Apr. 10th, 2015 01:53 pmMy pens finally came! And with them a renewed desire to study ALL THE PHYSICS and take ALL THE NOTES on fucking everything and I cannot explain to you how hyper my brain has been for the last 24 hours. I'm not entirely sure why.
Anyway, the pens are here. I've discovered something about the Khan Academy way of teaching physics that really works for me, having all the types of variables both when it's displaying "Vi, Vf, Ac" and when it's displaying the actual numbers, each in their separate color? That makes things make so much more sense in my head. So I went ahead and ordered a bunch of colored gel pens in very fine tips because I apparently need very fine lines to write very small, and they finally fucking got here. Woo. And now all I want to do is go home and open the packs and copy over my notes.
I have become such a ginormous school-type studying dork now, when I'm out of school. I don't understand it either.
(No, I partially understand it. Even in my school, which was so much better than public schools being bent to the will of No Child Left Behind, I was a bored and restless and hormonal teenager who wasn't always interested in what they were trying to teach us, nor could I necessarily always understand. Nor could I swap around lectures and teachers like I can now with online courses, to try and find someone I could understand. So. But it's still funny.)
ALSO. Also. I managed to figure out a mini-arc, sort of a set of infixed scenes in Sandborn that need to be there that might actually push it up closer to the word count for the size I want, not to mention not skipping past a whole lot of important development. The day continues to bear riches and gifts. And my brain continues to be hyper. And I continue to wonder if this is what functional feels like, if this is what I was missing most to all of last year. Which is a bit of a terrifying thought really, considering how different this feels. Ugh.
I did not, in fact, get my words done at work today. I got everything else done! Not words for Nano. That's going to have to happen later. And Hindi, can't forget about that, but that's fine, it's Friday night, I've got plenty of time.
Assuming I'm not too busy fucking off with my new pens.
... I could always write my Nano with my new pens. Hmmm.
