Dynamics is proving to be rather difficult. The keys on the left side of my keyboard have broke, so I have to tap them a bunch of times before they'll work, but after that they continue to work until I stop typing for a few minutes... I guess it's like a short or dusty or rusty circuit or something.... I'm gonna pick up a new keyboard at Walmart this Sat.

I'm working on differential equations right now, and I just read the next problem and it's one of those problems that I know I can do if I write stuff down as I go, but I can't wrap my head around it all at once, so I know it's gonna be time consuming, and I know I'm way too tired for that one... so I'm gonna leave some blank space and ask the teacher to do it in class tomorrow....... she normally has the answers online, but she doesn't this time and I'm very unsure about the quality of my work. I hate word problems. I like math and I just want to do equations, but I know that's not how it will be in the real world........maybe I'm not cut out for engineering..... anyway, if nothing else, I could teach this stuff like a baws.... Or switch to just being a math major -- I would really like that, but I don't know how much money professional mathematicians make. That's it! I'm gonna talk to my advisor about becoming a math major who takes computer classes from time to time.

Today after lunch we got coffee and there was this really pretty girl in there. I complimented her hair to start, because it looked cool, but after that I was just stumbling over my words --and I know she was giving me a chance, because she asked me about myself and I asked back, and she seemed interested at first. I kinda screwed it up, though. It's not like I said anything stupid, I just didn't say anything smart (as in witty or indicative of my having social skills at all). She's a kinese major, so I probably won't see her again for a long time. I didn't even remember to ask her number or anything. ... oh well, too bad.

... Welp, the next and last diffQ problem asks about the one previous to it. Not gonna do that one either. That puts us at 3:45AM, waking up at 7:40AM. If I go to bed now, I can get 4 hours of sleep.
