2 years...

So, I must be a super awesome blogger since I took almost 2 years off. Today has been nostalgia day. My mother going through old photos and me digging up this old blog. I had forgotten how much I was writing back then. Do I dare try and catch up on everything?

I dunno. It might be more fun to just pick up like I never left off. I could even set links to posts I never made referencing stuff I did over the last two years. That'd really mess you up, huh? I'm talking to you. Yes, you. The only one reading my blog. YES, YOU! Future me.

Damn it all!

Probably not.We'll see. Okay, no. I'll be as brief as I feel like.


First of all, I don't have a 4.0 GPA anymore. Calculus saw to that. After busting my behind in Pre-Calculus and getting an A (Professor Pre-Calc was terminated directly afterward by Math Dept. Chair Dr. McHatesStudents) The Math department had a little discussion and said "These kids are getting this math stuff pretty good. Let's find ways to discourage them without failing to teach the material." I'm completely serious. This is a talk they had.

Their answer: Draconic grading of tests in which a small addition error can cost you -15 points on a 10 point question. Despite doing all the Calculus steps correctly. That was my first test in Calc 2.

You did perfect, except in question #46 on
your 18th step you forgot to carry the 2.
That's -594,761 points out of a possible 100.
You fail all the classes ever!

The things they mark down on are errors that they make while explaining how to do the actual Calculus. Things like 1/3 - 1 = -1/3. I have a pretty good understanding of Calculus, and all that means is I know what my calculator is doing for me now in Physics, but now with 2 "D's" and a "C" on my record. (that's Calc 1, 2, and 3 in order).








I dropped out of that English 2 I signed up for that first year. Dropped it again last Spring not due to English Professor issues. In fact Professor English II was a great guy. I was in a motorcycle accident and had to drop the class to stay focused and catch up on my Major Prerequisite classes.

Last Spring Semester I failed Physics 2. I Aced the Lab, but got an "F" in the class. I'm
signed up for it again this Fall. With my Physics 1 prof, Dr. Awesome! I'm also signed up for Differential Equations (a class about managing Equations with Calculus in them) that I had already started (and was doing great) but had to drop for aforementioned reasons.

 

 

 

 

After cleaning themselves...

I had briefly taken on classes to get my GA High School teaching Certificate. So, you know, I might be able to get a job out of my BS in Physics. But one of the classes required me to teach at an elementary school for training. After going into the classroom I freaked out a lot. YOUNG CHILDREN in PUBLIC SCHOOL are disgusting. They're the human shaped snot monsters George Carlin warned me they were.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I was the President of the Society of Physics Students for 2 years. I was able to make record breaking recruitments that rival the Fraternities. I was able to get us so much money, we bought a hovercraft. Essentially, it is thing depicted here, but without the chair. The club is still working on the rover they're building. should be really cool.

There are, now, more Engineering Majors in that physics club than Physics Majors. Physics kids are boring and lazy, and they don't like doing anything except play video games and watch Dragonball Z by themselves, then talk about how they play video games and watch Dragonball Z by themselves in an attempt to one up each other in lonely points.

Chemistry check... Government check...
English 2.... crap.

I took a Chemistry class. I did good. An astronomy class. I did Awesome! I finished up some of my degree blocks. I still need a global issues class (Which I'm signed up for this Fall with Prof Politician, Whose American Government class I enjoyed), World Lit (Which English 2 is a pre-requisite), English 2, and Physics 2. After which I'll have only Major specific requirements.





Oh yeah, I started that War-gaming/strategy club. I made the website (Not much , but
adequate) and was one of 6 people to paint our mini army. We even got into a local tournament and won "Best Painted Army".

 


I've hit one of those lulls in my interest in science. I'm just so distracted by the daily grind that I don't even know about what's going on in space currently. I'm out of the loop. It's affecting my schooling. I have been telling myself that, including my AS, I've been at school for 4 years now. Then I'm reminded I have 2.5 left to go.
