Last Laugh

Today I had the last class with my HL group. We thought we'd have a class photo but I couldn't get in it because it was me with the camera. The class is actually a bit bigger but some decided not to turn up. Good job I didn't go to any trouble to make a cake or anything. Finished the syllabus on Tuesday so today was a bit of exam technique and some course feedback. I don't like to finish too early since I get bored going through everything very fast in revision classes. The other day  had a revision class on nuclear physics with my SL group, within 50 minutes we covered, binding energy, electricity and magnetism, the big bang, stellar evolution, radioactive decay and Jesus. Sometimes teaching physics is like telling a very long joke. You start of with a problem which takes you here there and everywhere before you reach the punchline, a solution.

No, I haven't climbed that cliff in the background but I've thought about it many, many times.
