh right! I can talk about what we're doing in classes. Well, in physics we're just starting capacitors. The professor had a 100mF capacitor that he charged up, and then when he released the charge it blew up a wire, which is pretty cool because hey, explosions! Mindless destruction is always enjoyable!
Our chemistry class started out learning about electrons. Then we learned about atoms. Now we're going to learn about molecules. I make it sound like I'm in third grade here instead of college but if you want me to be more official, we learned about orbitals as solutions of the Schrodinger equation, radial probability distributions, electron distribution, and periodic trends. I believe that sounds impressive enough for the time being.
In math we have learned how to solve first-order linear differential equations using integrating factors and about autonomous equations, stable/unstable equilibria, and phase lines.
Oh, by the way, just so you know, I have a life outside of classes, which consists of singing, trying to stay in touch with everyone back home, and avoiding writing my blog. Oh, and eating when I remember to do that.
Since this was a really boring post, have a funny video I found floating around on the Internet.
