Jello Saved My Life

Monday, January 29th, 2007

I got to spend today at home, because I was sick. Being sick pretty much sucks. I’m feeling much better now. Dean brought me Jello and Sprite. I think the Jello helped a lot. I ate an orange in the morning, but only a few slices at a time because, my stomach was that bad.

When I called into work this morning my boss didn’t sound too certain that I wasn’t just sick from being hung over. He didn’t say anything, but I just got that feeling. He didn’t say much at all, as a matter of fact, which is like him. My boss is very matter of fact about these sorts of things, if you’re not feeling well it’s not like you’re going to do him any good so we’ll see you tomorrow. It’s a good way to look at things, actually, it’s just that I don’t like the idea that he’d think that I had to stay home because I was a dumb ass.

In any case, I’m feeling much better. I played Wild ARMS 4 most of the day, which was fun for the most part. I love the Wild ARMS and all, but I’d rather have been at work. I’m getting really close to the end now. The game seems to be an appropriate length for me. I’ve been playing for something like 27 hours, which is far better than the huge amount I spent on Alter Code F. The next game in the line up is Xenosaga Episode III. I don’t know that I’ll be gaming as soon as I beat my current game, though.

MAD CALCULUS SKILLZ ATTACK!

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Mandy came over tonight and we went through her calculus homework. I haven’t had so much fun in a long time. We mostly worked with logarithms, but also got to do some compound interest problems. It took me a while to remember all of the various properties of logarithms, but I think I have them down again. I also think that Mandy has a better understanding of them now. I really like explaining these topics. I’m really excited for explaining derivatives again.

In 2000, who’d have ever guessed that I would be writing this? I know that Veronica remembers when we were developing our mad calculus skillz that it wasn’t always easy; yet the same topic now excites me. How times change.
