I despise Physics

I only have about 2 months now until I graduate, and the only thing standing in my way is Physics 202.

Words can't express how much I hate reading about this electrostatic, charge related nonsense. I'm a computer scientist for goodness sake. I don't need to know anything about electric fields, or dipoles, or even charge for that matter. All I need to know is that electricity flows magically into the back of my computer, and allows me to write programs and be paid for those programs. This should be the fundamental theory of physics for computer scientists. The second, and last, being: Electrical things (such as computers) do not mix well with water. This concludes your physics material, pick up your diploma on the way out.

I think my trouble with physics might result from the way the book explains the concepts, or a conflict with the way I learn and the way the author presents the material, or maybe it's just my brain. I just don't think I have a brain that operates in a manner necessary to apply these physical concepts to problems in the book.

I sit in class, and I understand the concepts... they don't seem that difficult in general. I even understand the example problems that the teacher works in class. Once I get home and try to work some problems from the homework set that apply the concepts in a different manner, though, the gloves come off and physics and I duke it out.

I'm only hoping that I can score high enough on these tests, and finish enough of the homework that I can get a diploma at the end of this quarter. I've had one test this week already, with another in Discrete tomorrow, homework for physics due tomorrow, and another test in physics on Friday (covering the first 5 chapters). The only thing I'm worried about is physics.

God, if you read my blog, let albert einstein's ghost whisper answers into my ear during the physics tests this quarter.
