Hands

My professors have just finally decided that they want to know how much I have been learning, so I just had my first test on Tuesday in abstract algebra. It was pretty easy, and the professor handed out solutions as we handed in our tests, and in checking over those, I think I got a 100, but I guess I can never be sure. She said she'll have them graded by Tuesday, so I'll post then, too. I got my first exam in probability today, and it's take-home! Yay! I've finished over the first 1/3 of it tonight, so it should be very simple to get the rest done by next Thursday (when it's due). I also have a test this (maybe next?) Friday in discrete math and one this (next?) Wednesday in modern physics. Complex variables will also have some test sometime in the next two weeks (next Tuesday, I think). Either way, it should be an entertaining two weeks.

I work a lot this weekend. Noon-5 tomorrow (Friday), 5-Midnight Saturday, and 2-8 Sunday. And I have HW due Monday. And I really want to celebrate Nathalie's birthday with her at some point this weekend, too.

Tuesdays

Tomorrow (Tuesday) Star Wars comes out on DVD. Tonight, my manager honestly asked me where I was going to put the VHS tapes for it on the shelf.

Babies

Brooklyn is really smart! My mom kept telling me about how Brooklyn likes to go to Playhouse Disney's website and play the games online, and I kept saying that she wasn't really playing the games, but just telling my mom what to do with the mouse. But just the other day, Brooklyn wanted to play on my computer, so I took her to that site, and she can play some of those games actually all by herself! I was really amazed by how well she could use a mouse. She plays this game by choosing what picture she wants to color then clicking the mouse on a color she wants and then clicking in the certain areas on the picture to make them that color. She can even redo it if she doesn't like the color! So smart! And she can play this one by clicking on a letter on the right of the screen and putting it in it's correct spot on the picture of a word. I just thought you'd all like to know how smart she is.

My nose is decongested!

The last week has bee so busy with school/homework/Blockbuster/Dune/sickness that I haven't really had any time to post. And I'm really, really tired right now, so I'll post tomorrow. For now, sleep well. And remember, despite what the customer says at Blockbuster, The Pasison of the Christ is not a documentary.

NEW POST!

Ok, so I know I haven't been the best blog host in the last two months, but I just haven't had any real motivation to post. When I stopped posting, there was no real reason to post because everyone who read the site I actually communicated with. And I just got into a small rut where posting just seemed like a waste of time. But now I realize just how much I actually liked writing random crap on my blog, so I'm back now, not that any of you actually care, I'm sure. However, I will update quite regularly from this day forth. If I stop for a couple of days, you have my permission to beat me up until I post again.

So what's been going on? Let's see...Nathalie got back from Argentina, I went to QuakeCon, I got a job at Blockbuster, Olivia got back from boot camp, and I started school for the fall semester at UTA. I've heard lots of fun stories from Nathalie and Olivia about Argentina and boot camp, respectively, and all of you know how much fun QuakeCon was, so I'll just leave it at that. My job is lots of fun! I have such cool managers, and the atmosphere is of such a place where I have always imagined I'd like working. Plus, I get five free rentals every week, which is a major benefit. The job isn't hard either, so I'm not using up all my energy that I need for school. UTA is really cool, too. I'm having so much more fun this year already than I was either of the two semesters of last year in South Carolina. Being home and closer to everybody turns out to be exactly what I want and what makes me happy. And now I get to spend my nights actually sitting with Nathalie instead of talking on the phone from far away. And it's infinitely better this way, even if we are just doing homework a lot of the time.

This semester I'm taking Intro to Modern Physics, Intro to Complex Variables, Abstract Algebra I, Discrete Math I, and Intro to Probability and Statistics. I like Abstract the best, I think, because it's just lots of fun to do the problems, and I probably like Probability the least, just based on the nature of the class. I'm only taking it because I hated the teacher I had the first day of Analysis I, so I had to get out of that class. I figured that I should take a probability course at some point in my college life because I really never want to look at probability or statistics and just ignore anything dealing with them. I want to actually know how to work with them.

Anyway, that's my post for today, and there will surely be another one soon. Tell all your friends! I love people reading my site, and I promise that I'll post a lot. Give me another chance!! PLEASE!! I'll post, reading people; I really will!
