waiting for inspiration

Hi! My name is Ibrahim and and i'm a romantic.

There! I said it! and I do not mean it in the "romance" novel sort of way but rather in the "views the world through rose tinted glasses" manner.

I am cursed(blessed?) with the affliction of being unable to apply myself much to anything which does not "grab" me by the balls, anything which does not give any inspiration.

Why global regularity for Navier Stokes is hard

First things first, how many of you out there know what the Navier-Stokes equations are? (quickly googling this NOT allowed)
I do! They are a set of equations used to describe the turbulence of flowing fluids.
What does this have to do with this blog?
Probably Nothing at all.

The point is a lot of places i've been and alot of the people are know describe me using one of several euphemisms ( I know what those mean too! ) the most common of which are "sharp", "smart", "intelligent" even.
I scored above average in my secondary(high) school education and I've just sat for one of those free online IQ tests where they ranked me at just one point below "gifted".

All this yet I cannot manage to hold my own on campus and I get kicked out on academic ground for failing over HALF of my units!
