LaTeX RoX

I have a crapload of work due next week. I was even assigned a paper in two of my classes. I've always hated writing papers, I'd much rather just take a 2 hour test and be done with it. So with these papers, I've decided to do them with LaTeX. Despite my lousy writing abilities, at least the thing will look good. Learning all the code for writing something in latex hasn't been too difficult. Although, I had to fight with it today for a bit in trying to get a fancy diagram showing how negative temperatures are achieved. But I finally got it to do what I wanted, and let me tell you, it looks damn good. The paper is on statistical mechanics, so I got to put in all sorts of fancy equations and LaTeX can just do it all and do it beautifully.

Every document I write from now on will be in LaTeX.

Here's a pdf that gives an introduction to LaTeX. Get it, because LaTeX slays!
