Arrrrggg! I never want to see another physics textbook ever again!
You want to know why? Here's why.
A day in the life:
7:00 - Alarm goes off
7:45 - Finally roll out of bed
8:30ish - Leave for school
9:15 - Arrive at school
9:30 - 10:20 - Math 126, Calculus III
10:30 - 11:29 - Help out in International Tea Time
11:30 - 12:20 - English 270, Professional Business Writing
12:30 - 2:20 - Physics 122, Calculus based Physics II. Got minor electrical burns on the back of my right hand from lab, but it was so much fun that it was worth it!
2:20 - 3:30 - Work on physics homework in the Science Study Center with about eight other guys
3:30 - 4:27 - More physics homework
4:30 - Science Study Center closes. In two hours, all of us working together only completed one and a half problems
4:30 - 5:30 - Five of us go to the C-lounge and do more physics homework
5:30 - 6:30 - Still working on physics homework
6:30 - 7:45 - Want to take a guess? Yep, still even more physics homework
7:45 - Other guys leave. It took us five hours and fifteen minutes, working together, to complete six physics problems, which was many times faster than it would have taken any one of us working alone!
7:45 - 7:59 PM - I go upstairs to say hi to anyone who's left in ASG before I head for home.
7:59 - Leave for car
8:04 - Throw my nearly forty pounds of books into the car, which is on the 4th level of the parking garage and leave for home
8:40 - Finally walk in the front door
And now, as soon as I finish typing this, I will go and study even more physics, probably till about 10:30 or 11:30, and then go to bed. I haven't even had time to get to my calc or writing homework today. Altogether, I think that I had maybe a total of 25ish minutes of free time to actually visit with people.
The sad thing is, for the last couple quarters, this has pretty much been my life. Normally I have the 10:30 hour free to visit or study (depending on what's due for classes), and I usually will spend one to two hours after classes are out catching up with friends. And normally, the majority of my afternoon and/or evening is spent in the tutoring center, usually in the math lab, rather than working on physics. (And that brings up another point - I've been asked multiple times, by both professors and other tutors, to be both a math tutor and a writing tutor. I'd like to do both, in fact I already have the paperwork filled out so that I'm approved, I just have yet to find time to actually do it.) But other than that, this pretty much defines my schedule day in and day out.
So now, I shall hit the "save changes" button so that all of you can read about my wonderful life, and then I shall crack open that horrid physics book once again.
I hope you've all enjoyed the tour of my life.

Now go win a nobel peace prize in physics or something. That'll make it all worthwhile.
wow. that is a pretty intense schedule, Jonathan. I hope your physics homework went well...I am sure I will see you going into math today, so I will be able to wish you a good day.
oh, I forgot to add: Only two more days, today and tomorrow, and then it is the weekend, so hopefully you will be able to relax a little then.
Yes... the weekend. hehe, ha, hahaha, *insert crazed laughter here* Relax. Right. This weekend, I get to work on all the homework that wasn't done yesterday (calc), and that won't be done today (math and english) because I have a physics midterm on Friday. (I know nothing, and I can prove it!
) So, through Saturday and Sunday, I will be working on one or two sections of calc, while also working on two different group projects for English (with one of them being a very intense three week long project)! And in between all that, I've got to find time to watch the Superbowl! :yes: Oh yes, relax. I shall have to look that up in the dictionary and find out what this word that you speak of means. :laugh:
But thanks for stopping by, :wave: and thanks for the words of encouragement. :coolman: I appreciate that. :sunny:
How lovely to have you pop up on my Xanga. Thank you for your comment. Yes, I do agree with you, but I love the poetic visuals of this little story of the sand and the stone. Being a visual person, it helps me to remember the lesson better if it comes with a 'picture' for my brain! I am sorry that your homework load is so nuts- you are not alone! (unfortunately! :rolleyes:) I am in the N250 lab now and will be here until closing
I am behind (again) in all of my classes. So I guess my weekend will look kinda like yours! Do make time for the football game if it is that important to you. Life is too short to not take out some time for play!:fun: God Bless you!
hey, did you get to the game? :sunny:
:spinning:it was lovely to get a chance to talk with you today in the lab. A very nice break! Always nice to look up from my computer screen and see a friendly face smiling at me:sunny:....I love your little smily face box- it always makes ME smile....Lesia (or mom, or Randy's mom, or....whatever you like):goodjob:
