Oooooooh man, physics time. Every time is physics time. Then again, every time is Zombo time, if you believe. You can do anything on Zombo com. Oops, I got a bit lost in the mesmerizing website. Darnit. In my physics C class we've gone through quite a few units in the past couple weeks, starting with energy and going into centripetal motion, work, and now POWER! It's been fun, but I'm not really looking forward to the next test. Oh boy though, Modern Physics has been exciting! Just kidding, we're learning general relativity and I learned that last year in Astronomy. Oh well, at least it gives me more material to make inside jokes during Physics C with my fellow Modern friends. Speaking of gender ratios though, there are literally only two girls in the Modern Physics class... out of a class of 30. It's a bit better in Physics C, with maybe 4-5 girls out of 30. Oh well. A lot of people are in both classes, which is cool. Oh yea! We aren't actually doing general relativity in Modern Physics, because tensor analysis is really difficult math and not even Mr. Stormberg understands/can teach it. Soooo we've been deriving a lot of our equations using classical mechanics, which gives us some pretty wrong answers when dealing with black holes.
Wait, this is a blog post for independent study? Oh thats right, it is! Well, I'm going to find some way to integrate what I've been learning into code, but i'm taking my time to do that. Also, I should make that "about me" presentation soon. When do you want those to be made? I figured I'd go first or be one of the first, but that means I have to make my presentation, first.
