I'm back to feeling like astronomy makes sense when I'm in class, and then the homework just doesn't seem to. The book is much better than last semester, but in one of these problems, I swear I'm asked to prove something that isn't true, and then something else when I don't have nearly enough values for my variables. I may not finish that problem. I also got an answer for one of the problems that has the right general trend, but I'm pretty sure is still off by maybe 30 orders of magnitude? Maybe not. That seems really big. Or small, actually.
That said, I read 140 pages of Fitzgerald for class (god, I hate this man), which leaves me only 70 for Wednesday, which seems very doable. I have 100 pages of Cosmology journals articles to read by Monday, which seems very, very daunting, and two quantum mechanics problems, which I'm trying to convince myself won't take as long as it probably will.
And I get to grade astronomy homework, which at the moment sounds more enjoyable that cosmology reading or quantum homework, but is much lower on the priority list. Oh, and I should probably do a practice GRE before I take the real one on Tuesday.
Oh, how it is to be back in classes.
Anybody have advice on grad school in the UK? I'd love to go, just to go out of the country, but I hear they won't pay me, like the do here in the states, and I gotta say, I'm pretty sure that's a deal breaker. At the same time... grad school in the UK! Could be awesome.
