Makes me feel stupid.

Class troubles

Class is starting to make me feel stupid. I mean really stupid. And I have a whole new motivation for having to get a B or higher - if I don't I have to pay NASA back the $3500 in tuition they spent on me. That would be bad.

As it turns out though, when you don't actually understand the problem, you get really good at contemplating the algebraic consequences of each step (independent of everything that happened previously), which made me seem really smart in class the 10% of the time I wasn't confused as all getout.

Luckily, I have a really good professor. So after class, he spent about an hour with Jose and I, translating the homework into problems we could tackle, rather than the unintelligible babble it appeared on first glance.

Radar gives me a headache

I had a very frustrating day yesterday. Reading radar is not hard. Keeping track of all the information flying in every which way is extremely difficult. I got overwhelmed. Today promises to be better.

Visitors!

Mom and Aunt Diance bought tickets to come visit me in a couple of weeks! Yeh visitors! Now, I just need to, you know, finish unpacking my boxes. Now, Aunt Diane moved into her house in October, and I don't think she's done with hanging pictures, etc., so the way I see it, we're about on par..

Remember Me?


Piles Of Rock
A little bit of hope for the places I'll go, a few memories of the places I've been, and some humdrum in between to fill the white space.
