Snippets

• Okay, I feel sufficently stupid. Really. I had my first math class last night and God am I dumb. It was like a foreign language. The prof was using words like " variable," "constants," "exponential expressions," "rational numbers," "irrational numbers," "integers," "natural numbers," " real numbers," "addition," "subtraction"... it was horrible! I suppose it didn't look good from the start when he asked if we knew the difference between rational and irrational numbers and I thought "Irrational numbers are numbers that have no common sense." Yeah, it's going to be a long semester.
• So there's this girl in my Comp II class that makes every statement a question? It's really annnoying? I'd like to put my foot up her ass?
• My sister and her husband are moving into their new house this weekend. *cough* I'd really like to help, but *cough* I'm really starting to feel under the weather... *cough*
• Do you remember those little mnemonic devices from grade school? Like, My Very Extravagant Mother Just Sent Us Nine Parrots for the planets? Well, I guess I'm not a complete math idiot, I did remember this for the Order of Operations: Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. Now, I wonder if Aunt Sally is a math whiz?
• I hate it when people try to get on the elevator before letting people off the elevator. I hate it even more when they give you a dirty look like you're in their way.
• This just in: the government has completed a three year study on weight loss. They discovered the most effective way to drop some pounds is to eat less and exercise. No shit, Sherlock. Our tax dollars at work, ladies and gentlemen. Maybe next they'll discover the best way to get enough oxygen is to breathe in and out.
• I have become one of those women I used to make fun of: I wear tennis shoes into work and change into dress heels once I get to my office. Yes, I wear tennis shoes with my dress pants and skirts. Quite the visual isn't it?
