So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
The problem with physics exams...
Tuesday, March 4, 2008 @ 3:27 pm
...is that the harder I study for them, the lower I score.

I got a frickin' B-! Ugh, I am disgusted with myself, but only because I know what it feels like to get an A on an E&M midterm.

I swear--I had it once!

But now, that feeling is nothing but a distant memory.

One more test. I think I can still get an A in the course overall, but it will require some work.

But maybe not as much work as it would seem. Because that, my friends, would only get me a B-.

And on a sketchy, wholly unrelated sidenote:

I went back to my old high school today to pick up my sister from honor band.

While I do not want to ever be a high school student again, I have to say... upperclassmen boys young men at my high school were (and still kinda are) hot.

Except teenage boys have their own special problems that make them less than ideal mates (the illegality of such an arrangement set aside).

Oh, to be young, beautiful, and well-adjusted! I'm just hoping I'm the last one (and I'm working on it... slowly).

And, in tangentially-related news:

Pictures of the new tutors at work were posted on the bulletin board today, along with the pictures of those who already worked there. Right next to my picture is the picture of the cute new tutor who helps with writing.

He's French and has got such pretty eyes! Seeing our pictures next to each other, I thought... Wow, we'd totally make one good-lookin' couple. But alas, it is yet another case of "Not gay, just European."

Your highschool has got to be loads different than mine, then. My friends and I were just discussing the other day about how the situation is so bad here that it might be better to go for girls instead. :P

Tell some of them to move to my area. :D

haha... there were not hot guys during my highschool days or college years. T__T

I can ever understand Physics. I might try to learn it again some other time but I doubt it'll be that way.

HA. You should see this TERRIBLE french movie that I saw the other day. If for nothing but the fact that it has this cute gay french high schooler from Breton in it and he sings this line, "Je suis beau, jeune et breton
Je sens la pluie, l'ocean et les crepes au citron"
I mean, he's kind of a stalker, which I guess makes it less morally awkward when the older guy ends up banging him, because I mean, he's not that much older, and the high schooler WAS stalking HIM and not the other way around.

It's called "Les Chansons D'Amour"
I think maybe I'll write an entry about, it but not today, not today, non, non, I must do work.

OHHHHhhh
BTW, we were talking to Srog the Dane, and my friend was like, "Yeah, I guess he's good looking, for a European." and Srog was like, "WHAT do you mean by that!" and we were trying to explain to her how you have to totally recalibrate your gaydar when you go to Europe and it's just confusing. She agreed that perhaps "extremely skinny trousers" were not really the best fashion that Europe has ever invented. And h-e-l-l-o, the Euro-mullet-la?!?
