Some things that I have thought about over the past couple days.
-Julie & Julia: I went and saw the movie with my wife. It was interesting. There is one F-bomb that kind of took us by surprise. Aside from that, Kristin though it was one of the cutest movies ever. I left thinking that it would maybe inspire me to be a little more diligent on my blog… not working yet.
-Clover and Mimi’s baby: I don’t know if any of you realize this… buuuuuuuuttt December is only 3 months away. Yep, it’s true. Maya is almost 4. It has been almost 4 years since I almost threw up over dinner at the Chinese restaurant where my fortune cookie said “Kristin will you marry me?” On that note, how cool will it be to have 2 more cousins for all of our other little cousins, at the same time! Maybe we can move Christmas to San Diego this year. Everybody walks out the door from mimi’s delivery and goes straight to the airport.
-Getting a different job: I have been trying to get this mental hospital to hire me so that I can start working in a field a little closer to one that I would like to work in when I am all grown up. I guess I am not mental enough or something… I don’t know. Maybe they will call me tomorrow.
-Motorcycles: It has been a real pleasure over the last couple months to be able to ride my “mokie-moke” everyday. There are times when I am riding that I really wish I had more than 250cc’s of power between my legs. Then I realized that my motorcycle will be paid off pretty quick here… I think… (10 minutes later) Nope. I was wrong. I bought the bike last August, not last January. I guess no new bike for a bit. ‘sokay though, because I do like my bike, just sometimes not as much as others.
-School: This semester is pretty promising. What is it promising? Plenty of homework, that’s what. But I’m okay with it. I feel myself getting smarter pretty much every class except maybe my math class.
-Math Class: My teacher is kind of… not smart… I think. He talks to us like we are third graders, we have a seating chart, he is rude, and immensely arrogant. I am a little bummed because I am going to have to stick it out for the rest of the semester in this class, and I am afraid that he may not be telling me the truth when he says this will be the best and most applicable math class that I have ever had. Here is the most recent example of idiocy: This is a story from our lecture last wed, I was so irritated I had to tell everybody. We were working on section 1.4 in the book: Section 1.4 Using the definitions of trigonometric functions: Reciprocal identities, Pythagorean identities, quotient identities. Okay… title makes sense. How about exercise set 61 through 68. “Use identities to solve each of the following. See examples 5-7” the heading says. My professor reads it in front of the class, makes a stupid face and says “Identities, what are those, that’s stupid. Lets look at a problem… Ah ha! We can solve these, let me show you… *solves problem on the board*… See ? You don’t need identities, you just need to know how to think, and you will be smarter for it. I don’t know what identities are and I don’t care, memorizing is stupid.” Seriously. I have never been left speechless from a lecture in a math class until now, and I was shocked. Any way, this is going to be a trip… math class.
