I think I'm gonna start writing every day at lunch or something. That seems to be the time of the day I have the most time. Kinda relaxed too, especially since at that time I have just eaten, and I'm in a better mood.
I installed this really awesome writing app that builds itself right into Chrome. It's just a basic writing app that types in plaintext, withut bold, italic, or anything. It's called Writer. Anyway, it makes it really easy to just type out things that are in my head.
I can easily see how the Chromebook would work, as long as you're not a media developer, you've pretty much got all the things you need on the internet.. or in the case of Chromebook, on the browser. Apps like Writer really prove the capabilities of browsers.
So that's a tangent to be continued.
Worked a lot on physics today. Had a quiz. Literally, every single quiz I take in that class rapes me. I come out of that class feeling genuinely violated. The topics we cover in that class are out of this world. To say that I've never been acclimated to the level of thinking required to succeed in that class is painfully obvious. I know I study five times more than any of the other assholes in that class, but I'm still producing the work of an average student. Then again, this is my first REAL physics class. Everything else has been math, which I'm good at. But actually applying the math, and thinking about things critically, that's a different story.
Today on the quiz we dealt with differentiation. Now, I know what you're thinking. Differentiation is easy. Yeah, it is.. but applying variable transformations to fucking Schrödinger's equations by taking multiple implicit derivatives is ridiculous. I got the differentiation, but there's no way in hell I could complete the substitutions in the given 30 minutes. Most people didn't finish the quiz, but still. The people that do, I have no idea how they do it. And it really makes me mad that I am unable.
Anyway, it's that kind of shit I have to deal with every day in that class. We take simple concepts, like differentiation or multidimensional integration, and then fuck with it, warp it, and apply it in ways you'd never expect. So I will study the concepts, feel confident that I will do well on the quizzes because I know how to do the shit, and then I get a question like I did today completely out of nowhere.
The one thing that makes me not feel quite as bad is that class has a plus or minus 45% average. Which means there's gonna be a huge curve. It's a very hard class, but still, 45% is fucking horrible and I won't be satisfied.
Soooo... study, study, study. Gonna pack up, and get to differential equations. I like that class.
