Chapter 7 of Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics

Well I've been up for a few hours, and here I am at night, midway through swimming the brisk cold English channel that is chapter 7 of Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics (my first problem set is due Wednesday - six problems), and... well, just look at this despondent, sepia-toned picture!

Oops, I didn't think it would be that bad... :rolleyes: (highlight to read):
it's a bag of coffee[/color]

Or look at the same object photographed with flash and reasonable exposure time:

I'll tell you what's a tragedy. You live in Pittsburgh and you didn't know who Ben Roethlisberger was until he fell off a bike!
 
I didn't live in Pittsburgh before Ben Roethlisberger fell of his bike...
 
Then again, I've forgotten who he is anyway.
 
I always have a jar of instant coffee on hand, just in case. Like tonight for instance, studying for a Social Studies exam... arrrggh, definitely my least favourite subject. If it was not for coffee I would be sleeping without a doubt.
 
Help me I'm falling sleep!

I'm too dizzy to remember which one's E and which one's B. :zzz:
 
Okay, I'm coming to. I'm awake, I can follow along just fine, it's just that these darn evanescent waves keep oscillating. I can't make them stop! Back and forth, back and forth... so sleepy...

Oh no! The horror! It's winter in Pittsburgh...you should have more adequate emergency supplies...what good is stocking up bottled water if there's no coffee to add to it?!
