How failure goes from being hypothetical to very very real
Posted by E-George on November 14, 2007
My failure of Physics 2 is official. As of today, I received my third test back, and performed worse on this test than the one prior, and the one prior was still a failing grade. Now, all that can be done is to drop the class and try again next semester. It is this very [...]

Proportional to quantity and size of bricks shat
Posted by E-George on October 30, 2007
There was a test last week in my Circuits class over the Fourier Series. I walked into the test feeling fairly confident and left the test and left feeling equally confident. Normally, such confidence before, during, or after a test is a good indicator of how badly I smoked a passing [...]

Physics is my personal Goliath

For which I have no sling and no stone big enough to fell it.
Intimidation doesn’t often visit my doorstep, largely because it doesn’t like to be laughed at full in the face and derisively kicked to the curb. It only comes around when it knows it has the upper hand and can barge into [...]

Analagous

This is how I feel (and likely look) after a whole weekend of studying for a physics exam tomorrow.

Where’d I put my cranky pants?
Posted by E-George on September 29, 2007
The classic diametrically opposing activities confronted me this weekend, with the blunt force likened to having a door vigorously shut across one’s fingers. The choices were these:
Go to my parents house and celebrate Noah’s graduation from paramedic school and subsequent licensing as a paramedic. See Sarah and Larry and Anah for the [...]

How NOT to start the first day of school
Posted by E-George on August 20, 2007
I wore sandals today that I was sure are designed for vigorous walking. They’re Teva’s for the love of all that is the mac’n’cheesiest – granted last season’s design, but should that make a difference? I walked vigorously in them to class (approximately 1.2 miles) and and equally vigorously back from class [...]

A rhyme to make you squirm visciously

This little piggie went to market:
This little piggie stayed home:
This little piggie had roast beef:
This little piggie had none:
This piggie went “WEE WEE WEE” until the other piggies got thoroughly annoyed and proceeded to beat him with sticks:

Regrettably true

“Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn’t the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment”. – Robert Benchley
I can vouch for that. Take now for instance. I should be doing something else, but I chose to write this.

Dropping the Physics class
Posted by E-George on June 7, 2007
Having bit off more than I can chew and still remain (dubiously) sane, I declare that I will drop my Physics 2 class in favor of doing a good job in Circuits 1. This physics class keeps moving at a rocket ship pace, and I just can’t keep up! There’s 2-3 home works [...]

I wore my shirt backwards. All. Day. Long.
Posted by admin on June 4, 2007
It was my first day on the new job. Out to impress. Gunning for success. As I walked back in the kitchen door tonight, some tickle of a thought urged me to check why my shirt color had felt so oddly restrictive all day. I grabbed the collar and stretched it out so I could [...]
