what a semester of physics has taught me.

Only one thing stands between me and the sweet freedom of Christmas break. That annoying barrier to the ability to enjoy uninterrupted nothingness is my physics phinal on phriday at 7 PM. you heard that right, 7 PM!

so late. just about everyone has left clemson.

well, on the bright side, I have more time to study at least. If only I knew this material better. I feel so burnt out, and I'm just ready for these finals to be over. 

What Physics Has Taught Me:
1. you don't remember everything that you learned in highschool. so you can't sleep through or in all of your classes, not pay attention, forget to do the homework, neglect to study and still expect an A
2. Life is in equilibrium. like the sum of all the forces or torques, everything is balanced. Good things happen and bad things happen, positive forces and negative forces. to solve the equation and put it all together, you have to assume that these two forces are balanced.
3. lazy people have to work twice. if only I had gotten just a B on that last test, I would have had a solid A and would have been exempt from the exam. yep... I wouldn't have to take a 7 PM final on the last day of exams. 'nuff said.
4. never schedule an 8 AM...ever again. for some reason having class at 8 is so much worse than having class at 9:05. I wake up at 6:50 everyday (unless my leap of faith onto the futon turns into a "well I'm just gonna rest my head here for a bit" landing) but I just can't manage to stay awake in my 8AM physics class. hence why I am void of notes and worried about this exam.gahhhhh
5. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Go ahead, convert all of that potential energy into kinetic energy. apply a great deal of force over a long distance of time to work as best as you possibly can.
6. Be efficient. even more efficient than a carnot machine
7.  Make your schedule like a sinusoidal wave. these waves oscillate at a constant rate and can continue on for ages without outside forces. They repeat the same motion over and over again. form healthy habits and stick to them like a true sinusoidal wave. A tried and true schedule leads to getting things done which leads to better grades which leads to a better job which leads to more money which leads to... well that's up for you to decide dear readers.

You see, Physics is not phun!
