Physics and Stats

I'm dedicating this post to the two most annoying classes ever. I spent about 3 hours today working on Physics...I'm not sure if I made any progress, but I certainly have a bunch of questions for the professor. Conveniently though, I didnt see any office hours listed on his syllabus. I'll just have to bug him after class.....

As for stats, I'm still unable to understand a word my professor says (much less read whatever he scribbles on the board)... Today though was interesting. We just started a new chapter, Probability.
P(A U B), P(A) + P(B).... that sort of jumbo. We were working examples out on the board and he was getting a kick out of calling on people at random. I knew he was going to call on me at some point because I was sitting in a row with nobody in front of me so I was in plain view. Ten minutes later he says, "You, in the red!" Of course I didnt look up because, well, I was wearing pink. I guess to him, pink is red, because when I finally did look up, the entire class was glaring at me. I answered his questions correctly. He stopped and asked me my name, I answered, and he commended me on my "good work."

Not a bad way to start my day huh? Don't worry, i'll go back to hating stats tomorrow.


I'd like to know what on earth it is they do every night behind my house. Aside from the train that goes by once in a while, I'm always hearing trucks back up and move around... I think they are those trucks that carry gravel in the back. I've gotten used to it though...I'm not complaining really. I dont mind sleeping to any "background noise." I have several. My clock that ticks louder than thunder, the trucks in the back, the train zooming by, an army of birds tweeting away constantly, my neighbors blaring bachata in their yard.... the list goes on.

Lets see, tomorrow I have my full day. Classes back to back until 1pm, then i'm headed to the lab. I put so much good study time in today, I hope I can match it tomorrow.

Mondays....

Theres really not much to say about my Monday..

My tutor has the pox, which wouldnt surprise me if it turned into shingles.

We got nowhere (again) in my physics class. Especially after that wonderful lecture where my prof spent at least 15 minutes explaining to the class his reasoning behind the likelihood that we might all fail.

I went to Quest Diagnostics to get blood work done. It's part of the package apparently when you have high blood pressure. I've been from doctor to doctor over the past 2 months and not even one sticker. Not one.
I'm taking these beta-blockers that are should help me out... I'm keeping track of my progress daily, so lets see if these pills end up working. 117/78 this morning. 127/82 this evening. Those numbers are pretty little things.

I went to the hospital today to shadow the neurologist that I've been living vicariously through since September. He invited me to come to this "thing" called Bedside Teaching. As its name suggests, I guess they learn bedside manners. Unfortunately today, it was cancelled... This thursday, I'm supposed to go back up to shadow the D.O.

Part of me is freaking out about my first neuroscience test this Friday. I've been busting my butt for this test, I hope I nail it. Wow this whole time I thought it was on Thursday and I dont even have class on Thursday. Ah, the delirium is setting in... I think It's time for bed.

Good night.
