How to achieve happiness in life
Set your expectations really really low. Embarassingly low. Shamefully low. I'm not saying you should look at life in a perpetual state of depression, but for those times when you don't know what the result will be, just expect the worst possible outcome.Then, when it passes, you'll be happy that it wasn't the worst possible thing that could've happened.
Yes, I got that physics midterm back just now. And no, the grade actually wasn't as bad as I had thought it could be. So today's a good day.
And this morning I had my half-hour of relativity for the entire summer of number-crunching. No space-time diagrams involving Klingon ships and photon torpedoes, no funky how-much-younger-is-Bob's-identical-twin-if-he-travels-at-x-velocity-for-y-amount-of-years problems. But it was good, I suppose. When the prof talked about how Einstein's postulate explained that the speed of light was constant to all observers (whether you're moving at 1/3 the speed of light or not moving at all), there were audible murmurs of confusion. And I was sitting there, grinning gleefully and thinking, "Yah, isn't it so coool?????"
God, I'm such a nerd.
