Entonces cumpliras la mayoria de los puntos de esta lista. no?
Are you a Physicist?
Due to the enormous workload involved in physics classes combined with
stress and lack of sleep, physics students often forget (either by
accident,
defence mechanism, or intentionally) what their degree really is. Thus,
as a
physics student, I took it upon myself to create a small list of
indicators
to help us all remember what we really are.
You might be a Physics Student...
* if you have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.
* if you enjoy pain.
* if you know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long
division.
* if you chuckle whenever anyone says "centrifugal force."
* if you've actually used every single function on your graphing
calculator.
* if when you look in a mirror, you see a physics student.
* if it is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a
computer.
* if you frequently whistle the theme song to "MacGyver."
* if you always do homework on Friday nights.
* if you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative
of
water.
* if you think in "maths."
* if you've calculated that the World Series actually diverges.
* if you hesitate to look at something because you don't want to
break
down its wave function.
* if you have a pet named after a scientist.
* if you laugh at jokes about mathematicians.
* if the Humane Society has you arrested because you actually
performed
the Schrodinger's Cat experiment.
* if you can translate English into Binary.
* if you can't remember what's behind the door in the science
building
which says "Exit."
* if you have to bring a jacket with you, in the middle of summer,
because there's a wind-chill factor in the lab.
* If you are completely addicted to caffeine.
* if you avoid doing anything because you don't want to contribute to
the
eventual heat-death of the universe.
* if you consider ANY non-science course "easy."
* if when your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim
to
have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely, that
according
to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in the universe.
* if the "fun" center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of
use.
* if you'll assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order to make the
maths easier.
* if you understood more than five of these indicators.
* if you make a hard copy of this list, and post it on your door.
If these indicators apply to you, there is good reason to suspect that
you
might be classified as a physics student. I hope this clears up any
confusion.
