msbelle, I like Khan Academy for me as a refresher (like, when I have totally forgotten how to do something.) I haven't used the self-paced study features. I would be interested to hear how it goes. I find the guy really mellow and nice-sounding, which is good.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'll second what flea says about Khan academy. I've been using it to re-learn some things about statistics that I'd nearly forgotten.
Also, one thing I appreciate is that the word problems on there are clearly written with a diverse audience in mind.

Ah, I slept really well last night,which is good because I'm going to run a 5k in a couple of hours. It'll be my first time running with neither zombies nor dog in a while, that'll be strange.
But first, food and allergy meds.

Was a little low-blood-sugar or something shaky at the market, market to the rescue! Samples in the form of brie on bites of baguette. NOM! (Yes, I had already bought empanadas and was waiting on my portobello sandwich, but all I needed was a nibble of something.)
*Almost* bought a baguette. But I really didn't need one...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Argh, I don't have my new insurance card with me, so I have to pay outof pocket and get reimbursed. Annoying! At least it's warm out.

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 got up at 6:15 to take pictures of the sunrise over the lake. It was completely overcast but I went anyway--now I have some pictures of grey skies over grey water. But I'm learning post-production in Lightroom so the pictures are fun to play with anyway.

sarameg -- when you're taking pictures of non-moving objects, try turning off the flash. If the camera is halfway decent, it will compensate by lengthening the exposure -- just remember to hold the camera as still as possible. (A good trick is to prop your arm on something.)
