I hate physics with a passion... It is just not my thing. Ugh I just have to make it to next Friday and im done.

Same. But I have another week plus a final...and then another semester. I know I got at least half of the problems wrong on this homework (slash just gave up on them...) but I really can't be bothered to fix it.

I think graduating in 18 days has made me just not care anymore.. I'm just ready to be done!!
 
My left ear keeps crackling 😕
It's been doing it for a week now and gets much worse when I yawn or sort of burp with my mouth closed (hard to explain I guess). It's not painful but it's really really annoying :eyebrow:

Abney: Any guy who goes "exclusive" and then tells you he is "not ready for this" has issues. I will never understand why people do that. You are better off looking for a great guy who shares your view on relationships. There are plenty of them out there.

Coquette: I know exactly how you feel. I am fatigued. Doctor wants to hook me up with a sleep specialist. I went back on tri-cyclic antidepressants and started to notice a difference. Had blood work done a week ago. I have not gotten the results yet. I have been dealing with similar issues for the last two years. I know how frustrating it can be to deal with doctors and with waiting for an answer. I hope they figure out what is wrong!

My minor rant: I have a UTI. I feel cruddy. I am not looking forward to spending the evening at the walk-in. I am supposed to work late tonight, which makes the chances of the clinic being slammed a million times worse. An well. I brought things to make bracelets.

I love physics!! I can help you if you'd like. PM me and I'll give you my email address and you can send me problems 🙂

P.S. Calculus or algebra based physics??
 
Yeah I'm kinda ready to be done with undergrad too, one more semester though. sigh

Doesn't help my motivation that my 21st birthday is next week right before finals start :lame:

You're a December baby like Kpowell and I!! I'm the 2nd and she's the 5th ... When are you??
 
No wonder we all get along, it's a Sagittarius thing 😀
 
My supervisor scheduled me to work on my normal day off without asking me if I could even do it. Looks like I won't get to shadow this week.
 
Duuuuude ...

There was a water line break so the water has been turned off to our entire building for the next ~8 hours ... no toilets, no sinks, no drinking fountains, etc. I guess they're bringing in porta potties for ~250 of us to use. How in the world can they keep us here??

Please just send us home for the day :xf:

Calc based...we're doing moment of inertia and it just makes no sense. I know I'll get it once I work with it a little more, but just, ugh.

Also, I have way too much stuff to do right now. An incredibly involved post-lab for chem due tomorrow, a 10 page paper that I haven't started yet, and 5,000 words to go on my novel (yes, that counts). I was hoping to have some time after my work shift tonight, but that's not looking likely.

I took the entire calculus based physics sequence so if you need help with anything other than optics seriously PM me 🙂
 
Actually, it was probably not Valentine's for my parents - it was probably my mom's b'day. Blech
On this amusing theme......

A few years ago I was reading about how there was a huge snowstorm in NYC that caused widespread power outages the year I was born. Then i did the math, and was like, "whoa, that was 9 months before I was born 😱)...

When I noted this to my parents there were a lot of embarrassed, red faces and a quick change of topic. I found the whole thing kind of funny.
 
Well... since you have me thinking about the topic....

I was born in May, my mother's birthday in 9 months earlier....

And my father's birthday is 3 days after mine.....
 
Dang it, now I am thinking about it.

My siblings and I would have been made around my dad's bday.
 
Thanksgiving break completely killed my good student attitude. Since school started again this week I've been completely unmotivated to study. I'm still going to all my classes but not really putting any effort into them. I stayed at the library monday and tuesday for about three hours each day to study and I hardly got anything done. With only a week and a half left before finals week I really need to get my butt into gear, but I can't seem to break out of my apathetic attitude. Anybody have any tips to help you stay motivated and focused on school?

My grandmother is starting to lose her mind, and when I was home for Thanksgiving she decided to tell three of her sons, their spouses, and 9 of her grandchildren where each of her 7 kids were conceived. My poor dad and uncle got it the worst though. She went into detail about how she conceived my dad in the back of their Chevelle with my uncle in a car seat up front. My dad and his brothers were dying! 😱
😆
 
Now that you guys mention it, mine must have been around my mom's birthday too... :laugh: I was an early baby so it'd work..
 
I was planned and as Abney pointed out, it was around Valentine's Day.

Saw the doctor again this morning. He's stumped, and advised me to try to up my exercise. I've had the same symptoms while running 3-4 times a week so I don't think it'll help, but fair enough, if I was a doc, I'd probably make the same recommendation. But he's referring me to an internist! When he mentioned exercise, I figured he'd brush me off like other doctors have in the past. But he's not! Hurrah!

My Twinkie 😀

3rd! 😛

Your awesome 👍
Your awesome 👍

Dec 4th here! 🙂
Your awesome 👍

SO TRUE... We are all awesome 😀

Your parents probably had Valentine's Day sex.... :lame:

Wow, thanks for pointing that out Abs.... :barf:

wax buildup/drainage issues are what causes this in my ears sometimes. Does it crackle when you clench your jaw, too?


I was conceived during Christmas. 😱

Nope. I figure it's something like that, it's just quite annoying. 👎

Never ever ever ever EVER get the new flu vaccine as a nasal mist. I got it on September 19th and until 2 weeks ago I had green bloody boogers!!!! It was horrible.

i recommend against the intradermal one too - 90% smaller needle with 90% more pain and skin irritation 🙄

we are having an issue with this where I work right now.... happened to me between christmas and new year's. it's getting annoying. or she's shifting switches so someone works later than normal on our long days.
 
:bang:

My co-workers, especially the undergrads, are really starting to tick me off.

If you know you're going to be out of town for certain days, then ask for those days off! Don't sign up for a shift and then expect the rest of us to magically be able to cover for you when you can't be there!!! UGH! 😡

I HATED that. I was always the one that was available too, and needed the money badly enough to not say no. 🙄 I'm so glad I have a job now where the people actually care and always show up to work.
 
UGHHHHH. WHY DO I HAVE TO GET SICK NOWWWW 😡😡😡
:bang: during finalssssss!!
 
Have to do 3 physics lab reports tonight.... Yes I procrastinated... I hate this class.. The professor is seriously crazy.... He has admitted to us that the university tried to fire him, but then he sued , won, and got his job back... Now he can do whatever the Eff he wants... He told us this in class as a student was disputing his grade on something.. He told the guy, go to the dean, I dare you, they tried to fire me once and I showed them :meanie:

Thank goodness tomorrow is the last day of lab.

My boyfriend was telling me that exercise may help. Back when I was in school, exercise kept me alert right after doing it, but it did not help me with concentration or falling asleep when I was not exercising :/ If you are already running, I cannot see how that will help. Maybe it is stress related? Stress does a lot of weird things to me. Anyway, my fingers are crossed for you.

I just got my gym membership this week. That belongs on the Rave Here section. I cannot wait to start working out again 😀
 
Minor rant, but this is the 7th day my house has had no internet, which means no Netflix and an inability to download notes for class. Came in to school early to convert notes, and the computers here are acting up. Grr...

My husband is on a surgery rotation now. His days are from 3 am to 7 pm. By the time he gets home, it's time for bed. At least he gets 2 extra days off for Christmas/New Year's that we didn't expect.
