Nah, by normal, I meant applying to graduate school and getting in. Different topic. I know it is stupid, but I did not realize what you said until this semester. I mean, I did homework, but that was it. I realize that might be part of the solution. Not all of it, but a vital part of it...

Generic white male here, sorry. :) So, it looks like it is possible, but you've got to push it. I should clarify: I hope my GPA will be over 3.0 by the time applications come around, but even if it is, that is still liable to be thrown away. I got mechanics, thermo+stat mech, and...

Um... No? I am hoping the changes I've made/making will come into effect.

So, I'm wondering, Suppose a couple years from now, I've applied to physics graduate schools, but I can't get in anywhere due to GPA issues. My physics GPA is decent, if not outstanding(mostly B+'s and B's so far. I'm hoping I can change those into A's next year, when I'm dealing mainly with...

Well, it doesn't really matter now anyway, I turned in the homework several hours ago.

Homework Statement Wow, the site looks way different from when I was last here. Nice job to whoever did this! Now, to business... My question pertains to part 2a of the HW. I've gotten the wavefunction in terms of the spherical harmonics, but I need help bringing it on home, so to...

From what I've read, he seems competent enough. However, I can't predict where China will be going in the next decade anymore than I can predict where America will go. Ultimately, it will take time to tell what this new generation will do. Hopefully-at risk of sounding like a cliched...

Trust me, I know.I'm on the phone with my mother and we are arranging it.

Another thing that is making me happier is being a lot more open minded about my future(I don't where I do my Phd now nearly as much, and I'm questioning whether that will be what I do at all) and keeping it all in perspective. I'm not sleeping in a Jakarta slum. I'm fed. I've got a family who...

True-it could be that it is tied in with my condition. We will see. I found lbelk's advice rather useful, at least for today.

I prefer dogs, Evo. :) I'm putting the idea to practice right now. All of what you say makes since, and that is what I will do. I'm a first semester sophomore, btw. And if things really get bad, I know I can come to PF to rant now...

^ Now THAT was along the lines of what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm leaning toward thinking it's neurological in nature. After all, a doctor is a doctor... I've paid attention to some of my skills lately in paying attention and other stuff, and they need a fundamental change, which I think medication might help. If I were to...

Thank you very much. I am in a very calm mood right now, despite all the bad tests lately. Maybe because I talked to my professor, and I've also become a little more rational now that time has passed... I will discuss medication with my parents tomorrow. I'm still a little uncomfortable with...

I went there earlier, they gave me a bunch of links to off campus sources, which cost money and time to schedule. I have to really focus this month on coursework and research, so I don't know if I have time to do anything now. After mid-December, I'll have a few weeks with nothing to do, so it...
