I love Astronomy classes, you guys should know that. It is the bestest. It's my last class of the day and it makes sitting through Physics from a man with an impenetrable accent and ultra-boring critical thinking completely worth it. The labs are in the school planetarium and there's an observing session out at the school's observatory 20 KM out of town.
Everyone should take an Astronomy course.
I have taken two so far. And yes. They are most rad.
273 is one of those numbers you should know if you're doing physics or chemistry
273
8.314
6.02x10^23
6.63x10^-34
3x10^8
1.6x10^-19
9.11x10^-31
1.67x10^-27
Out of these I only recognize avogadro's number.
It's a good thing I want to be a lawyer!
I got the Kelvin conversion, Planck's constant, and the speed of light
And also I know a few of those to greater precision than L|ama posted

1) for being a procrastinator.
2) for being uncreative in my classes.
I don't want to go back to school. I do so well avoiding people who can't think for themselves, and now I'm going to a community college...
Oy vey.
It'll be nice to have to use my linguistic abilities for more reasons than to train dishwashers.
I don't know how you do so well avoiding people who can't think for themselves in a job where you get to train dishwashers. I got lucky for a few years at a grocery store, but when my luck ended I got an introduction to what most of the industry was like...why yes, that's why I went back to school, why do you ask?

so do I, but good luck getting data accurate to more than 3 significant figures outside of a proper research lab
so chemistry is just applied physics, and physics is just applied math
and i am good at math
why the shit am i so bad at chemistry
Could be a bad teacher.
I took phys chem with a really bad teacher that had good reviews. Now I'm taking bio chem with an awesome teacher that has made the subject far more understandable.
Microeconomics test postponed until next week and I spent two hours studying the previous night damn it.
Oh also embarrassed myself texting this one girl in our class thinking we were going to a radio station that day, and it turns out it was next week so WHOOPS.

yeah, i'm 90% sure that is it. the test really wasn't so bad, the homework and everything leading up to it was a disaster. he is about 70 years old i want to say and he told us himself he is almost blind and deaf, and he isn't so bad at teaching, he just seems to never specifically state when things are due, or WHAT is due... i'll confront him more in the coming weeks if i'm unsure about anything, though.
i think the worst part is about all this college stuff is that they make one of those website things that the teacher can upload assignments and whatever on, and of course there are always professors who don't use it
i hate that every professor has their own system for doing things
also it appears there are two websites for his course and they are both different and horribly formatted
chemistry's a lot more memorization than other hard sciences, I would hate to pick it up in university after not doing it in high school. All the things I do in it that I think of as trivial would require looking up the periodic table, and that would get boring quick (mostly thinking of charges on ions here)
This Fortran class ramped the hell up. First project took a couple hours and was pretty easy.
Second project has taken about 10 times as long. Thing is we were given the same amount of time for both.
Lots of late nights this week.
my spanish teacher last year was all "2 years of foreign language are required to graduate, but if you want colleges to actually consider you, take 4 or 3"
is this true? am i fucked if I dont take 3 or 4 years of a language?
yeah, it is a shitton of memorization, rules and exceptions to those rules, etc
i hate it
and i took AP chem and passed it in highschool (with a C+ or B i think, and the teacher had megacurves on his tests) but i still can't really deal with it
so I'm reading about The Troubles on wikipedia and wow I did not realise how fucked up things were
I mean I knew it was shitty and there was a lot of violence, but I didn't realise it was borderline civil war
and this description of Bloody Sunday
The British government introduced internment on 9 August 1971. The British Army in co-operation with the RUC, but acting on out of date intelligence interned hundreds of men and women. This eventually rose to several thousand. Most of those interned were innocent of involvement with the PIRA. The PIRA having being tipped off about the internment had fled across the border. Many of those imprisoned were civil rights activists.
NICRA organized marches against internment. In Derry on 30 January 1972, fourteen unarmed demonstrators were shot and killed by British troops during an anti-internment march. This became known as Bloody Sunday. The army later claimed it had come under fire. No guns were uncovered. Most of the victims were shot in the back, indicating they were running away. The British government report cleared the British Army of the deaths.

I only took two years of spanish and I got a presidential scholarship at a pretty big private university
of course the tuition was insane even with the scholarship but that's another story
It depends on the college, but 2 years of Spanish instead of 3 or 4 isn't really likely to be a deal breaker. If you only take two years in high school you'll definitely have to take at least one more, probably two, in college to graduate.
Following a twelve-year inquiry, Saville's report was made public on 15 June 2010, and contained findings of fault that could re-open the controversy, and potentially lead to criminal investigations for some soldiers involved in the killings. The report found that all of those shot were unarmed, and that the killings were both "unjustified and unjustifiable." On the publication of the Saville report the British prime minister, David Cameron, made a formal apology on behalf of the United Kingdom.
Testing out is great until the records office fucks up on you.
"Why does this say my language requirement isn't met? Your own people said I was covered for this during freshmen registration."
"Do we have a copy of your high school transcript?"
"You admitted me and registered me fine, so I'd assume so."
"Well we need another copy to prove it"

I knew them all. Woohoo
numbers
The only numbers anyone really needs to know are 1-16. After that they're all meaningless. And 14, and 15 aren't really necessary.
finally get to the class - it is 100% multiple choice!
not to say i did well on it, but that made me slightly more confident
1) for being a procrastinator.
2) for being uncreative in my classes.

I was going to respond to this post immediate with "me too", but, y'know...
I write my best papers an hour before they're due. True story.
Going so far in life, this girl.

numbers are the worst
letters are better though, esp greek ones
so do I, but good luck getting data accurate to more than 3 significant figures outside of a proper research lab
I didn't forget pi. Pi is a mathematical constant, not a physical one. e is also just as important as pi, if not moreso.
when I was first learning numbers I would always get 17 and 18 around the wrong way

I thought pre-calc was way harder than actual calculus
might've just been that I had a really shitty teacher for the former and a really good one for the latter though
