The Depth of my Salad on a Tuesday Afternoon
Hello
Remember me? I used to be better about writing...sigh.
So here I am...Eating my lunch. Veggie salad with lowfat italian dressing. I took the green peppers off. No matter how hard I try, I just don't like them. I hope it's not taken too personally. I think they are great and all of that. I like them cooked in soups. Just not raw on a salad. But I am sure they don't care about how I feel about them. I am sure there is a myriad of others who are madly in love with the pepper.
I personally am madly in love with jalpeno peppers. There is a sense of accomplishment when one sweats a little while eating.
After this salad, I will enjoy pineapple pieces...yum! Dessert.
As I sit here in the calm before the storm, I think of all the other things I need to be doing right now. If I though last semester was tough, this semester is going to to be rough (er).
No math classes, thank whoever is in charge (actually, me, i made my schedule deliberately devoid of math) I used to love math in high school, but college math just isn't as fun or encouraging. Sigh. Enough complaints about math, after all, it is my minor.
Of course, however, I am taking plenty of physics to fill my void of math. Mondays, Wednesday Fridays, I have analytical mechanics. This class will be a semester of pondering whether Newton was right. Which he was. Until Heisenberg and Einstein and all them spoiled it. Now, Newton is only right MOST of the time. When one doesn't have to worry about relativity. Which I don't...at least not this semester.
Tuesdays and Thursdays I spend exploring optics, with a Wednesday morning lab to be hands on with said optics. While our homework last week did include some basic uses of relativity, I do not think we will be using much of it. Sadly...I find it much more interesting than dusty old Newton. He is just so 18th century. (To test this: take a general physics course...then, follow it with a modern physics course...i think that 7 out of 10 people would agree that modern is much more fun, while 3 out of 10 would just drop in the first week of the general course)
Monday afternoons I spend recreating the famous modern physics experiments conducted in the past 100 years. Right now, I am working on the Cavendish experiment. In involves several balls and moving them in order to calculate the constant G. I think I would rather look it up in a book, but the thrill of lead balls is also enticing.
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I also spend taking German, or as the natives like to call it: Deutsch. Yes, I am still at it, in fact German is one of my minors. This semester, it's German 302, composition. I have a very flamboyant professor who makes class fun.
Tuesdays and Thursdays are also spent in my Honors 203 class, a core requirement in the honors college. It is basically a modern lit class. We are currently discussing Wordsworth's work and next week we begin reading the Communist Manifesto. A fascinating class and a nice break from the formulas of physics.
And of course, there is one more, to which I diligently attend Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at the sunny hour of 8am. This is my communications 210 class, university requirement. Speech...bleh. My professor, a graduate student, made the mistake of saying this class was more important than calculus, unless of course one wants to work for NASA. Which I do. I was slightly offended, but I clarified in introductions that I planned to do just that...work for NASA (and of course use the 2 years of calculus I have taken)
Wow, I have written a lot in avoidance of important tasks...so back to work for me...
I will update soon as to the rest of my schedule!
Tschuess! (good bye auf Deutsch)
