You know you´re ...

... a physics student

• if you have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically (lol, the best one).
• if you know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.
• if you chuckle whenever anyone says "centrifugal force."
• if you've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.
• if it is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.
• if you frequently whistle the theme song to "MacGyver."
• if you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water.
• if you think in "math."
• if you've calculated that the World Series actually diverges.
• if you hesitate to look at something because you don't want to break down its wave function.
• if you have a pet named after a scientist.
• if you laugh at jokes about mathematicians.
• if the Humane society has you arrested because you actually performed the Schrodinger's Cat experiment.
• if you can translate English into Binary.
• if you can't remember what's behind the door in the science building which says "Exit."
• if you have to bring a jacket with you, in the middle of summer, because there's a wind-chill factor in the lab.
• If you are completely addicted to caffeine.
• if you avoid doing anything because you don't want to contribute to the eventual heat-death of the universe.
• if you consider ANY non-science course "easy."
• if when your professor asks you where your ppaper is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely, that according to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in the universe.
• if the "fun" center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use.
• if you'll assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order to make the math easier.
• if any sentence starting with the word "consider ..." makes you want to smash your head into a wall.
• if you get rage attacks when watching films and the physics doesnt make sense ... cue: "Star Wars, I love you, but how would you actually SEE a laser bullet?!"
• if you can't talk to "normal" people outside your course/job without feeling the overwhelming urge to talk about electrons.
• if you can fill an entire notepad with notes without writing an actual word.
• if you call hills "inclined planes".
• if you laugh at all the chemists who say they 'understand' quantum mechanics. In fact, you just laugh at all chemists in general.
• if your friends constantly ask you if you understand things. This ranges from cloud to nuclear bombs. Whether you do or don't understand, they're disappointed.
• if you genuinely wish the world was frictionless, without gravity and that all moving objects were spherical.
• "Normal" to you means perpendicular.
• if you know the Greek alphabet better than the English one.
• if your jokes involve famous physicists, and your chat-up lines contain trigonometry.
• if you laugh at completely different parts of Big Bang Theory then your friends do.
• if you get nightmares where you get chased by infinity symbols in your calculations.
• if you are happy to consider imaginary rotations through Minkowski 4-dimensional space-time, but the opposite sex is definitely TOO complicated.
• if you make a hard copy of this list, and post it on your door.
