Physics is a love/hate relationship

So it's around 1AM and I'm studying for a physics exam at 9AM about Work, Forces, and Friction. Conservation of Energy is not a very fun concept to grasp with the whole Kinetic/Potential energy bull. By now, most people are sleeping, except Khiem, whom makes sporadic appearances on AIM. Never mind he just signed off. I'm only awake right now because I drank a cup of coffee and I'm feeling okay. In the back of my mind, I'm dreading the near future of today. I must wake up at 8AM to be at class by 9. I will most likely be able to leave early, so I'll take that time to head over to the library to study for a Pre-Calculus gateway exam. I hate those exams with the passion of a thousand burning suns and their mothers. After taking the gateway and being assigned a retarded workload of homework for that class, it'll come time for me to go to work from 5-10:15. I enjoy closing shifts on this day because I can have a bento waiting for me on Friday morning, waiting to be warmed up. However, tomorrow, I am dreading such a thing because I will most likely be pretty tired. I don't particularly enjoy working while I'm low on energy and I'm sure that I speak for many others as well. Once I am through with work, the glory will have arrived: well earned rest time. I plan to wake up at a late 9AM to go shopping some, fill up the gas tank, do whatever else I need to do that might come to mind while I'm doing these activities, and make the 45 mile trek to Irvine to beat Pauline at Monopoly.

Monopoly. Yes. The board game. We have an active bet for a single game of Monopoly. Loser must jump into the swimming pool there fully clothed. Sounds like fun (Only if it turns out to be a retarded warm day again, that is). So I won't be losing this event. Food making will be in order and there will be fire, death, knives, and vegetables.

Parking for UCI is most enjoyful when the close parking only allows you a pathetic 60 minutes of permit time. However, it has been established that there is more long term parking (up to something like 3 days? It's some rediculous amount of parking time) about 1.75 miles away. Danny is supplying me with a skateboard and my plan is to skate over. I do hope I don't forget anything in my car this time. So, to sum this weekend up, I have homework, Monopoly, studying, and work in mind.

Physics has me on a leash right now and I've been given the confidence of several supportive (and not so supportive :P) friends that I'll do just FINE.

That is the sort of confidence that treads in dangerous waters. Not to be overconfident, I remain awake, still on a coffee boost, attempting to study.

Alrighty, I'm going back to studying. Wish me luck for the exams because I'll need it!

And I should probably make a post about Knotts Scary Farm from 10/10/2008. It was quite a fun time :O
