Not Telling
I coulda sworn we had a homework help board but I cannot find it, so yes.
I'm in the middle of an area problem, and I'm stumped. It's a silly question but can anyone tell me the antiderivative/integral of cos^3(t)? Surely it's not (cos^2(t))/3, right?
Wait... woah, trippy, it's 0, isn't it? but how does one realize that without looking at the graph?
Also, okay, the actual question is, "Find the area of the region enclosed by the astroid x=(a)(cos^3(t)), y=(a)(sin^3(t)). ... but is it just 0? can I do that?
confused. I hate calc.

Argh! Confusion
04 January 2007 - 02:18 PM
None of you care, but I'm feeling whiny
So at school there are two guys - well really a lot more than that, but... hm. okay.
First, here's some fun little character abstracts (
)
Dylan (Dyl) - A goofy, funny, political sciencey-type of nerdy. One of my best friends in school. Likes jazz and talking really loud. Slight stoner and doesn't drink.
Amrish (Rish) - Dyl's best friend in high school, really intense about his high school sweetie. Really suave and charismatic, is a third-degree black belt in tae kwon do and his father owns an oil company. He wears lip-gloss, moisturizes, and is generally pretty full of himself. Is a poet and therefore thinks he is amazing. Big stoner and drunk. Will punch holes in walls when drunk.
Orion - comes from a small town like me. Kinda whorish, likes wrestling and acting a lot, has already played lead in a play as a freshman. Big stoner, big drunk, has been known to snort codeine. Is quiet but blunt.
Chapter 1.
First, there's Dyl. I met him before we actually started school and he has a crush on me.
Then, Dyl's best friend from high school, Rish, who also attends my college, and had a long-term girlfriend when he came.
Rish's girl wanted to see other people, and I having gone through the long distance/college thing, helped Rish through it with her.
Dyl and I kiss and I decide that it wasn't gonna work out. He still likes me.
About a week later Rish's girlfriend breaks up with him seriously, and when I comfort him he kisses me. We mess around after a few nights of hanging out without Dyl knowing it.
One night as I'm about to spend the night for the first time, Rish tells me that he and his ex never messed around - never in two years - and he's a little freaked about it now but he and Dyl plan to visit her in WashU and after that, he'll fall out of love with her and be able to have a normal relationship.
... Riiight.
I say I don't think you can fall out of love like that and after we hiss at each other a little bit, I leave. Things are weird until that weekend when he leaves for WashU.
Chapter 2.
I'm sitting in my room alone when my RA (generally an authority figure who discourages and punishes first years for drinking) comes in and asks me if I'm going to the party tonight. When I say no, he TELLS me I'm going to the party tonight, and hooks me up with some sophomore girls who drunkify me for the first time.
I get really really drunk.
At the party I stumble upon Rish's roommate and floormate, Mason and Orion respectively. Orion and I dance most of the night.
Backstory: Orion is a manwhore. He slept around so much in that first month that the other guys couldn't even keep track of it, let alone keep up.
He takes me home.
Hehe, I'm bad.
But no! I'm good. See, he puts me to sleep because he's worried about how drunk I am. He helps me take my contacts out and shit, and then kisses me very gentlemanly-like and goes home.
A few days later he invites me over to watch tv, and I make a move. We mess around.
Okay I'm bad.
Chapter 3.
Rish comes back and hangs out with some other chick without ever saying anything to me about anything.
I'm confused as fuck. Not concerned, but confused.
Orion and I hang out every now and again, once or twice a week, but it's nothing serious. We keep it on the down-low.
Halloween rolls around. In front of a big group of people, Rish calls me out, saying that Dylan is worried I hooked up with Orion because Dylan still likes me.
Anyone confused by these many people yet? Wait for it.
Later in Rish's room I tell Orion about Rish's douchiness. Orion says that not only Dyl has a crush on me, but so does Orion's roommate Tim. And Tim is kinda freaky about it, like hissing at Orion for texting me and stuff.
I don't even know Tim besides when Tim happens to come home after Orion and I are... you know.
Rish passes by while Orion and I chat and chucks a condom at me, because he's an asshole.
Orion and I continue to chat and mostly he's worried about being a good friend to Dyl and Tim, not wanting to pull me out from under them. So we continue to be down-low.
hmm, I've got to get ready actually, but I'll continue this later.
Some people may think I'm making this shit up, because why the fuck are so many guys into me? Honest answer, I don't know. There's just an underabundance of girls at my school, I suppose... grr

Another random look at what Jill's been doing
24 September 2006 - 01:09 PM
Hey, y'all, I'm going to university in the #10 out of over 300 schools ranked "Students Never stop studying" so... yaaay... (aside from that, it's a great school, Grinnell College in Iowa, check it out if you're not against small towns with big diversity) I've been doing alright but I'm so busy. Here's some stuff I made up before coming to school in case anyone cares...
That's my second cousin, isn't he a friggin doll?
Next semester I'm planning to take a digital art class *dance!!!*
