Alas, no drabble today.

eponymous_roseInternet was down at home (until I started my expert tech support - that is, unplugging everything and plugging it all back in) and I was actually working at work today, so no drabble. Boo. I'll write two tomorrow!
I'm seriously considering taking an Astrophysics course as an elective next year. Somebody please explain to me the nature of the word "elective" before I give up all my easy classes in favour of differential equations and, y'know, rocket science. (Oh, jeez. They've got a course called "Stellar Astrophysics". I would never stop punning, all day long. It would be glorious. Of course, that'd involve taking a Quantum Mechanics course as a prerequisite. I think I should probably stop speculating along these lines before I wind up calling good ol' Fluid Dynamics my "slack" course next year.)
Maybe I'll just add astrophysics to my list of degrees-to-get-later-if-I-win-the-lottery. First on the list is, of course, chemistry. Hm.
So! I'm certainly not missing school or anything!
(Oh, assignments. Why have you abandoned me? I'll only ever write legibly, I promise! I'll derive all equations from first principles! I'll- well, maybe I wouldn't go that far. There are limits to these things, I know. Okay, no more mathy puns. I promise. I derive far too much pleasure from them.)
I shed a single emo tear when I realized that my textbooks are getting dusty. But then I sporfled when I realized that I'm finally done all 2,000+ pages of my Calculus textbook! (And it only took me four courses to accomplish it! :D)
Okay, geekdom done. I'd better sign off before the internet goes kerplooie again. And I'd better use the dramatic-glasses mood.

You, my dear, are a complete and utter dork.
*grin*
Between the Astrophysics (and Stellar Astrophysics? Seriously?), the sobbing over dusty textbooks (never mind that I lovingly dusted off my own and shoved them on my overflowing bookcase today...), the math puns, the fact that the first thing you want to do after you win the lottery is pursue multiple degrees, and the desperate longing for assignments...
I'm sorry, but there may be no hope for salvation for you. *patpat*
Also? Scientific way of fixing computer? *So* understood. Very technical, us. *nodnod*

Date: 2007-06-17 05:34 pm (UTC)There are actually two stellar astrophysics courses: one is about "Application of physics to stellar formation and stellar evolution; theoretical models and observational comparisons of main sequence stars, white dwarf stars, neutron stars, supernovae, black holes; binary star systems, stellar atmospheres and stellar spectra." and requires calculus, fluid mechanics, and quantum mechanics. The other is about "Stellar interiors and nuclear transformations; energy transport; model stars; variable stars; stellar evolution." and requires differential equations, a heckuva lot of quantum mechanics, and, um, the previous "stellar" course. Yikes.
It's a good thing I like geekiness, because I'm stuck with it! *eyes textbooks dubiously* What have you done to me?
