Yuck

So now that we actually had to lug our text book home, I am definitely appreciating the online text book wayyyyyy more. And I'm also spoiled. "Ohmigod I actually have to bring my math textbook home now!!!" Haha.

I'm pretty sure I get limits. You can usually logic most of the them out. (What does this approach?) Nothing terribly startling or new about them. I do think I need to brush up on those trig functions again and remember where exactly a tangent function falls and all that good stuff. And yes I realize that 'stuff' is a terribly distinctive word.

The only minor issue I had with the homework is with a word problem involving pay raise where it asked about the equation. Isn't that just the equation for interest? So yeah, not a real issue. Oh well. Maybe I'll have more to say in the future. Although, Mr. Flint if you're reading this, we really do have to watch Mean Girls. That is all.

I guess I'm here. I'm fighting the urge to go ADHD on this blog and re-do all the HTML for buttons and whatnot. I haven't added any ridiculous effects yet though so I think I'm doing ok.

I also think it's funny that calculus is the go-to subject when TV shows want to portray a hard subject in school that the main character/some other subsidiary character is failing. If this guy can teach it in 20 minutes, it can't possibly be that hard:
