An adviser from a short period this recent semester under the BS Electrical Engineering program contacted me yesterday following up on my enrollment for the second semester but I said I was still waiting for the final grade in differential calculus because I am not confident that I passed the subject. It's 50 / 50 because honestly I'm still weak at math particularly continuous math as opposed to discrete.

Differential Calculus is a prerequisite for the compressed Physics for Engineers course and also for Integral Calculus course.

The Chemistry for Engineers I got a good grade so far.

Not sure what other courses are also up for enlistment this second semester. Let's see but I'm not going to load up many courses this second semester because I know the physics because it is shortened but needs to cover a wide topic and integral calculus are both demanding and difficult.

Lacking the time so instead of going to the gym I just went for a haircut and groceries.

On the other hand I was worried about my friend in Israel. We were having a social gathering yesterday but one of my friends was actually having problems.

Turns out there were siren warnings in her area and yesterday Israel was battered with missile attacks by Hezbollah.

Good thing my friend is still alive but I can understand her uncertainty in the situation. Might be traumatizing for her.

In Lebanon I also have a friend who went offline for 2 days now which is unusual. Lebanon has also suffered attacks lately from Israel.

Also got friends in Ukraine and Russia and the same thoughts came to mind that somehow there is a chance that maybe tomorrow one of my friends is already dead.

War is human stupidity.

Interesting government politics in my country. A VP directly threatens the President of an assassination.

Our politics have leveled up

Spending time mostly socializing with my friends online in some metaverse.

Lazy today for a long distance run. So no run today.

Talk on Computational Chemistry is finished. Learned a few things on the introduction to the field:

- A number of computational chemistry software but ORCA looks the best at the moment.

- Simplified Schrodinger equation Hamiltonian x Wave Function = Energy x Wave Function

- Schrodinger equation does not take into account relativity effects, need Dirac equation for it!

- The role of Schrodinger equation on electron orbitals.

- Guassian LCAO
- Density Functional Theory

Almost went to sleep but then I remember there is Computational Chemistry.

In progress.

Feel lazy for a run tonight so let's have it tomorrow daylight.

Ordered pizza cuz I'm craving for it.

Most of all body muscles aching from yesterday's gym workout.

Difficult to walk and squat cuz I killed my thighs, butt, and hamstring yesterday from my gym workouts.

Cancelling the run. Will do this tomorrow.

Preparing for a 30km run tonight.

The institution where I enrolled on a distance learning for AB Political Science program back in 2018 has responded. They will have to check my records first.

So what's the use of an AB Political Science degree in warfare? It teaches you game theory in a social context (specially adversarial social networks) giving you a breadth and depth of knowledge that will be useful in strategy. One can predict the stability of regions, the movement towards conflict and eventually war. It gives a framework to understand the behavior of adversarial actors. Hence, the field of political science is of significant importance to intelligence analysis.

Preparing for gym.

Missed that. Computational Chemistry talk is happening on the 23rd instead.

Time for me to sleep

Computational Chemistry, it's not 4pm PSTbut 10am PST. A few hours from now.

Computational Chemistry topic at 4pm PST inworld at some Metaverse. Not sure if I will be awake at that hour let see but I want to attend.

Maybe the solution now is to do a dual degree, meaning alongside BSEE is AB PolSci.

I did enrolled on a AB PolSci self pace distance learning in 2018 but I never progressed and left it unofficially. Let me try to contact them if I can still continue and because it is self paced, it is more manageable to do alongside my BSEE.

If that is the case, I will be able to finish 2 degrees, BS Electrical Engineering and AB Political Science. The AB Political Science has a number of courses for International Relations. No need to get a Masters in International Relations and I can still continue on either a graduate school in engineering or physics after the dual degree.

This will open a lot of opportunities for me to work directly or indirectly with UN and NATO alongside my combat skills and will give me a social network that will help in establishing 2 companies: Defense and Energy, and the Private Military Company.
