Find the (3x3) nonsingular matrix A if..."socialism has a human face"?

Studying for finals is never easy. I have two on Monday: Linear algebra and History of communism. Needless to say, right now my life is looking a little bleak at the moment.

One thing that does not help me a whole lot when dealing with finals is the fact that I seem to forget what I learned in the beginning of the quarter. What the hell signified that a matrix was singular again? How do I find out if a basis exists or not? How do I find the eigenvectors and eigenvalues for a given matrix?

The answer to all of those questions is a big fat: I don't know. Truth be told, communism is way easier to study for than math, so I have been putting the latter off. This is quite unfortunate.

In the end, I envy my roommate. She has the time to play with her friends, to essentially do nothing day after day. Being a Dance major, I'm assuming all she would need to do is go to class and dance. I'd love to just go to school everyday and dance. How wonderful of a life is that? The most stressful thing she had to do this quarter was to write a big paper. I've had to write two 6-8 papers, study for 5 exams and 3 10%-weighted quizzes throughout the year while at the same time completing 400 pages of reading and doing two math homework assignments every week...with the addition of econ practice problems (not mandatory, but I did them anyway for practice). Needless to say, I'm pretty busy.

As a college student should be right?

I'm writing this post though. Heh. Back to studying.

Happy Birthday, Mikee.
