RR (19): Yesterday

Yesterday was the last official day of school for 2009. It's also the last day we, 405, will be 405, for next year we'll be disbanded. (?) Well, mostly. I don't think I'll be with some of my classmates (now) I'm more familiar with next year. Let's assume there're many people in our current level, so we can ignore the exclusion principle. (I think 200+ is large enough.) Split (randomly) over nine classes, I should expect about one and a half of my classmates to be in the same class next year. Then again, I suspect this is hardly randomised. For one, there is correlation: people who intend to be in the same class can choose the same subject combination.

Well, yesterday's stuff. We cleaned up the classroom pretty fast. And then we headed up to the netball court on the fifth storey to play captain's ball. It's quite a popular game, apparently. Some people didn't go. (Off-hand I think this is Timo, Ian, Shaun Lee and Andre. Andre joined later though.) We were playing for quite some time (and during that time I epic failed, having passed the ball to the opposing team at least 3 times (even though I blame other people)) and then at roughly 10:50 I got hit by the ball in the chest. Ouch. I thought I was fine. Turns out it really hurt, after I went to get the ball after someone else threw it out. So I sat down (at the side of the court, not in the court) for a while. And then I went back to class. I saw some people there. Yeah. Whatever. So I was sitting down getting my mind of the pain, while Ian was trying to induce laughter (maybe subconsciously), which obviously was not a good thing.

So anyway. I went home. No big deal actually; by then most of the pain subsided. And then because I was ridiculously tired for some reason, I quickly took a bath and a nap. (In that order. I don't normally bath early, and I don't normally take naps in school uniform.) And then for some reason it started hurting again. Wtf.

I think that's about it. Oh wait, the progress report thing. Yes. I failed Physics (D+). That is a very interesting thing to know. I don't like dealing with thin lenses. They're far too hand-wavy: "we can assume the light bends at exactly the central plane of the lens since it's thin", and "the focal length is somehow related to the radius of curvature". You know what? If the lens is sufficiently thin light will go through without refracting significantly. Mirrors, on the other hand, make much more sense, because they can be solved (sometimes). I say "sometimes" because there are practically unsolvable systems, exact or numerically. (There are chaotic systems of mirrors; generally (but not always) the conic sections are non-chaotic, but combinations of them that are simple closed curves are.)

I also passed both Evolution and Molecular Genetics, B and C respectively. Okay now, Shaun(s), I don't need you to mock (or more colloquially "suan") me over my grades. I'm not going to elaborate much on the rest of my grades. That's not important.

What else happened yesterday? Let me think. Uh. I don't think anything else important happened. Yeah. kthxbye
