She's got a photographic mind. Too bad it never developed.

Understanding Physics

Oh my gosh, you guys. Why didn't I think of it earlier? Howstuffworks.com and other websites that tell you how individual things work will help you a lot more than just trying to memorize formulas. I wish I had thought of it sooner. It's nice to get "Oh my gosh, that makes sense!" moments in this class, finally.

So, I'm going to spend the next hour or two asking "How does a resistor work?" "How does a battery work?" "How do capictors work?" "How does a magnetic field work?" before I do more problems.

If you are doing electromagnetism, a good analogy to think of things is to pretend the current is a flow of water. The pressure is the voltage. Etc.

As for how I'm doing, my body has been acting very strangely. Being hungry all the time. Headaches. I have this terrible crick in my neck lasting up to 2 weeks, now. I don't get it.
