I. So. Rock.

I got an A on my physics test. An ***A***. Around 55% was passing (It's college level physics, so the tests are really hard). Guess what I got: 74.5% I was so ecstatic. I'm still ecstatic. This is the first time I've earned a grade that was above the class average (which was 65%, by the way). This is the first time I've gotten a non-flunking grade on a test or quiz in this class. I got a 36% on my last test (in which 40% was the dumbfuck cut-off). The highest score I ever got on a quiz was 11.5 points out of 25.

My professor was so proud of me. In fact, that's what she wrote on my test: "Amazing! You can do it. Keep going."

I AM THE SHIT.

This is the first time I've felt not-stupid in that class. Before today, it seemed vaguely masochistic that I was so attached to this subject that I was flunking. Now, suddenly, my love for physics is justified.

Of course, I just took a calculus test I'm sure I flunked, but *nothing* could spoil my mood -- not even that.

*Eeeeeeee!*





*sigh*

I deserve a reward.

I think I'll write myself some porn.




Ooh -- funny story.

Every thursday my chemistry class breaks up into four groups, and each group writes problems for the other groups. If a question is answered correctly, your group gets 25 points. You can also recieve partial credit. One group decided to be creative. They made their problem: A gaseous fart reacts with water vapor at 600 degrees Kelvin. The reaction produces two gaseous products. Find the partial pressures of each gas produced. (of course more information is needed to solve the problem, but these are the only details I bothered remembering)

Of course, the problem was really hard, so people in other groups objected that the question should be ruled invalid (which ended up happening). The first objection: this reaction requires combustion. Farts are not explosive.

But wait -- my bad -- it was specified in the question that the fart was in a container at 600K (which is hot enough for combustion to occur).

So basically, someone farted (in Puerto Rico, because the air would have to be very humid for the methane in the fart to react with water vapor). They then packaged their fart in a container and sent it off into the sun.

I never laughed so hard in my life. First of all, I was running on two hours of sleep, and when I'm that tired, everything's funny. In top of that -- *this*? I could not believe this question. Wow.

My favorite part was how the question specified that it was a "gaseous fart." What else could it have been -- a "liquid fart?" I believe that's more commonly referred to as a bowel movement.

Liquid fart, huh? This might be the first time I like Chemistry. ^_^ Oh god... how do people come up with stuff like that? *grin*

Congrats on the Physics test!! *hands you reward*

I'm excited because I got a new license plate and got into English 102. Yessss!

It's a good day all around. ^_^
