Well, I got my information on my student loan from the Government today. Bad news, I owe about $15k so far. Good news? The interest rate for this next year is dropping 3 percent. Yay! Of course, since I’m still attending, it’s only about 3 percent, but that’s much better than this past year’s 6 percent.
Only a couple of weeks until school starts back up. I bought my priority parking pass today. $72, but I think it’s worth it. I feel safer, and end the semester with far fewer dents on my car. Which is a definite positive, any way that you look at it.
Well, I am at last done with that dreaded Calculus. I passed, although not admirably, with a C. I could have done better, if not for the way the final was done. Eeek.
And Harry Reid is an idiot.
Well, I’m trying to take Calculus again. I had to drop it this past spring because it was just to hectic. So here I am during the summer…finding vertical and horizontal asymptotes…Fun.
My mother broke her ankle on June 5th, so I’ve been filling in at the office until she’s well enough to come back. It keeps my gas tank filled, and I can do my homework. Plus, I do like being able to help out my family.
I am still whole-heartedly a math atheist.
Not a lot going on here. Only thing that’s new is my parents new car, which is the same kind as my little Ford Focus (which I have fallen in love with, despite it not having all the features of my little silver civic), and the fact that I will be going to Seattle in August for a wedding. And I have about 3 weddings total to attend this summer. Should be interesting. I’ve got some cute dresses to wear, so it will be fun, as long as I don’t get sunburned like I did at Kyle’s wedding. We’ll probably just be flying up for the weekend, but I am looking forward to it, all the same. I’m hoping we have a layover in Chicago. I’ve been craving Chicago style pizza for the longest time!
Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.
-Lin Yutang
Thou art thy mother’s glass, and she in thee Calls back the lovely April of her prime.
-William Shakespeare, Sonnets
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavour by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
-Washington Irving

- My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.

The Thinker
In love, you are honest and serious about commitment.
For you, sex is something you think about and desire a lot of the time.
Overall, you are pure in your affection and feelings.
However, you tend to be suspicious and distrusting at times.
Best matches: ENTJ and ESTJ

Your Thinking is Abstract and Sequential
|
You like to do research and collect lots of information.
The more facts you have, the easier it is for you to learn.
You need to figure things out for yourself and consider all possibilities.
You tend to become an expert in the subjects that you study.
It’s difficult for you to work with people who know less than you do.
You aren’t a very patient teacher, and you don’t like convincing people that you’re right. |
You Belong in the Silent Generation

You fit in best with people born between 1925 and 1942.
You are a person of high values and character.
Family, your country, loyalty, and hard work all important to you.
You are willing to do what’s right, even when it’s difficult.
|
You are aloof, mysterious, and distant.
People feel like they really don’t know the true you…
Yet they’re still drawn to you, almost by magnetic force.
Underneath it all, you don’t even really feel like you know yourself.
It’s easier to put on a front than really think about your life’s purpose.
You tend to seem pretentious, but it’s just a mechanism you use to push people away.
Your Inner Muse is Melpomene
|
You are most like this muse of tragedy.
While you aren’t depressed, you don’t shy away from sadness.
Although you do tend to be gloomy, you have a sensitive side.
And this sensitive side helps inspire and help others.
