disappointed_lesbianI started reading the first volume of James Clark Maxwell's A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism this evening. I'm going to have to try really hard to stick with it because it's such a dense thing to read for an insomniac. I've had it for years, decades, and have made no progress with it. I want to finally get through it. I can't take long vacations from it or I'll forget what I've already read, then I'll be too demotivated by the inefficiency of re-reading. Or maybe I won't really forget, or will just need a light refresher; maybe the fear of forgetting is all in my mind. I have a horror of certain kinds of inefficiencies.
This book (and perhaps the works it references) is supposed to supplement the electromagnetism text I used in college, which seemed to omit crucial details and/or explain concepts poorly.
I just noticed that the author's middle name is printed "Clerk." I'm familiar with this name; I've read it a million times in relation to physics. I've always thought it was Clark. Have I had it wrong all this time? That would be weird; a couple steps below having Einstein's name wrong for decades.
I'm more than halfway through Bird Box. It's engaging even though not much is happening. Well, creepy, unknown things are happening, but none of the living characters are seeing or fighting monsters or anything so explicit.
Today I researched working in the aerospace industry. It's something that can be done with a physics degree.I don't want to work for a defense contractor, however. I'm not sure what other options I have besides the government.
Entering the job market at my age is rather alarming. I try to not think about it.
I couldn't sleep at the beginning of last night because I'd turned the heat down too low just before going to bed, so I got up and turned it back up. For the rest of the night, I couldn't sleep for being too warm even though I continually got up and turned the heat down lower. Madness. If I cannot sleep through temperature changes, I'll never sleep normally, and I'll likely never get a full night of sleep.
It's unbelievable that this is my life. Why, how have I become so sensitive to changes in temperature? I used to sleep through winter with the bedroom window open and half the bedding. Oh, that was before I started bleeding out all my iron. But I don't know the explanation for ending up so warm later on. Maybe it was because I had crushed iron halfway through the night. Do I absorb the iron so quickly that it'd make me overly warm an hour or two after I've taken it?
