I will not miss you.
(Even if I have to admit, for the sake of my math-teacher father, that you were interesting while you lasted.)
Hello, summer!
Hello, more time to blog!
Hello, web clients!
Hello, photography!
Hello, newfound feeling of freedom and joy and peace and satisfaction for the rest of my life!
One goodbye, so many hellos.
w00t.
(P.S. In case you could not tell, this means I met my 4th of July deadline for finishing my… leftover math. Actually, my original goal was to finish my leftover schoolwork in all subjects, but as we came down to the home stretch it became clear that that would be impossible. *sigh * Luckily, math lessons made up the VAST majority of my leftover work. So before anyone goes “Oh, well too bad you didn’t just finish it all…” I would just like to emphasize what a huge weight off my shoulders finishing this math is. Now I just need to make sure to actually do the bits that are left.

(P.P.S. In case you would like proof that I am capable of being a productive individual, go read my friend Deanna’s account of our one-on-one HTML lesson the other day. In fact, you should just read her blog in general! She’s a fantastic writer, and is quickly learning the ropes of blogging. And, on a side note, I really enjoyed our little web lesson—I felt like I was genuinely able to help. Makes me think I might be an OK teacher; although, Deanna was a very good student, so maybe it’s too soon to tell. )

It was the teacher, no question!
I’m glad you’re back to blogging (and so are your other fans, I’m sure).
As a parent-teacher, though, I know the relief your folks must experience when you put in that extra time and finish! Good for all of you.
And thanks for the link. Happy Independence.

As a math major, I must say I find your choice of words in this post distressing. Calculus just keeps getting cooler the farther you go with it… sigh what is this world coming to?

Thanks, Deanna! I am very glad to be back to blogging. There’s been an interesting development on the squirrel front that I mentioned to you the other day…. expect details soon.
Laurie - You know, I don’t think it’s really hit me yet that I will NOT BE DOING MATH NEXT YEAR. That is cause for celebration, isn’t it?
(Oh, and “promised” is a very strong word… but hopefully I will come through for you. Lol.

Ian - Whoops, just missed your comment! And, uh… all I really have to say is… whatever floats your boat.
(Seriously, there’s nothing wrong with liking math. I can definitely see why some people find it so interesting… it is just not for me.

I hated math in high school, but over the last two years have become obsessed with it, especially now that I know it actually has a purpose and can be used as a means to an end with programming=D.. Absolutely hated it till then though! Hope you have a great summer Erin

Don’t like calc? That is just a very sad statement to make! Next think you will tell us is you don’t like physics! Like a slap in the face I tell you.
