:yawn:
I hate it when trying-to-fight-something-off naps end up wrecking my sleep cycle, keeping me from sleeping well at night … which doesn’t help me fight off the sickness. Doggone loops.
And when I think of loops like that, I think of the Egyptian guy who taught my FORTRAN class back when I was but a wee freshman at UAH. I can’t think of “DO LOOP”s without hearing it in his accent, much like I can’t think of Kirkov’s current law and Kirkov’s voltage law without thinking of the Russian guy who I had for Circuits I, especially how he called it “woltage”, just like Chekov from Star Trek would have.
And at this point, I’m just typing whatever comes to mind. Bleah.

Materials science of semiconductors class, very important principle: Intrinsic semiconductor vs. extrinsic semiconductors. *VERY* important distinction. Our Chinese professor mangled both “intrinsic” and “extrinsic” into something that sounded vaguely like “enthensic” (which he said very very fast). It sucked. And it’s a shame too, because I think he actually taught pretty well, he was just hard to understand.
