one of these days i'm going to tie grant to a chair and duct-tape his mouth shut... maybe if he can't move and he can't speak, he'll be forced to listen.

we were working on our statistical mechanics homework tonight, he insinuated that because i possess the solutions to the homework problems that i am committing academic fraud. he is absolutely full of shit. not only did i not use the solutions i had but i solved the problems on my own. it was simple algebraic relations with a bit of calculus. it was by no means rocket science. maybe he was just jealous that he wasn't solving them properly. when he went to ask the prof a question, the prof even told him his math skills were poor. and to clarify, this professor lets us use whatever sources we deem necessary to solve the problems as long as we aren't copying a peer's homework solution and as long as we document our sources. seems pretty reasonable to me to use whatever sources i want, as long as i understand the work, am able to explain my solution in full, and i document my sources. fuck grant. he needs to grow up. he needs to understand that he can't make his self-righteous sweeping generalizations, he needs to understand that he includes many people he may not realize within his generalizations and things that come out of his mouth are hurtful. tomorrow is a brand new day. a day where i only have to see him for half of it instead of the thirteen hours i spent with him today.
