My physics teacher says there’s a test tomorrow. 

“Review chapter thirteen.”

The kid with the curls is called up to the front. 

Angular momentum. 

My moment of inertia is much too large. 

I’ll retract my arms soon. 

An object spinning tends to keep spinning. 

That must explain my mind. 

Chapters upon chapters; not enough time. 

I’m free — free in four days. 

Initial angular momentum is equal-

Two finals...one quiz left. 

Keep your sanity. It hasn’t moved forget-

stop staring at the clock! 

Momentum not conserved for circular motion. 

But that’s how it goes, right?

You spin in circles…

circles. 

You spin in circles…

circles. 

Then suddenly 

everything slows

down to a

stop.
