How to fry the sound capabilities of your laptop

Follow this simple steps to make your laptop mute forever:
  1. Sit down in your desk and get comfortable.
  2. Put your earphones on. If you do not listen yo music, it is OK. You will look cool.
  3. Place a blanket over you, to protect from the cold, or to look cool (or miserable).
  4. Now, take the blanket off.
You will feel a slight electric zap on your ears, and hear some weird sounds. Try singing just so you verify you are not deaf. Now you can check that your computer has just lost its sound capabilities due to the static. Damn you electromagnetism! You took away my precious music! Oh well...

There was no particular reason for me to have my earphones on. There was no reason for me to use the blanket since: 1) it was not that cold; and 2) I had a jacket I could have wear. But still, I followed this simple steps....

This week has been so depressing. On Monday I had the Classical Mechanics midterm. I was able to fully solve one problem out of three. I worked my way around the third, but I had to hand in a poorly worked second problem. I do not even want to talk about last week's midterm on Classical Electrodynamics.

I feel so tired. Yet I totally did not rested during the weekend. At least I am done with grading now. Problem set #5...
