Last week was a short week. Monday was a national holiday, so no school. Friday we got a doozy of a snow storm and the school actually shut down. Community College NEVER shuts down, so it was shocking and I enjoyed every minute.
It is possible I may yet learn what one must do when you run out of places to put snow. But I hope not.
So I guess I can say I learned that Hell must be frozen over before Community College closes, and Friday, despite being Hell on Earth was actually pretty wonderful. I caught up on reading a lot of your blogs. Sorry I’ve been so desultory a reader lately. I hope you’ll understand, and I am really doing a lot more studying than these posts might imply…
Biology class didn’t actually meet last week, so I have nothing new to report there.
In Calculus I learned that the asymptote will come back to haunt me. We were studying limits last week. I get the impression that limits are the place in mathematics where being precise actually doesn’t matter, but you get so close to being precise that you sort of are. It makes my head hurt. But you do very little actual math with limits, it seems mostly like a logic puzzle, and if it sounds sick, twisted and wrong, I’d rather do that then actual math.
I had no O Chem lab this week, so I have no exciting explosions to report.
About the most exciting thing happening last week was I had my first ever try at the potter’s wheel. I didn’t manage to make anything worth saving, unless one actually wants a lopsided pot.
So, hopefully this week will yield more fascinating educational trivia.
