Physics blows my mind!

Last semester I had finished my last math class needed to graduate, at least that's what I thought. So, for this Spring semester I enrolled in a couple of classes I didn't technically need to graduate because I had all my pre-reqs done. One of those classes was my physical science night class. The very first night of class I walk in to find the teacher passing out papers that were filled with math notes. He then went to the front of the room to introduce himself and tell us that he was going to do the math part of the class first to get it out of the way. What?!? A math class again? REALLY! I was beside myself and wanted to switch classes right away, but I'm no quitter and decided it will just strengthen my math skills. You know all those allegebra classes where everyone asks where we'll ever use this stuff...well, I found out majority of the stuff we learn in allegebra is used in physical science. I have learned so much from this class. What really blew my mind was when we were talking about liquid mechanics. I learned through bernouli's principle how airplanes can fly. I always really wondered how airplanes were lifted by such small wings. Well, it really has to do with the fact about the speed lessening the pressure so the plane can rise. Learning how our world works is so amazing to me and I'm so glad I took this class. I especially like the astronomy that I learned. Don't get me wrong, this class is very difficult, but I really enjoy what I've learned out of it. I've always like biology, but never took an interest in physical science until now. I think my teacher is just very good at explaining everything that I couldn't grasp before in my highschool classes. Also, being older now I see how blessed I am to have schooling and don't take it for granted like I did when I was younger. It's really amazing how well you can do when you really put your all into something. Just wanted to put it out there that if you want your mind blown with every class then you should take physical science. Beware because it isn't a class for the faint of heart. It is very difficult and you have to really put a lot of time into it.
