"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

-t, yes. The secondary requirements are:

1. Abstract algebra. 2. Number theory. 3. Calculus through differential equations. 4. Probability and statistics. 5. Non-Euclidean and transformational geometries. 6. Applied mathematics or mathematics modeling.

Christ, now I'm remembering why I'd planned on middle school math in the first place. I guess I'd better go ahead and take both those math classes next semester regardless of time constraints, and see if I can't audit some others. Don't get me wrong, I've had most of these (although I'm really not sure anyone ever taught me "Non-Euclidean and transformational geometries"), but I have no idea how I'm going to be brushed-up enough on them by the end of July to pass the test. Eek!

ETA: Particularly because, in my own little learning quirk, I can learn things speedily and very well from a person which confound me in a book. Apparently learning math requires body language for me.

Up with the sun

What should I have for lunch? We have tuna, veggie burgers and ravioli here, and I could possibly make soup. I was going to make a salad with chicken, but that doesn't work so well when you don't have lettuce.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

My vitamins tell me so.

I was wondering whether vitamins are allowed in Scientology. Aren't they, like, drugs under another name? Certainly, elements of the FDA think so.

Also, I had a classmate in college who called her Prozac "Vitamin P".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Msbelle, obviously you're on some sort of medication or other, or perhaps in league with aliens. Someone will be over right away to take care of that.

vw and I watched A Series of Unfortunate Events last night. It was too short. I want more. Also, much more Uncle Monty.

Must. Get. In. Shower.

Allowed? They're key.

Does anyone know where's a good place to try shopping for shuffle skins in meatspace? I can't bear the idea of spending $5 to ship $6 worth of merchandise.

Also, apparently Mass. has a fairly long list of requirements for Dance teacher licensure. Impressive.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

In other news, OMG Most Frustrating Conference Call Evar:

1) topic is a market segmentation interview script
2) 3 participants are on the phone, including the two who are explaining everything
3) one of these participants attempts to steamroll everyone else at every opportunity
4) Because she is on the phone, we actually have to interrupt her to let anyone else finish a sentence
5) we are her client, not the other way around
6) we go quite a bit over our time arguing idiotic semantics while a different scheduled call of mine has to wait

Aieee. This can only be remedied by silent making of faces, and a break for lunch while the sun is still shining.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

LJ, I actually like a salad with no lettuce. Because as it turns out? I don't really like lettuce all that much, and really not enough to buy it for myself.

Particularly because, in my own little learning quirk, I can learn things speedily and very well from a person which confound me in a book.

Maybe a couple of tutoring sessions would help you?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I can't bear the idea of spending $5 to ship $6 worth of merchandise.

Can you pretend that they raised the price to $9 but cut the shipping to $2?
