Summer school can be fun if it isn't a full course load. 1-2 courses is plenty.

Gives you time to work, make money, and go out.
If you take a full course load, or too many accelerated courses, you might be headed down the burnout path.

Just my 0.02.. But then again, I've never been really good at school discipline. So maybe that's my bad

Man...matte clear plastidip SWP BRZ? Should I do this? I feel like matte white is ultra badass.

lol, those 2 are just easy linear algebra plus super super nasty calculus. At the heart is functional analysis, but that's a very specialized area of math.

I just finished quantum mechanics pass/no pass last week as my last class of college, barely scraped a pass I think. It was dreadful.

A "modern physics" class where they only give you the basic formulation is pretty good though, although if they don't tell you the Hilbert space formulation then it will seem more complicated than it really is. If you know linear algebra at the math-major level, then you can get the gist of QM in 2 minutes if someone explains it the right way. Unfortunately, physics people are pretty terrible at explaining so it took me longer.

I have the option of taking physics in the summer, 6 weeks long roughly 17 chapters of integral physics over electricity and MAGNETISM. Should I do it?

Do you need it or just want it? Sometimes a break can make a massive difference.

That's because antidisestablishmentarianism doesn't have an I and an E right next to each other.

He could move here and have to write that on an envelope (if anybody writes on envelopes anymore).

It is actually how I say "That is a nice dress you are wearing you look great" after about 16 beers.

You are going to Vegas, so I'm sure that's good information to know.

I need it. And the class after it, both are required.

Don't forget Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch, Gwynedd, Wales.

Then it could take some pressure off later course loads so that may very well counter any benefit gained by taking a break now so may be worth doing.

[cdrazic93]

As the decision has come, the class is full lol. Ill just 'study' with the rest of my group whos taking it. Ill get some benefit without the risk and stress to prepare me for fall quarter

I only have two classes left, those two. Cant do both at the same time, 122 (electromagnetism) is the pre req for light and waves, (123)
