Lather, Rinse, Repeat, Delete

Well, the verdict is in, and I failed O Chem. I'm not real happy about this, but I have 3 "repeat, delete" classes and this will be one of them.

What is "repeat, delete" you ask? It is a process wherein you retake a class (repeat) and the former class grade does not count against you (delete). If I'm in luck and get to pick the classes I do this for, then my GPA will greatly improve. If not, I'll learn while retaking CS153 this upcoming semester and I'll choose my final pattern more carefully.

For those wondering, there are a few pointers for physics:

Kinematics: know the formulas, love them. (although you can derive 2 from the other, if you've taken calculus and know what it all means).

F=m*a This one is useful all through life... especially when you have kids. You going at even 1/3 the speed of a given child, can still deliver a world a hurt upon arrival. Suddenly, mass is your friend.

g=9.81 Don't let those bastards try to shove that, "but you can round it to 10," crap down your throat. It's a lie. Three significant figures, baby.

Circular motion is just kinematics over the radius... don't let it intimidate you. (You didn't think I'd make a "torque" joke, did you?)
