You ever dance with the devil under the pale moonlight?

Here's the cause of this shT, more statistics, deeper than the laws of physics

Don't think for a second that I'm repping Batman, sunshine. Shout out to everyone who remebers The Firm album. This a quick plea for help from any local nerds willing to volunteer 3 hours of their life to a worthy cause. It's not like any local nerds actually will read this in the next 36 hours, but oh well...fuq it, right? So basically, our NSBE chapter is taking our NSBE Jr. chapter down to the conference this weekend. The shorties won the Try-Math-A-Lon qualifying match in October and thus have a shot at comepting regionally. They've been studyting and getting tutored the past few weeks on Tuesday and Thursday after school at UMass-Boston and the midget and I swung by on Tuesday to lend a helping hand. For the most part, the team as a whole is on top of their math game, but man oh man, physics is the devil incarnate. That shT had me going batty for a good 30 minutes. I'll admit, I was never the illest physics student in the first place, but damn yo, I swear I was one of Dr. Boorman's best students back in 95-96. So what happened? Son, either my brain cells fried, that shT got way harder, or I must have mistakenly thought I did better than I actually did. At least I was able to breeze through the math practice test. A couple of ratio problems, some percentages, some exponent multiplication, some long division; it's all good. I got you. As a matter of fact, I even got to play teacher for a bit, with chalk dust caked up in between by thumb and index finger as I demo'd several sample probelms on the board. Felt good. Definitely will file that one under 'need to revisit.'

But when you start talking about wattage and joules and force and work and effieciency output and kilojoules; ring the alarm, please. Your boy needs some assistance. I was that deer in the headlights. The phrase 'the blind leading the blind' can be so poignant at times that it ain't even funny. So if you're reading this and think you can lend a helping hand this Thursday, holla at the kid. They'll be there for an extra hour, from 5:30-8:30pm trying to get all the last-minute cramming as possible in preperation for the next day's voyage. Hoepfully, we can come back on Sunday with big cheesy grins and something to show for all of their hard work. They're good kids and are putting their best foot forward. That's all that reall matters anyway, right? Word.
