Out of the blue
Tue Jul 15 2003

Up until last night, I was not sure why I had purchased the textbook that supposedly goes along with this pre-calc class. My teacher had not taught out of the book at all. He had in fact told me that if he had his way he would not have us buy the book at all as he did not use it.

Based on this, I had not opened the book since about the third class.

For some reason, last night he apparently reverted his lessons back to the book.

Now, I don't know this for sure as I haven't even glanced over the supposed chapter last night was supposed to cover. Throughout class last night, he referred over and over to the chapter we were supposed to be covering. I guess I'll break open the book today to see if the chapter correlates to the material he presented us.

Why he would decide to suddenly use the book when we only had two classes left, I cannot tell you. It will be nice to have some other material to refer to in studying for the final though!

    Howdeeeee Momma. Can you believe that the fact you are talking about math gets me all worked up? In case you did not know... I LOVE math.. so if you need any help let me know.

    If I was you might might say have a few drinks before the final... and if I was me I might say *puff puff* even though I don't do that any more...

    uh yeah... *if i was me*
    geez, quitting the pot really seems to be helping!

    Yes, its true. My parents started me on reading when I was young. I love it now. I don't get in trouble in class for passing notes, I get in trouble for reading, Lol. My vocabulary is bigger than most of the kids my age, because they don't like to read. I also like to write because of this.
    And the language title is from the bible story of the Tower of Babel, right?

    Well, maybe it isn't easy, but I'd say you're doing something right. (grin)

    Hoped you wouldn't mind if I mentioned you by name. The woman at the counter who sold me the H.P. book had hit me with the same old "at least it's getting the kids to read" routine, and while I had better manners than to vent at an unsuspecting cashier in a public place, I had to dump my spleen just a little somewhere. And I always prefer using positive examples (i.e. you) to negative ones. (grin again)
