So, right as I am about to give up my space my tenent brings in another and I have them both signed up for a year lease.

Which means my stressors have dropped by about 169%.

Gonna be a good summer.

The fact that I have an exam in two hours and need quiet time for study seems to leverage zero impact on the other denizens of my home.

I think one of the things that frustrates me about chemistry this term is that the professor is not very good at math, and flips out if we solve problems in ways other than the way she does it, which is really upsetting because more than once I've looked at a problem and worked out how to solve it in a way that makes sense, and she's told me it was wrong, even though I had the correct answer, and then she was like "you have to prove that the math works" and I said "it's all right here, written out, it's just I did the conversions at the beginning rather than the end and multiplied this by 1/2 rather than divided by 2" etc. and then she's like "well if I can't follow it I can't tell it's right" and I'm all AAAAAAARRRRGH
and the way she solves equations makes no fucking sense half the time, plus she gets lost and confused when demonstrating one and then just gives up.

I am starting to suspect that she went onto organic chemistry because it's so much less math than other subfields, but her expertise in ochem is not helping me with buffers or electromagnetism or nuclear chemistry.

There are very few things as frustrating as a bad teacher.
