I'm finished studying... so time for rant about school and life!
For those that don't know, I have an exam tommorow in Hydrology. Sadly, I'm not ready in the least. Upon reflecting on the material that I've been cramming for the past oh... two-days now, I had a major epiphany.
Life used to be simple.In high-school, describing solar energy hitting the Earth was as simple as saying "
incoming short-wave energy is mostly absorbed and converted into outgoing long-wave energy"... but in university that just doesn't cut it.
"
It's not difficult or abstract," says the prof, "
just memorize and understand the 'solar energy balance equation'." Well... without a PhD and a life-time of research to fall back on, it's not so easy:

... and to think that equation above basically describes my little blurb about energy. To think that some people believe that the enviromental sciences are easy. If only it was true.
Anyways, I am so pwned for my exam tommorow.
