You Know You've Had Too Much Physics When...

You dream of math.

The first thing on your mind when you wake up is, What sorts of friction apply to situations of rotational motion? (Answer: the same as apply to translational motion. But I think actually working things out with the numbers would take far more physics than I have right now.)

You think it would be fun if someone wrote a story about a character named Zero, who was just an insignificant figure in the big equation...

You engage in an hour-and-a-half struggle with the physics textbook, emerge with a shaky victory, and turn to writing a blog post about...physics.
