LLAB!!….and ….calc…

Well, today is the first Leadership Lab of the year for AFROTC. I am not really all that sure what to expect, but everyone I have talked to seems to like them as an “easy” class, so I can assume I will not be any different, I will update everyone tonight. I have been having quite a time with Calculus. The homework that is written is supposed to take an hour a night, so two hours per class. I, however, finished the first THREE assignments in 28 minutes. And from what I have heard, not a single person has spent over 50 minutes on all the assignments total. I guess my teacher was covering all his bases with the whole time thing. Hypothetically, it COULD take you two hours for the first assignment, but that would only be the case if you just had an abacus. The Maple takes a lot longer, but still, two hours?!?! The teacher is kind of odd and likes to prove every single equation and formula he uses… but does not expect us to do so… ever. Most of the 50 joyous minutes we spend together every other day is spent proving and reproving simple things like the Pythagorean Theorem and other such nonsence. Also, “junk” seems to be an acceptable math term to him. “So, if we integrate I times this junk, and divide by three times this junk…” Maybe on the next test I will use that in some of the proven identities for integrations… it seems a lot easier than actually doing the work.
