Just sent another, with the money quote: "Bearing in mind that majority of the foot soldiers and the lower-ranking officers in the Sudanese army are ethnically from Darfur and Kordofan or from other marginalised parts of the country."

Can I just take a moment to say how damned proud I am of the work you`re doing, Nonian? `Cause I am.

I was substituting for a special ed. aid today, so I was floating around to a lot of different classes just to help kids if they needed it. I always sort of freak out when I see math on my schedule, as I can hardly ever actually help, but during my free period I went to math.com and learned everything about the subject (multiplying and dividing fractions! Which I'm sure I could do when I was 12 but not so much now) and as silly as it may be I am immensely proud of myself.
The bonus question of the day was 15 12/25 ÷ 10 16/65 and it took me about ten minutes and entire sheet of paper but I totally got the right answer. Good day! This actually has me inspired to give math another go. I mean, I realize this is math aimed at people literally half my age, but I've always had such a mental blockage with it before I'm really happy!

Fractions still make me queasy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can we not move onto decimals? Why do we need fractions again? Ixnay!

I have no idea why we need fractions, honestly. I'm just insanely excited that I understand how to add/subtract/multiply/divide them, even if it is completely non-applicable to my everyday life. Knowledge makes me happy!

Good for you, zuisa!
Why would anyone want to limit themselves to decimal representations when fractions are so useful and clear? Bewildering.

Blah, fractions. I only like them for measuring cups. Decimals all the way for math!!
Ugh. I've been spending the last hour arguing with my stomach. I think I had too much pork roast on my plate, which was so good, I kept eating it past the 30 minute mark that I should have stopped at. I had him put three small pieces on my plate instead of two--big mistake. I ended up eating about 2 1/2 slices, and I now have a sore stomach, a stopped-up-feeling throat, and a headache. Ugh.
