    Math and Academic papers

    I have a pre-calculus exam in the late morning, and a take-home Epidemiology exam to turn in this evening. Other than explaining the rules of logarithms and exponents to you all, which I’m pretty sure no one wants to hear (at least not on my blog) I can’t think what to say. I did run…

    Artwork and thoughts

    I didn’t read anything this week, again. I had intended to, and I did do a review on Monday, since I read last week… what is my life coming to? I used to read several books a day. Then there was a book here and there, or a stolen hour in the bathtub with a…

    500 times

    WordPress tells me this is my 500th blog post on this blog. It’s a milestone… I was thinking, again (a dangerous pasttime, I know) about this blog, and why I do it. It started out as a mommy blog, a way to share pictures and anecdotes of my family with far-flung relatives. Scattered updates, and…

    Fraidy Friday

    Ok, so I owe you all a book review. Well, I haven’t read anything this week. Ok, I lie. I did read, lots, but no whole books. School work had rolled over me like Hokusai’s Wave, and I opened the kindle a few times, read the opening chapter of Peter Grant’s Adapt and Overcome (good…

    Look, you may never write a fiction story in your life. But you’re going to have to write something, sometime, even if it’s only a grocery list. For heaven’s sake, please put the effort into learning how to construct a sentence. It’s not that hard, and it is worth it. Not only will your honey…

    Messy Desk

    It’s swamped, at this point, with books, papers, balloons, and miscellaneous stuff that threatens to fall to the floor at any given moment. I’ll take a bit of time and clear it up soon, but it won’t be today. I have to clear it off from time to time, or risk sanity when trying to…

    Math and Heinlein

    I had a moment in Math class yesterday where this quote came to me, and then I put on a stiff upper lip and kept going. I’d made a crack before class started about being a professional artist, at least that doesn’t need math… But as painful as I know this is going to be,…

    Very Little Brain

    I am a girl of very little brain today. Yesterday having been the first day of school, I got almost everything on my list done, but it’s left me feeling a bit out of it this morning. Things I got done yesterday include writing 1000 words, in this case on a new short-story. I’m going…
