The "First" Post, Against the World, where the heck did the "A" go?

Hmm.

Adjusting to changes? First impressions? The entire matter sounds to me like an essay prompt in disguise. Sure! why not.

I scrolled through a few of the blogs that had already been set up. My life, (though I sometimes wish otherwise) is just as boring, if not more boring, than yours. I'm simply your normal physics student, ambitious enough (but just barely) to make the jump from regular chemistry. Instead of ranting about the same courses, the same teachers, the same dreadful junior year, let's talk specifically about physics:

I don't think anyone, at this point, can be possibly naive enough to expect the course to get easier. Of course this worries me; I realize that there are many tough times ahead. I'll be the first (ok, a little too late for that....) to admit, however, that physics does have its perks.

Anyone enjoy listening to someone lecture a powerpoint in a dark room about, fungi, where you'd be obligated, not motivated to take notes? Yeah, me neither.

While I haven't completely adjusted to the independent learning factor, or the completely hands-on, figure-it-out-yourself labs (which have been pretty cool, by the way---who doesn't enjoy shooting monkeys?), I realize that I still have time to "learn the rules of the game". If it finally means learning what grandma likes and doesn't like, how can I not be excited?

God, the course is so much more intimidating when it's spelled out in its entirety. Advanced Placement Physics B.
What the hell happened to the "A", anyway?

I promised not to talk about junior year, and I'm going to break that promise for a very quick moment. My expectations of this year prove to myself once again only prove how horrible I am at anticipating anything. I was really not prepared at all. Fail. To be brutally honest, I'm probably struggling more and more sleep deprived than many of you. No matter how much of an uphill battle it may seem, "against the world," let's try to stay positive ^^.


In order to stay true to this "first post" business and my newly acquired blog, I'm pleased to announce that this blog did indeed take less than ten minutes to set up. Cool. For those of you reading this at eight PM at night with no blog of your own, shame on you (and me). I'm sorry for wasting precious minutes of your time on a Sunday night when homework needs to be done.

Get out of here.
