Mathematical irony and Chemistry progressions

"In life, you must have a focus. But you don't necessarily need to have a vertex, and hence Mathematics is quite pointless."

You must be thankful that I posted this after Maths promos, otherwise after this quote you might not be motivated to study for the silly subject anymore.

Anyway, YL gave me the ultimate motivation today while I was gearing up for Chemistry.

(Background: I was doing Chemistry Revision Papers, not of my own accord, but rather because my teacher gave 'em out and uh, I have the June holiday revisions, September holiday revisions and past year CTs ALL NICE AND CLEAN. So I started doing some MCQs, arguably the easiest part because you can still rely on luck.)

YJ (me) - Okay I'm going to check my answers.
*flips to the back to check*
YJ - wth?! ALL WRONG?
*double checks*
YJ - ####! (mugging causes stress) THIS CANNOT BE! I think the answers are printed wrongly. (self-denial as usual, but oh well)
YL - Let me try to see why you're wrong.
*then the n00b took a bloody long time to figure it out while scribbling all over my paper and quite obviously, being chem cocksters, he didn't get any answer whatsoever*
..and if you know YL well for the bugger he is, he refused to give up -.-"
YJ - Eh enough la! You're wasting my time. MY TIME IS MONEY. I NEED TO MUG, DAMMIT.
YL - "You're not mugging, you're making mistakes."

Ouch, ultimate killer blow.

Hence concludes the two-part post for today.

Irony (Fe-y) in Mathematics and progression (I wish) in Chemistry.

Inter-disciplinary work, though our discipline is not only questionable, but interrogatable. Therefore don't be too happy you are doing inter-disciplinary work, it means you have interrogatable discipline. Well, if mine even exists.
