I leave Dispatches for a month (more on that later) and once again they got to change up the look, and the how of navigating the site. Can't You People leave things alone? Have you never heard, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it?" Haven't you got something else to do, and if not, d'ya mind working part-time and stop causing trouble for middle-aged control freaks?
My goodness it's been a hard couple of months, the great weather notwithstanding. Calc I was bad enough; I held on by the hairs of my chinny-chin chin. But, Calc II? Almost from the beginning almost everything from Areas of Planar Regions to Dot Products and Cross Products has been like traveling in a foreign country without a phrase book. The final was Thursday and the 8 days before that were All Calculus, All the Time (or as much time as I could sequester and/or steal) in order to swiftly access from memory much of what I learned since January. Afterwards, on Thursday night I was giddy, and by Friday I was unbearably punny. (It helps to have a 6 year old around who doesn't wince. Much.) Singing, dancing, acting like someone who had just had her sentence commuted.
I said to The Husband, "I'm free!!! I'm free!" He looked at me ruefully; he can barely tolerate the thought that I will be more cranky, more withdrawn, all the way through a master's. (He's not down with me tying up my last days and time on dedicated study of anything but his wonderfulness.)
No matter. It was great and now I have the summer to be. Which includes tending to this blog and still trying to figure out how to allow comments. (How much you wanna bet they didn't fix that?) Gardening. Exercising. Playing, writing, arting. I'll be back often.
