March 24, 2011

I wisely shut off my phone before passing into unconsciousness at around 10 pm; I then slept till 7:30. I went downstairs, had green tea, went back up stairs, checked my email, learned my professor would give me a pass for my test after class so I wouldn’t have to come in early, I then had another cup of tea, took a shower, got dressed, relaxed for a few minutes, then drank a breakfast shake and left for school at 9 am. Arriving a few minutes early for the bus at 9:15.

Class was fun, had a chat with my Bangladeshi colleague about Libya before the professor arrived. Then we went over linearizations of differentials, which essentially explained what was obvious to me from several chapters earlier, a derivative of a function is a function to one less degree and thus if you start with the graph of a quadratic equation, you get the graph of a linear equation.  It was surprisingly easy given the arcane nature of the preceding sections.

After class I got my slip, and I ran into a friend from highschool who actually goes to the same college as me. He’s a something like 2-4 years older than me… nice guy, he stopped me on my way out and asked me what and how I was doing. Also complimented me, I guess I must look better than the brooding, morose, slightly chubby recluse he used to know… I then headed home for lunch.

I had left over’s from the previous night, and a vegetable soup my father made. Apparently both my parents are sick, again, and I’m not… again. I also had three additional glasses of tea. I spent a lot of time studying, I reviewed the definition of differentiation, the rules of differentiation, and changes in rate, as well as some trigonometric derivatives, however I didn’t get too far with those.   

I had chicken cacciatore for dinner, and emailed my professor asking whether or not it would be possible for me to pick up my replacement book tomorrow before noon. I plan on taking my test 2 hours prior to closing in and around 11, which will give me close to two hours, which should be more than enough.

Haven’t heard a word from my ex, I assume she’s pissed because I took offense to being woken up at midnight, some people sadly lack the basic principles of logic and common decency. The less said about that the better, I did hear from my cousin, who was similarly vexing… she asked me what I was doing, I told her, she then told me she would leave me to it, I responded with,  “nice talking to you” and she snapped at me for being rude… You know I’m beginning to think it’s my lot in life to attract the most insane people of any group… I end up dating the least stable of my friends, and I end up being contacted by the least stable of my relatives… can I just once have normal human interaction that doesn’t end with me being reproached for no discernible reason? I swear… 

But I digress, its half past 9 and I’m going to take a shower and get ready for bed. I have to be up and ready tomorrow as I want to do some more studying before I come in for the test, primarily the trigonometric derivatives which I’m still unclear on.
