You know, the really funny thing is that when we did the tutorial for this, I could do everything. I really got this topic. And now I don't understand a thing. It's not even like I didn't listen in lecture, this is like one of the few physics topics (topics in general, actually) that I paid attention.
Anyway.
Gravitational Potential = -GM/r
Gravitational Potential Energy = -GMm/r
Gravitational field strength = GM/r^2 = F/m
angular velocity, w = 2pi/T
tangential velocity, v = rw
centripetal acceleration, a = rw^2 = v^2/r = vw
centripetal force, F = ma = mv^2/r = mrw^2
Yay! Now to launch a satellite into orbit.

I'm so sleepy. This is the first double post day in a long while. Lol. Supposed to be sleeping already. Bah. I realised when I'm tired I don't have the capacity for form proper long sentences. Which is happening now *yawn*

It feels so wonderful to be able to wake up leisurely tomorrow and just study the day away freely instead of being dragged to school and forced to work there =) yay!
I found my pencil box. Whew. And Soft Bunny is my new study buddy =) In theory he'll help me focus. I hope so. Haven't really tried today. Oops.

It's funny that the place I find it hardest to be a real Christian is in church. I can be a great, fantabulous, absolutely wonderful fake Christian. It's absolutely easy - with all the bright smiles and the pretending to be the closest of friends (except if you actually look closely I'm just carefully plopping myself on a carefully calculated place in the pew - just enough space so that when the people who are really in the clique arrive they won't kick me out, but close enough that I look like I'm part of it). The signing up for every activity that is planned - or going to support it if need be, even if I didn't want to sign up, the joining of all the committees - fellowship outreach worship WHY AM I SO STUPID ARRGH! Leading worship, doing my bible study, doing my quiet time, going for choir, doing outside bible study - I don't even need to do these things, but I do it anyway! Because if I don't, I'll realise I'm not actually needed, not actually missed, not actually wanted. It's ridiculous! And what's more, it's unravelling. I stop tagging along for lunches, stop pushing my way into a talking group, stop plopping myself in the middle of the front left pew, stop volunteering every question for bible study - and this is RIDICULOUS because I know that I'm hurting myself AND others and OH this is stupid I'm being unfair to the one or two people who actually care I shall just shut up and go to sleep.

It doesn't feel like Chinese New Year. Not nearly enough visiting and all.. Each year, it seems to be getting less and less. People keep dying, families keep breaking apart - it's pretty sad really. Well, anyway, Happy Chinese New Year! Haha
I should count my blessings. A few weeks ago, I realised that not everyone has happy, whole families. I mean, I always knew there were people out there with divorced parents, or family troubles, and all, but it never really hit me that a lot of people out there don't. What hit me most was the casual way that person said it - "It all dies off after a while. I mean, it's not like they fight or anything, they just don't love each other anymore."
And then - "Yeah, mine too."
"Yeah. I thought everyone is like that? All the parents I know are."
"Yup."
I was just shocked, I guess. At least one other person spoke up - "No, my parents aren't like that."
I agreed - "Yeah, mine aren't like that either." And there was also another flurry of agreement, in the end majority had parents who "loved." But what really struck me was the casual, accepted way it was said, and the fact that it wasn't just one, but a few who said they had families like that. And they said it as if they thought it was normal, as if they didn't know it could be anything different...
I don't know if I'm being naiive, or insensitive, or whatever, but well, I'm really glad my parents are my parents. Despite everything, I really am. =)

I wonder if it's possible to fall in love with someone you meet in a dream?
