Anyway, it's not as if I'll be totally rid of them. Maths 1 is simply becoming Maths 2 and, similarly, I'll be getting subjects with a different name but bearing a huge resemblance to the ones I've had so far.
Apart from all of this is the fact that FINALS ARE COMING. Which means I'm up to my ears in electrons getting --EXCIT---ED and zooming around in orbitals instead of plain ole' orbits. There's also a lot of technical mumbo-jumbo and complicated formulae with (oh joy) the units expressed in different ways than I'm used to. Really, what's the point of changing Fz for gravitational force to simply Z? (For the record, it's called zwaartekracht over here ;)).
I did do an awesome job at the weekly Maths 1 tests we had. Well, maybe not strictly awesome, but awesome enough that I met the requirements to skip the final. One down, four to go.
Another thing entirely: I saw this movie yesterday night. It's called "The Grey", it's about Liam Neeson (Qui Gon Jinn, of course) and some other guys who's plane crashed in the barren wilderness where a pack of humongous wolves start hunting them down one by one. It wasn't an incredibly interesting movie, all things considered. It was cool, but kind of pointless and slow. There was however a poem that the father of the main character had written which was basically really cool.
Once more into the fray

The way he said it gave me chills. That's the kind of thing I find really cool, though I wouldn't be able to put a finger on the exact reason if you'd asked me.
But yes, I should probably get back to my fantastic date with the fifth edition of "Exploring Chemical Analysis".
I'll talk to you on the other side of the finals.
Or, perhaps, in the midst of them.
We shall see.

Well good luck with those finals. Changing the way things are expressed is mostly a dick move. If they change them to some kind of official version then that's the version they should always teach you.
ReplyDeleteRight? That's what I thought. I mean, there's also a lot of terms that are now indicated by different greek letters and that at least seems more logical and scientific and everything, but there's no real reason for it. They even say that basically you can use whatever you like as long as it's clear what you mean. >,>.

ReplyDeleteI just had my first couple of tests. Rocked the socks off of 'em, so I bet you'll do fine too. No worries.
And it's exactly as Mark said, the official method of notation >>> any unofficial method.
...except for the guys who write down there elements as colored dots. Those are cool.
