Hello, everybody! I've been rather silent for the past few days, haven't I? Well, sorry about that. As you can imagine, finals are a bitch. A real giant bitch. And then you add in work (I'll be working over the Christmas vacation), and you get a real fun time.
BUT NO WORRIES! I have survived the first round. I told them the reasons why Americans had the upper hand in the Revolutionary War. I fell short, unfortunately, in describing the political, social, and economical effects of Southern Reconstruction. I blame the fact that I didn't study that part of history, mainly because there were more pressing issues, like not studying anything. I then topped it off by finding theta in sin Θ = √2/2 and other assorted bullshit (like factoring polynomials, graphing sin, cos, and tan functions, and creating logistic functions when given the limit, initial value, and a specific point it must cross).
Overall, I think I destroyed the math test. APUSH . . . well, the second essay was shit, the multiple choice was over a chapter in the text book that I didn't read, and I had problems focussing. We'll see how well my grade is.
Anyway, tomorrow is Biology, and then Friday is English and Health. After that, I am free to start writing. This is also the point that I tell you guys that I do have plans on updating Nightmares before the year ends. XD I will also be done with my contest story by then, hopefully. So, don't say that the story is dead yet! I promise you, it isn't.
Anyway, that's all I have. See you guys starside!
Integration is cool
1622781
Yes, yes it is. No it's not.
Oh, yeah.
I feel ya on the finals stuff. I'm majoring in Chemistry atm.
So much math.
1622798
Yeah, I remember taking Chemistry. Just fuck oxidation-reduction reactions. T_T
1622850
Well, the math part sucks. But chemical reactions are my version of pillow talk.
Yes, talk your sexy formulas to me textbook. Tell me of our impending covalent bonding.
1622784 u wot m8
1622850 Lel we were doing oxidation numbers in le Chemistry 12 today
1622882
u havin' a giggle m8
Must have sucked. lel
1622866
Whoa now, you getting a little too frisky with that there textbook.
1622896 Nah, it's very easy. Just basic algebra

1622798>>1622866 Butt the math is the best part!
1622903
Ahh, I see. Well, I suppose it is time to go blow shit up with these reactions.
I heard Francium and water is the best mix.
1622907 Doo eet, zigger!
1622903
Sorry bud, but the math'll always take second fiddle to that Periodic Table. *salutes*
1622907
Or Sodium in the fish tank.
1622994
Actually, I'm just going to make some Bose-Einstein condensate. I can do so much awesome shit with that.
1623038
My friend, I think we're stepping out of Chemistry and into the field of quantum physics here.
1623048
Naw, that would be if were were trying to make a quantum tunneling-resistant transistor inside of a computer.
1623068
Okay, you're just pulling things off of Google now aren't you?
1623074
Oh, no, I actually know quite a bit about that. XD I found out about this through a friend who was talking to me about Moore's Law, which states that there is a limit to processing power due to the limit of size of transistors. This is actually a major problem, as America is basically run on being able to continually buy more and more advanced electronics. Moore's Law ends around 2015, which is around the time we either invent a new way of building transistors or collapse.
1623089
Ahh.
(An understatement, I realize.)
Stole that picture from me!
1623095
It is actually a very interesting read, both Moore's Law and quantum tunneling. The basic idea of quantum tunneling is that it is a phenomena where a particle (in the case of computers, an electron) literally tunnels through a wall that it generally would not be able to surmount. This is used in electronics through tunnel diodes, which are placed in between anodes and cathodes. This allows for very fast processing. The connection between tunnel diodes and Moore's Law is that you can only build these transistors with these tunnel diodes so small, and you can only place so many in one motherboard. So, yeah. Interesting stuff.
Yes, I do something fruitful outside of the fandom. XP
1623104
Stolen? Why, I am hurt you would make such an allegation!
1623106
That actually does sound pretty interesting! I have to admit, I didn't foresee using quantum mechanics in something as commonplace as transistor construction, but it sounds like it would be neat to see!
And I don't doubt it.
Just wondering, what level of education are you in and what year of it?
1624759
High school, Junior year.
