Working on autocad. Listening to music. Listening to my history and theory and philosophy of architecture lecturer talk about fractal geometry. Thinking of my ex.

Heh... so, having absolutely no background in Trigonometry at all (no, not even high school), and having to use it in my Physics class, a Youtube video just did for me in like 2 minutes what my Physics teacher couldn't do in in 2 days.
F*cking sohcahtoa. Y u so awesome?

Seriously though, it's good to realize that a lot of the stuff that has held me back in math stemmed solely from the fact that I never paid attention in high school, and not because I'm still an idiot. I just always lacked the basics that everything else was built on. I learned that the hard way when I did College Algebra (which I passed with a high B, first time around. That's miraculous for me, considering I didn't even know how to work with fractions going into it...) Admittedly, not ever taking (or remembering) any sort of trigonometry prior to taking a college level physics class was sort of a dumb move, (I thought it'd be a conceptual class) but thankfully it turns out pretty much every sort of calculation we'll be doing is Trig-based, and I've managed to watch a couple videos and learn pretty much everything I was like "WUT" about when the instructor was busy assuming everyone already knew what he was talking about. (not his fault, I guess.)

^ Congrats on self-teaching your way up to college level trig, Freebase. I still remember learning Some Orphans Have Curly Alburn Hair Til Old Age when I was at school.
^ I spent years working in architecture too, not with Autocad but with a system of "pens" filled with "ink".

i'm actuallycontemplating taking a post-grad in quantum mechanics
i mean, my understanding of thereotical physics is pretty sound, i could understand the Theory of Relativity well enough even if i didn't have a root in relativistic physics |

My source for free green is now "laying low" in another town...so I've been out for a while. Got my hands on some more tonight...so it's gonna be a niiice relaxing night.
On that note, I will be blazing to Episode I in 3D next Friday...sure it's Episode I but it's freaking Star Wars. Personally, I think the prequels are really entertaining.

I'm waiting for them to do the original trilogy. I don't want the prequels to leave a bad taste in my mouth when the originals come out. I would love to blaze up first though. That would be...godly.
