i've also totally lost the plot on going to bed on time
god it's only day two of class and i feel so so so so very behind
#it's 1:30am and i can't sleep because i miss my friends so much#and i feel so out of place at this program academically#like socially everything is fine#but i know none of the basic astrophysics stuff that everyone else seems to know#like we went over some basic physics stuff on em radiation and i was so so so vibing with it#but then we got to applying that to pics of galaxies and seeing what all those images at different wavelengths could tell us#and so many people had so many correct thoughts and ideas about what they showed and i had literally never done this in class#like i have not seen that as an exercise#and one of the profs for the class felt the need to address allegstions from last years students that there was too much pure physics#in this course#and how there is actually a huge benefit from looking at astrophysics topics/problems from the perspective of the#fundamental physics that forms those topics/problems#and i was so confused?#like astro is just an application of physics#so of course you'll have pure physics in it?????? why would that be bad???????#that's like the whole point??????#so idk#i just#like everyone else has astrophysics degrees and i have a physics degree so i have very minimal astro background#so i just feel very much like the odd one out#especially if other students are coming into these classes expecting idk to not see the fundamental physics#while i'm over here still confused as to how you'd talk about the topic without that?#and so many of the other first years have gone to astro confrences to present their work and stuff and i have never been to an academic#conference at all#let alone an astro one#and one of our first hw assignements in a different class is plotting astro data w code#and i've plotted stuff before but never astro data and soooo many other people have#wow sorry this got so long#zip quips
