It Ain't Rocket Science


...But it might as well be! The Engineering class I took for the last couple of weeks sucked every last charge out of my neurons. I learned A TON and if pressed, could calculate the power needed for a remote village, (in kilowatt-hours, minutes, or seconds) and determine a form of renewable energy (wind, solar, fuel cell, even biomass?) suited to the site by analyzing its radiation, available biofuels and wind prevalence. Oh, and I can tell you how to determine and object's potential, kinetic and total energy, how to balance equations regarding volts, amps and ohms.

I can do all of this because the final was this morning.

However, please don't wait to ask me to do this. The ability is fleeting, in fact, fading even now.

Yuck--there was actually a final?
