Ugh, this semester is turning out to be tough. I picked up a second job as a programming contractor, because my "real" job pays well but doesn't get me the hours I need. Unfortunately, food and shelter are some of those essential needs that also cost money to acquire and maintain.
School could be easier. I'm finally grokking my mechanics class (physics 301). Not that it is conceptually or mathematically hard; it's just that modelling problems in order to solve them has proven itself an elusive skill. Fortunately, my other physics class (computational physics, 331) is a conceptual walk in the park; the only difficulty stems from the ambiguity in our professor's assignments. If she would just come out and tell us what she wants instead of trying to get us to infer it, things would be significantly easier.
Why did I start writing this? Oh yeah, so that the month of October wouldn't go by without at least one post from me, meaningless as it is.
You are dismissed.
