Final stretch

NOTE: I know you guys can't live without me, but in case you haven't got the message, I won't be posting until my Quantum Final is over 5pm [Central Daylight Savings Time = -5 GMT] on Saturday. So stop making me feel guilty by visiting.

Yes. I track everyone. You are being tracked. You have been warned.

I'm dropping off the network.

Final stretch guys,

Thursday - Organic Chemistry Final
Saturday - Quantum Final

Nunc aut numquam!

06 May 2006

Lots of stuff.

Last day of classes was today. Quantum ended in a whimper. In Organic, we just sang songs for the entire period. On hindsight, it was a little strange. In Japanese, we played a game.

You know, it's very rare in college to have woman teachers, who are usually much much kinder and they're always smiling, so the classes make you feel more relaxed, so it's nice. I guess that's why I like Japanese. Well, I guess Japanese with a male teacher would be ok, only if he was like Hattori Hanzo or something. :D

Eh. I'll miss that class. It's a good thing all the Japanese teachers are female, because I use those classes to relax. [knock on wood...]

Speaking of classes, one of my goals when I finish my undergraduate work, is that I should be able to lecture Physics in Japanese. How awesome would that be? I would be the ultimate badass. haha

\Also, I'm convinced that every once in a while, my brain turns off, and I become retarded. I broke my phone this last week. Guess how? Not by dropping it or anything like that (because that would too normal...). I RAN INTO A TABLE. How retarded is that?

Accidentally, but still, I ran into a table, and my phone's outer LCD cracked. Oh well, one my friends in Japanese lent me a phone until I go home.
\So this is what happened today - I was working on my lab report until around 3:30AM, when I went to sleep until about... 8:30AM. Then woke up --> shower --> Quantum --> Organic --> Japanese, then turned in my lab report, turned in my math models paper, and came back to watch...
LAND OF THE DEAD.

I had this craving to watch some kind of zombie movie. THIS MOVIE IS THE MOST GODAWFUL DISGUSTING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. Just so that last comment has some validation, here's a list of things that I have seen (IN REAL LIFE):
  • Gun-shot exit wounds the size of tangerines
  • A baby being delivered... multiple times
  • People bleeding out profusely
  • Spine surgery, heart surgery
Just don't watch it. I'm not sure why I even watched it. I usually don't watch zombie movies because they violate conservation principles. These zombies could like... walk in underwater, like walk across a river by walking on the river bed. That's really..really hard to do.

Also, they attack the zombies by shooting fireworks so they zombies get distracted. That's kind of stupid. Who distracts zombies using fireworks wtf.

What else is wrong with zombie movies? Well..
  • Dead people usually have organs and muscles that don't work... so technically, they can't just "wake up" and RUN after someone
  • Zombie movies don't have zombies listening to eurobeat. But now that I think about it.. zombies can't really control themselves, and if you listen to eurobeat its.. rhythmic? I dunno. I don't want to see zombies dancing to eurobeat.
  • Better looking girls. Sometimes, some of the zombies look better than the main (human = hu-mahn) character.
  • Again, the whole conservation thing. Technically, zombies can't find their own food very easily, so all you have to do is lock yourself in a room with lots and lots of sushi (or chicken sandwiches or whatever) and wait like 3 weeks, and they should all be dead.
  • Zombies have blood. Blood has immunoglobulins and T-helper immunocytes and neutrophils and all that good stuff that helps us normal people live. With all those open wounds, they should die in like 2 hours from infection. Yet, they live on <-- wtf?
You don't even have to wait 3 weeks for them to starve, they'll be on the floor in a week or so. Then you can kick them. But if you do, kick the hippie zombies first. <-- They're usually the ones with a guitar. OMG haha. I didn't say that.

Oh and I'm like so happy right now. You know how hard it's raining right now? Here's a picture.

Look closer for 'AUSTIN'. You know what that's called? That's HADOKEN from the skies. I'm going to listen to eurobeat and.. um. get high of all this {rain + eurobeat} awesomeness.

Oh and tell me how my posts are doing. 1-10 integer ratings only plz.

Troopa till the end

I can't believe I'm staying up this late to finish a quantum lab report on the last day of school.

Well. Not much to say here.

NUCLEAR SEMINAR PAPER

Enjoy. It's kind of boring, but I said I'd post it so there.

Something weird

something weird happened today.

So I went down to this "study for finals" meeting in the Jester West lobby, and naturally, we were only there for pizza, not "finals" tips.

So I grabbed a slice and a coke and I finished it really quickly and started heading for the elevator. When the door opens, I feel this HUGE BURP coming up, and I just let it out, and some girl was standing right there. Then I was like "oh. Pardon me" in the most pretentiously-British accent ever. Here is a recount:

[ding! goes the elevator]
Me: [looking at the door as it opens] BRRAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUU *pop*
Girl: .....
Me: Oh pardon me. [The name's Dash..]
[Girl hastens away]

She was probably gagging though. I was too traumatized to look.

Yes. I burped in someone's face today, and I've been feeling strange for a while. I feel bad kinda.
Oh and there's another elevator story!

I was waiting for the elevator, and some girl was waiting too. Then it comes, and I get in and I go.. "don't you want to get in?" [ha..ha..stfu]. Then she says "No.. that elevator is kinda creepy, it got stuck on 3rd floor for like 3 minutes"

?? I was like.. uhh whatever. Man she was not bad looking either. Perhaps I should have pushed the issue, then the elevator would really get stuck and things would get hot. [or not. haha]



In other news, I calculated Planck's constant to within a magnitude of the accepted value, which is still something like 80% error, but I hear its ok!. Only pretentious departments like chemistry demand +/- 5% error. We physics are perfectly ok with 80%.

Also on one of my handouts, it said plot Ln(I) vs Vm, and I asked a math guy what it meant and... he had no idea how to fix the axes.


Oh and its y vs. x NOT x vs. y.

Now usually.....

UPDATE: Blog layout changed. Of course, I was listening to "Night of Fire" while doing this, so it may not be 'complete'.

Usually I don't repeat myself, because it's not necessary. But today, I have to.

Hippies.

Yes. We need to beat them and slap them over:















You have seen these particular sequence of images before.

There's a certain hippie I know and he really needs a severe ass-kicking. DIE HIPPIE DIE.



Yesterday I was walking back to Jester from RLM, and I over heard two girls talking:

Girl 1: OMG Girl, you've got to stay in fashion design!! Why are you transferring out?
Girl 2: I dunno, I just don't feel right...
Girl 1: NO!!! Stay in fashion design and MARRY A RAPPER!
Girl 2: Yeah! Yeah, you're totally right, I should stay in fashion design and marry a rapper!

At this point, I quickened the pace and moved on. Perhaps I should have lingered. I really need a voice recorder to chronicle my interesting (and boring) life.

ok. Back to the hippie. Ever know people that are so so.. retarded that you want to feel sorry and beat them at the same time? Of course, I do not want to sound pretentious, but I think I deserve a shard of respect. Just a little bit.

I bet most of you know who this guy is.

Anyway, Jonathan, thanks for laughing at my test grade. But you know, the universe works in funny ways.

Yesterday also marks the first time I did worse on a Japanese quiz than an organic test. I think I have somehow um. gone crazy.

Japanese quiz - 18/20 -> 90% (damn u furigana)
Organic test - ____ -> 97.83%

Ahh yes. My presentation. I don't think it went so well, but we'll see.

Here they are.

PHYLOGENETICS - PRESENTATION

PHYLOGENETICS - NOTES SLIDES

Enjoy! - They are extremely nerdy.

Tomorrow, I will be posting my paper for nuclear seminar. Or Today, depending on what I feel like.

Whoa. I just like fazed out for an hour.

OK back to posting. I'm pretty sleepy, but here's an image - taken from my presentation. Unfortunately, this is one of the few non-nerdy things you will see..

Not much of a story eh.

Oh and people that leave comments, please leave your name so I can get back to you (or beat you).
