i guess it is like that ny times article. about minimising the damage. being confronted with that jellyfish molecule and not f*ck*ng knowing what the f*ck was going on. you just... mop up the damage as best you can. that is basically where i'm at with the test tonight.
i should have spent the weekend focused on the concepts. setting up the paper set-up with the values we need... but instead i bailed, rather. spent most of the weekend watching youtube videos reviewing different models of calculator... researching how much different kinds of calculators aid / vs crutch learning... i know far more than i'll ever need to know about calculators...
having a meltdown realizing that most people are programming in numerical approximations of the formula... just need to alter the values for the details of particular questions we'll be asked. they have it all set up nicely like an equation...
they won't be doing calculator memory resets.
i...
the thing to do is to just not care. back to focusing on the textbook... using my new calculator properly... things will come together for me for the next test...
whatever / however other people do their thing... is none of my business.
