So bored.
12 years ago
So I'm just kinda sitting here, bored on the train on my way to school and I figured, "I haven't posted a journal to FA in a while. Life update time!"
So for any of you who do not know, I am a freshman in college. I'm in a five year BS/MS program for Physics/Education. Freshamn year has been rather dull. Trudging through all the required 100 level courses is a pain.
Physics was fun at first. Getting to review all the mechanics stuff I already knew was neat, and I could help out my new friends or make quirky comments. I really liked the professor. Then we got into some new stuff: relativity. Blew my mind a little, but I eventually sorta wrapped around it. We did thermo at the beginning of this term, which I still do not entirely understand. Going to the end of the term in E&M. Can't wait.
As for coding classes, I've learned a bunch of new things. Python is so much fun. We use it for simulations, for examples in class, and basically anything physics we need. Or math. I use it as a calculator a lot. Maple is a really, really strong tool, but probably not a great program to use too often. C++ is a fun language, similar to Java which I mostly know.
However, my C++ class is godawful. It just drags on and on and on. Literally, 6 weeks into the course and we JUST learned conditionals? Great. I don't even bother going to lecture, because I can learn everything better on my own, or I already know it. Did I mention the prof doesn't even know C++?
English sucks. I've always hated it. Really not much else to say there.
Still have my job, working for the parks department in my township.
Have a big trip to look forward to this summer. Headed to the Czech Republic, with a day in Germany and finishing off with a day in Hungary. Not sure how much free time I'll have, but if any of you happen to live in any of those places, I would be happy to try to meet up :3.
Sooo yeah, that's about it. Thanks for reading my bored rant, if you did.
Feel free to ask me questions. Anything. Im bored.
