Science sucks. I have come to this conclusion after years of trying unsuccessfully to get through different areas of the subject without pulling my hair out. Certain people grasp specific types of ideas (geometric, mathematic etc.) better than others and scientific one are usually lost on me. It's unbelievably frustrating to work with something that you do not understand, and do not particularly care to understand anytime soon. Why don't we let the Indiana Jones and Bill Nye types stick to their thing, and I'll be content to do mine (whatever that consists of is still up for debate). Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind having an elementary knowledge so I'm not throwing random chemicals together and causing massive bodily or property damage to someone (unintentionally). But how bout we save the complicated stuff, the garbage that no average student really needs to know, the the big guns.
Why does this subject come up today, of all days, you ask? Because my friend, I have embarked on one of my most arduous tasks as a writer on this day: I'm going to B.S. my way through a Physics experiment.
"But Ryan, you can't B.S. your way through a Physics experiment, you're talking about science, not history or something....that's like impossible"
"Yes it may be like impossible, but is it really impossible?"
I guess we are going to find out. See here's the thing, I could've gone through an inordinate amount of trouble to get someone's help with the assignment, then struggled through the concepts, which ultimately, I would never use again. Or I could challenge myself to do the actual tests after making a completely random hypothsis, and use whatever small edge I may have with a words to my advantage. Clearly, the latter option was far more appealing, and did not entail me awkwardly meeting someone new from the "University" I attend.
To conclude this thought, I will offer the reader a little morsel for thought consumption. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
....juuuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding haha. My advice is to leave science to the experts, Indiana Jones, Bill Nye, and Incubus.
Anyways, I have once again become as negligent with my blog as I am with my studies. I'll try to step it up again and bang out more than 1 a week. As usual thanks for checkin in.
