3 posts in a day...that is pretty good.
So, to continue where I left off...physics test is on Friday...we had a review today, I have about 12 pages of material (only single sided) to study from. The professor said that everything we need to know for the test is on that review...so hopefully i'll be feeling confident by tomorrow night.
You may be asking yourself...sure, that is cool..this guy hates the dark knight, and he hates physics...but what does he like?
Well, in school, I like biology. I'm working on getting into graduate school and going on to get a PhD in immunology or bacterial pathology. Germs rule!
When I'm not in school, I'm playing video games, or watching tv, or watching movies. Me and my girlfriend Mariana are huge fans of LOST and battlestar galactica. Speaking of LOST, the Dharma initiative is looking for new volenteers to fill their ranks.

Most of the time i'll fill this blog with stuff regarding this stuff, although as my senior year goes by, i'll probably start complaining about the graduate school application process.
Fun right, I know!

V=IR, and other useless physical relations
So, I'm sorry for the rushed first post. Me and my girlfriend Mariana were at the school library, where she was printing out scientific papers to read as she researches where she wants to go to graduate school. When we were ready to leave, I tied up my post real fast. Actually, I should be doing the same thing she is doing...but all this summer physics nonsense is a lot more work than I thought it would be.
Yes, I am taking physics over the summer. Since it is the second session at my university, I'm in physics 2. Thats electricity, magnetism, and optics. fun. The first midterm is on Friday, and it's covering electricity and magnetism and DC circuits. Just so you know, I'm not quite ready for it. I just don't like physics, and all the studying just makes me feel like i'm going to do bad on the test. I got a B in the first session of physics...which isn't bad, since a lot of people that were in my lab got D's, but it isn't want I wanted, and I surely don't want anything less than a B in this session.
The school is trying to make everything fancy and online, but instead of doing it gracefully, they are doing it shittily: i'll explain. They want us to fill out and submit lab reports online. Okay, the students say...fine. I mean, we have to hand in a paper version of the lab report anyway, so it's basically like doing 2 lab reports instead of 1...but whatever. THEN the department magically loses the second lab information. So everyone has until the end of the summer semester to redo the second lab online. So now we are doing that one three times, instead of the already crappy enough 2 times per lab. Good right? Plus all the homeworks are online, and sometimes when you put in an answer with the wrong sign, and the computer will tell you 'your answer has the wrong sign'. okay, that's not bad, i'll just change the negative to a positive. But wait...when you submit that answer, it also has the wrong sign....is there a third sign I missed somewhere?

thanks physics, how I love thee,

Smart Omega: The Begining...
So this is the blog I've been talking about for the past few weeks. Here is a quick and dirty introduction. I'm a biochemistry major going into my senior year of undergraduate school. I play a lot of video games. I like watching LOST and Battlestar Galactica (although I have not been up to date on the most recent season). I also like to see movies, and then like to say how much I hated them. This applies to Batman.
Actually, thats the reason why I wanted to make a blog. To express how much The Dark Knight sucked. I hope some of you out there realize that the hype was all because of Heath Ledgers death. I must admit, I had a good time finding Heath Ledger inspired "LOL WHERE R MAI PILLZ" lolcats, but once he was plenty dead and buried, I stopped caring. That is until batman came out. And everyone was amazed at the amazing performace of the Joker. Give me a break. He had a total of ~20 minutes of screen time, and okay, he was good, but not worth all the hype. Dear oscars...if you give Heath Ledger an oscar, I will continue to not watch you.
Thanks
