Double Shotgun
Thursday, December 14th, 2006So I finish my calc exam with two minutes to go. I put down my pencil after checking it, satisfied with what I could come up with. I felt I did pretty good, except for maybe one or two tricky ones, but that’s pretty good. So my prof comes up to me and takes a look at my exam. Then he puts it back down and says “You still have two minutes.”
It’s a good thing I’ve learned to just accept that I’ve done a good job and not obesess over half a percent, because if I wasn’t me, I probably would have been frantic in those last two minutes. It turns out that I almost, but didn’t quite get, the complex number trig integral question, but meh.
Complex numbers are like a double shotgun.
As one of my friends put it, “That’s a great metaphor to remember. Wait, no it’s not.” Oh, that crazy Chang.
