junior.

I haven’t done physics since high school, and the feel of a TI-83 in my hands is bizarrely nostalgic for the days of thick as anything wooden tables and metal chairs that leave behind a rusty smell when you touch them. And Mr. Fabo - awkwardly standing in the middle of the room weilding a meter stick cracking a so un-funny it actually is funny physics joke.

On tuesday our professor (complete with awesome thick German accent) informed us that Physics “is the hardest class you will take at Duke.” I felt a ripple of indignation go through the premeds in the room. I don’t like premeds. I don’t admit to being one unless forced to do so, and I definitely do not enjoy being in a large room filled with them. However, physics is my one non-reading intensive class, so maybe I will actually relish it, enjoy the problem solving, number crunching, formula deriving goodness?

Generally speaking, school is fun :) However, future planning/thinking about getting a job/medical school stresses me out. I want to stay in school and take fun, semi-useless classes forever.
