My sister Ella just solved one side of a rubix cube in 5 minutes.

She is 4 years old.

I am so fucking proud right now you don't even know.

Apparently I haven't updated since I started grad school. So here are the main things going on:

• I'm teaching three classes at SF State now; Algebra 1, and two sections of a Pre-Calculus discussion section. I have a bit over 70 students total, and I'm the only person in charge of these classes. It's overwhelming at times. I always have grading to ( Read more... )

+ I start graduate school in a month ( Read more... )

I'm taking a math class. It's tearing apart my sanity faster than anything else I've ever done.

I'm seriously considering rescinding my SFSU acceptance decision.

What the fuck was I thinking?

Life is pretty dull right now. I'm just working with not much else going on. I start a class at Berkeley in a few weeks and I start full-time school at SF State in three months and my employment prospects are pretty unclear during that time ( Read more... )

So apparently it's a bad idea to say, "Who even reads this anymore?" is a bad idea because then everyone responds by saying "yes I read it" instead of commenting on the actual content.

Michael just pointed out how I botched one of my final problems. Fuuuuuuck. I just mentally bid my A in that class farewell.

To sleep now.

I'm really sleepy right now. I had a small cuppa joe last night at 7 because it was there, and because I wanted to make sure I would be awake to finish writing out my math take-home final. Well I finished the final at midnight and ended up falling asleep at 2. Michael was snoring, but that's not so bad. I played "Reverie" by Debussy in my head a ( Read more... )

I got an email last night saying that I got a pretty good financial aid offer for graduate study at SFSU, which was really great news, so I figured it'd would be a good time to check on my admission status, at which point I discovered that I didn't get in. I'll get a letter in the mail soon explaining why ( Read more... )

1. I sent off my application to SF State a few weeks ago. I'm feeling pretty optimistic about getting into the program. Also, the program seems to be pretty strong - there's a large proportion of the faculty that gets NSF grants, and there's a good fellowship deal for the masters students. I think this will be a really Good Thing overall.
2. I've been ( Read more... )

Shit, guys. I'm suddenly afraid I've become boring.
