Today was a really good day. Not outstandingly so in any way, but I had a general feeling of satisfaction.
First of all, I did all my homework. [Well, except German. And I carnt bleef she checked it, too. Gawd!] Since we have the same book as last year in calc, a lot of the problems were familiar; it was satisfying to be able to do them. And then he gave us an AP question for extra credit and he was all flustered when he looked at my work. I didn't use the definition of a derivative to solve it, which was what he was "looking for," but my way was tolly shorter and easier, so whatevz. I was proud of that.
In physics, it's the same deal because we're still doing review stuff we did last year. I had all the homework problems correct [except one where I messed up the sign] and I got to write one on the board. \m/
Too bad we don't learn everything twice. Going over something a year later is just the right mix of challenge and familiarity.
In math/science, that is. If it were a humanities class, going over it twice would make me kill myself.
Talking of math/science, I'm tolly jellus of Nina, who is having a r0x0rin' time at MIT. I wrote to her for computer advice, because I'm thinking of getting an eMac to replace my old computer [the motherboard's fried, which slightly sucks ass. I'm losing hundreds of .mp3s, quite a few photos, as well as other personal documents. However— always look on the bright side of life!— it gives me the opportunity to let go and move on, which I might not have been able to do otherwise. I have difficulty throwing things away, deleting things. Need more fresh starts, clean slates, empty hard drives. Rebirth!].
The computer repairman offered to build me a custom system for ~$900, but if I'm going to spend that much money anyway, I feel like I want a shiny new Mac.
Which was largely inspired by my looking into availability of the iMac G5 for work [that computer is bloody sexy!]. The ad with the Black Eyed Peas amuses me. It's still not as classic as Ellen Feiss, though. I'm tolly switching in her name.
Does anyone else think of comments as blog karma? Whenever I go and leave lots of comments on people's blogs/ljs/xangas, I feel like I deserve lots in return. Maybe I'm just greedy. ^~
now you have the weekend to relax and do work at your leisure
Hey, my name's cindy. i was looking up the Laramie Project and this website came up. I was in the show at Upper Dublin. I was reggie fluty, the cop, and also some other characters. I was wondering what you thought of it, and also where are you from?
That is a pretty tight commercial!
In response to one of your previous blogs, I paid special attention to the position in which males and females carried there books at school and HOLY SHIT YOU WERE RIGHT. I have a couple of theories of why this might be...a main one being that girls hands are generally a lot smaller thus preventing them from securely hanging onto books if holding them at side. YEP. KBYE.
omg mac. buy one noooooow.
although once you buy one you'll be obliged to attempt to convince everyone you know to buy one also. sigh.
