Pint a week for a student? You must have very good grades.

I went to W&J (a private college that loves to party) and am now finishing out my law school at WVU (which parties no less than the undergrads) and have been an A student all the way.

Over loving of beer doesnt necessarily equal bad grades.......although i am writing this in class...:cross:

Man, I wish. I can't wrap my head around differential equations. This is a wee bit of a handicap for things like Calc and Physics.

Come to think of it, one of my friends told me I just need to relax while I'm studying and I'll get it. Maybe some beer would help things along.

Or at least make it more bearable.
 
:mug: May be you need to take some of your brew to a sorority and make friends,hint( drunk chicks= more sex)! It's quite possible you may like sex more than drinking beer.:D And you may need to brew more!

That's because DiffEq's is a totally illogical (i.e. smoke and mirrors) way to solve a math problem. Drop that on an engineering/technical type, and you've got instant confusion. Quantum Mechanics was cake compared to DiffEq's...

As for drinking; If you reach a frustration point, one beer can get you to relax a little so you can get past the emotion and get back to the material..

Agreed. At the time I took DiffEq's, I was a math major, and it still took about 5 weeks through the course before the light bulb turned on. Stop thinking so hard and suddenly you get it. I was quite the math demon at the time and when I told people I didn't get it at first but then suddenly figured it out, they couldn't understand why (and it is impossible to explain). I would just tell them, "You know those posters with the random looking patterns and you stare at them and there is supposed to be something there and you just can't see it, then suddenly one day you relax and look at it just right and see it and can't figure out how you didn't see it all along. Yea, ... its like that."

Yep. DiffEq's is not math, it's magic tricks. You must first stop trying to solve the problem and just accept that the solution presented works. A very tough thing for a right brain dominant to do..

It's been 20 years and while I know that it works, I still think the methods are highly unorthodox...
