damned problem that won't work out right...

[ateolf]

Gene Simmons was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire last night...this event caused me to be unable to do my homework, durring and afterwards...such an event completely destroys all ability to concentrate on physics and calculus and everything else that requires any small amount of intellect...so i woke up this morning but then after a few minutes decided to just stay asleep and skip classes...i didn't have my work anyways...blah...maybe i shouldn't've but i did...

now, i have this take-home section of my calculus exam (tomorrow)...it has two problems...the second was really easy...and i'm mostly finished w/ the first one, but the last part isn't turning out right...i have to find the torsion of this curve, which should be a constant multiple of the binormal vector's derivative...but the middle componant keeps coming out positive while the others are negative...what this means is that something's wrong...but i've gone over all my work thousands of times...and i can't find any errors...arrgh!!! it really sucks...he (my professor) also said the curvature and torsion of this problem are prob'ly the same (he might've said he wasn't sure though...) but what i have isn't the same, even ignoring the inconsistant signs...blah...

and i don't think i'm going to be able to make the karaoke fun rock happen this wed...i really really want to, as i really really really don't want to be home on Valentine's Day...as being home gives me too much time to think about stuff and being out w/ my friends and having fun is a wonderful distraction from this horribly sadistic holiday...(my entire life i've yet to be not single on Valentine's Day...) but tomorrow i have my calculus exam, wednesday i have my physics exam (which i'm *really* under-studied for...and it's the first exam, covering everything we've done so far...), and thursday i have several papers due in my spanish class...my teacher's been out of town for over a week...i might be able to get this stuff finished, but i'm really slow w/ the spanish...and i doubt it...but it depends i guess...

Oh Good God, I really was looking forward to hearing you belt out some more tunes on Wednesday . . .
FUCK Valentine's Day, it's just another hallmark excuse to make people feel like shit if they don't have somebody going all lovey-dovey over their asses, but the fact remains that I want you at Neil's (slight clarification: I want you to BE at Neil's).
Daric had 4 years of Spanish in undergrad, can he help out with Wed. night's homework??? I'd realllly like to see you out of your house and among friends . . .

Torsion? What the hell kind of Calc is this? ok. end of random comment

torsion = magnetude of the derivative of the binormal vector
