We actually got to do calculus in my Calc class, so I was happy. I can now derive vectors. No idea how this will help me yet, but hey, it's a start.
During my 2.5 hour break, I took a nap, took a shower, and took another nap. Then I wrote a "Thank You" letter that was required for my SCI 110 class.
English had us walk over to the Church Fine Arts Building, where we got to analyze a chosen work of art, out of a gallery of 14 professional pieces that were there for the moment. We only had to write one page, within the hour and a quarter we had. The teacher was accepting people turning it in early, and he would give them helpful comments on how to make the thesis better, remove useless sentences, etc. So naturally, I felt like I was being judged for all my sins as I walked up to him to submit my work. I felt doubly like an idiot when I looked at other students and realized I was in a minority of people that double spaced my whole page. Mercifully, he approved of the paper, and let me turn it in without revision. I was extremely relieved, and was out of breath all the way back to the dorms from the pressure that had been removed from my mind. I obviously don't like being judged. On the bright side, I got out 30 minutes early and walked back to the dorm to relax for a little time.
On my way over to the Davidson Math Building, I noticed something I found amusing, and thanked my lucky stars I made it to college, and wondered what else I would find myself shooting pictures of during my time here.
Computer Science is continuing to puzzle me, as we got into math functions in Programming, and a new function called the Modulus (if I remember correctly).
SCI 110 was boring as ever, I honestly feel like I'm in high school when I enter that class with the minority of intelligent beings that have it with me. I'm starting to make a dent as "the smart one" when I responded to someone asking if (if you don't know calc don't try to get this) the integral of sec(x) was sec(x)tan(x) or not. His friends were clueless, so I spoke up and told him it was the derivative. Then I responded to another brainiac's question of "what is 1+1?" with the well known (to me) answer of a window. I overheard someone say "he's too smart." Then we got into groups of 2, and I bored myself with answering a clicker quiz with my partner. I don't know my major very well, but hey, I never professed to. At least I answered all the questions that were answered in the class so far correctly.
I went "home," went to eat, then went and did all my 7 calc problems for homework in about 40 minutes. It's funny, now that I'm doing calc in calc class, I actually can do the problems faster in my head. I was amused. And for once, not throwing a temper tantrum as I worked. It helped I was alone and no friends were distracting me.
Until I joined them after I was done, and they started watching Charlie St Cloud. I may have opted to stay with them, but they apparently thought I was being too noisy as I was searching (without speaking) on my phone for something to show them. So I went back to my room and wrote this all out. Don't know what I'll do with all this time without them.
