"Will integrate for food."
04.26.04 - 4:35 PM

I got up at six this morning, jogged two miles, and was in the lab at 7:30. I worked on homework from 7:30 to 9:30. Class from 9:30 to 10:30 (Real Analysis). I worked on homework in the lab from 10:45 until 2. Class from 2 until 3. Did homework from 3 to 3:30. Came home and ate dinner, it's now 4:30.

By 5, I'll be back in the lab, working on MORE homework, and I expect to be back home sometime around midnight, but quite possibly not until 2 or 3.

This is the life I live... (fairly happily though, at least when it comes to school).

Here's something I found interesting...

YOU MIGHT BE A PHYSICS MAJOR IF...

  • You have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.

  • You enjoy pain.

  • You know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.

  • You chuckle whenever anyone says "centrifugal force."

  • You've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.

  • It is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.

  • Right now you are converting 70 degrees to Kelvin.

  • You use algebra to determine which coins you need at the laundromat.

  • You will integrate for food.

  • You've calculated that the World Series actually diverges.

  • You hesitate to look at something because you don't want to break down its wave

    function.

  • You have a pet named after a scientist.

  • You laugh at jokes about mathematicians.

  • You've ever considered using "You are my density" as a pick up line.

  • The Humane society has you arrested because you actually performed the Schrodinger's Cat

    experiment.

  • You can translate English into Binary.

  • You can't remember what's behind the door labeled "EXIT" in the science

    building.

  • You never seem to enroll in "the class" with a girl in it.

  • You avoid doing anything because you don't want to contribute to the eventual heat-death

    of the universe.

  • You consider ANY non-science course "easy."

  • When your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally

    determined its momentum so precisely that according to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in

    the universe.

  • You'll assume that a chicken is a sphere in order to make the math easier.

  • You understood more than five of these indicators.

  • You make a hard copy of this list, and post it on your door.

The physics majors of Otterbein College are currently developing a new, more up-to-date list... but this is still damn funny...
