It counts in your CIP points, i think.

For some reason, this ties in with Mayo. -shudders-

It's Friday today. The last Friday before OBS, and technically the last official Friday of term one. I suppose i should be feeling relieved, now that i can slow down a little. The past few weeks have been nothing short of monstrously hectic. Yet i still feel a little unsettled. Maybe its the guilt that's built up because i know i haven't finished my homework... or maybe its the thought of OBS next week. i am NOT a outdoors kind of person.

Then again, maybe its just the shock of being one term into sec three already. Geez. Two more terms, and the exams rush up to leer in our faces. 3/4 year more, and we'll be in '07. Time sure passes fast for someone who's not enjoying her life. Thinking about what nah said about "enjoy your secondary school life" or something like that, (remember he said something about all our seniors regretting how they studied too hard?) i wonder if one day i'll look back and wish i'd slacked more. Hmm. I believe its more probable that i'll think "WHY DIDNT I PASS MY MATH AAARGH" instead, but time does strange things to people.

Then, i think about how our seniors apparently had 'three times your current workload' and wonder how they managed to sleep every night. Sigh.

Is it too much to ask to be allowed to rest? SIAs suck.

I was trying to work on RAFT today, and i found out that this:

a polynomial P(X) is separable over a field K if its roots in an algebraic closure of K are distinct - that is P(X) has distinct linear factors in some large enough field extension. Equivalently, P is separable if and only if it is coprime to its formal derivative P′.

Irreducible polynomials over perfect fields are separable, which includes in particular all fields of characteristic 0, and all finite fields. This criterion is of technical importance in Galois theory. In this connection, the concept of separability is of lesser importance if P is not assumed irreducible, since repeated roots may then just reflect that P is not square-free.

The criterion above leads to the quick conclusion that if P is irreducible and not separable, then

P′(X) = 0.
This is only possible as a characteristic p phenomenon: we must have

P(X) = Q(Xp)
where the prime number p is the characteristic.

With this clue we can construct an example:

P(X) = Xp − T
with K the field of rational functions in the indeterminate T over the finite field with p elements. Here one can prove directly that P(X) is irreducible, and not separable. This is actually a typical example of why inseparability matters; in geometric terms P represents the mapping on the projective line over the finite field, taking co-ordinates to their pth power. Such mappings are fundamental to the algebraic geometry of finite fields. Put another way, there are coverings in that setting that cannot be 'seen' by Galois theory. (See radicial morphism for a higher-level discussion.)

...was classified under elementary mathematics. WTF...

and by the by, rest assured. I eventually didnt do it anyway.
Oh, and can someone tell me how to do a ljcut again? it keeps on not-working... ;_;

current homework:
RAFT [overdue]
Chemistry proposal [also overdue]
CME SIA
AEP sketches
HCL test
IH test
Math test [THREE fricking tests in one week.]
geog assignment [due wk 9]
physics SIA [wk 9 also]

you know, it isnt really that much.
comparatively.

You scored as Anthropology. You should be an Anthropology major! </td> Anthropology 100% Sociology 92% Art 83% Linguistics 75% Dance 67% Biology 67% Chemistry 58% Psychology 58% Philosophy 58% Theater 58% Engineering 33% English 33% Journalism 25% Mathematics 17% What is your Perfect Major?

This is strangely enlightening.
On another note, i feel strange today. For once in a long, long time, i'm going to sleep at 10. Only.

And by the by, how many 310 peoples have handed up chem worksheet 2.0? cause i don't wanna do it. Its 15 pages, for goodness sake, mcq or not...

Help me find myself =D

Sigh. Good things never last long... the Chinese New Year celebrations are almost over.

Goodbye steamboat.
Angpaos.
Mahjong.
...angpaos? haha.

I suppose i'm lucky enough that these things have been a staple of my new year celebrations as long as i can remember. Yet, i realise the most important part of the celebration is meeting my relatives again. Cheesy, i know. But even though we all live on the same small island, we hardly see each other except for celebrations like these. Its kinda sad. If only they lived nearer we could play ice-and-fire everyday XD gosh i'm juvenile. But then 'tis hard not to be when they're all so small.

Ah well.

Current homework load:

ying yong wen (1)
"xi guan" reflections
IH essayS
math worksheet 3.2
lang arts motivational speech... (oops.)
geography ws (x2)

what can i say? I've been sick for a week or so. Big sigh.

Sigh. This is my first entry in a long long time. Me just hasn't been in the mood, recently. This is for Jass, who tagged meh XD
