Monkeybun, my teacher likes to say that the type of thinking math requires a certain type of thinking (abstract? I think he said?) which is why most people don't like it. He says "Mathematics is one of the most beautiful things our species has ever done" Haha he's awesome, he rescues raccoons and will talk about them for an entire class, is literally smiles more than anyone I know, and just won a Yale Distinguished Professor award. He is the reason why I'm not failing

I only hate math because I can never remember "rules" that everyone is just supposed to know. So if I'm taking a class and they give you problems that require outside information (not discussed in class, but something you "should know"), I start to have trouble.

When your math teacher sucks, it can really suck for the rest of the students. When it comes to math, it doesn't stick with me, so I have to ask a lot of questions. My bestfriend just got her BA in Mathematics.

I just got a letter on the apartment door and it looks like there will be random apartment inspections on February 8th .. looks like Chacha will be penned up for 8 hours and her toys in the closet. The person that leased the apartment to us is now the manager, and she knows that I have a rabbit.

I'm in the middle of rearranging my room. So far, I have A LOT more space. Somebunny is NOT loving it  THUMP, THUMP, THUMPs are all that I am getting! She has since calmed down, and is more curious. I had to change where she uses the litter box in my room and right now, she keeps pooping around the area the box used to be . Back to bedroom litter training haha. I was watching the SNL episode with Daniel Radcliffe on Hulu late last night. Chacha jumped on my bed and sat there for 40 minutes.. just.. watching... with me .. she never EVER stays still!!! 

Oh, and for the fans..

 

Last but not least...

She brings out the best in me.. I swear, she really does.

Such cute photos! Bunjamin learned something new tonight... how to get on my bed
I got very into looking at stuff on etsy (bunny related stuff don't cha know?) and all of a sudden he's next to me! I think he's mad at the slave tonight. Not enough attention apparently

I hate math! haha. I think it's the way the school system teaches it in the US too.

Like today I was volunteering at a food drive and the guy asked me to calculate how much each person would receive. so if we have 25 boxes of potatoes, and each box is 40 pounds, and we have to pass out 650 servings, how many potatoes would it be.. etc. It's a Korean church, and he easily figured this out in his head, whereas me and my other colleagues who are all college graduates were scratching our heads like o.O haha. I've noticed in other countries, math is taught to be more understandable and useful. my parents always just do it in their head and give me this look like you-can't-divide-that-why-did-I-send-you-to-college?

if I had spent my 4 years of high school mastering the art of doing calculations that I would use on an every day basis, that would've been awesome. Instead of doing calculus and whatnot.

I can add and subtract just fine in my head. I just get mad at customers who expect you to count back their change. You know, by starting with the coins first and counting up to how much they gave me. I can't do it that way. I can subtract and know how much they get back, but trying to count it back that that is so confusing. o_O

I was pretty mad at an old lady one day. She was so grouchy. I handed her back her change and she said "I like my change counted back to me, not dumped!". I just looked at her for a second and smiled. Then I said "Well, have a nice day!". I'm so bad..

 

Aww, look at Cha Cha Bun!!!

How can Chacha look so cranky when she's sitting on such a nice pink blankie?

And don't get me started on my hatred for Math! I struggled with it in school. It really sucked because I did well in all my subjects except math. I HATE math! I'm lucky that my bf loves math so he does all of our budget and I never have to do any math at all.

Angie, the way I understand it is that math in other countries is often drilled drilled drilled. I don't necessarily think the way the US teaches it is better, but it often seems more concept teaching and less drilling. Personally I'm terrible at mental math and I'm an engineer! I use simple math every day but heck if I can do it in my head. I don't think that's a matter of not *knowing*, just a matter of not having drilled that kind of thing for years as as kid. Now that calculators are used everywhere I think our mental math skills will be even worse, but I don't know that that's terrible.

Otto is such a weirdo - he thinks the vacuum is his new bff. lol Last night I was trying to vacuum the living room and he was following it around nose bumping it, then sitting right in the path I was trying to clean. I've never seen an animal so comfortable with the vacuum before.

My dad is genius at math. He can do calculations in his head. He used to do payroll when he was in the Coast Guard. He caught so many mistakes that people made. He went to school in Hawaii, lol.

LBJ, I always count change back.. I do it the easy way. Like if they give me 20 dollars for a 9 dollar item, I just say "Ten, and eleven" and hand back a ten and a one dollar bill. I haven't gotten a complaint about the way that I give back change.

Yeah, that's how I give back change if it's several bills. What this lady wanted was, for example, change for a $7.50 sale and she gave me a $20 bill. So she wanted 50 cents, that makes $8. Then 9, 10 (two $1 bills) and $10 makes $20. I can't do it that way. I can look at the $7.50 and know they need $12.50 back.

That's a good way to get in trouble with the boss! Haha!

But yeah, she was a grouchy old woman. I was busy too. A long line of customers and I was there by myself. I didn't have time to deal with her.

Ugh, the CT DMV won't leave me alone! My car hasn't been registered there for 5-6 months now, but they keep sending notices. The newest one says that they're suspending my registration (that shouldn't exist anymore) because I don't have insurance. I've cancelled my registration numerous times - I just don't know what they want me to do anymore. I never had this problem when I moved from PA - I'm assuming the CT DMV cancelled my registration in PA for me, while the NY DMV never told CT that I don't live there anymore?

Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions? I sent back the newest notice with the cancel plates box checked (though I've done that before and received confirmation, though clearly it didn't work). I also hand wrote a note saying that I don't live in CT anymore.

I almost got 100% on the whole assignment! I got a little confused on effect size at the end. It was asking which thing to favor, the one with the low Cohen's d or high Cohen's d value. I got confused and said the low one. =(

So I will have to settle for 98%. A big improvement! =D

 

I also made note today of something Wooly does that I think is cute. He has a "special" water bottle that I attach to the side of the cage. He doesn't like the big water bottle with the stick, so I let him have this little one with the balls inside the spout. I check it periodically because sometimes it disappears fast (Leopold deciding he needs to drink from it too) and sometimes it doesn't. If it is empty though, Wooly will do something cute. He will wait until he sees me coming. Then he will jump in the cage and lick the ball twice to make the noise. Then he sits there and looks at me expectingly. He will then sit there, not moving an inch, until I come back with a full bottle for him. Silly rabbit, the big water bottle has plenty of water in it.

for 4 months after we moved to AZ, our phone number (a vonage line with chicago area code) was still connected to the front door intercom in our old condo. so realestate agents would call on the intercom saying they had a client wanting to view the condo. and i'd say "sure come on up" and then press 6 on my phone to buzz them in the lobby door.. then they'd come up to the 6th floor and find it locked with no one home. a few times they went back down to the lobby and dialed again,, then i'd be "dude we're in Arizona"

it took us a lot longer to sell the place, but it was hella more fun...

LOL at Wooly, buns are too dang smart.

I injured my wrist at some point last week and it has kept me from doing a lot of work. Everything I am working on is due this week though, so I stayed home from work (because I am no good to them with a lame wrist) and finished some work. I made three prints for my printmaking class and I am putting the finishing touches on a painting that I had planed to have finished last week.
Huckleberry has been extra cuddly lately :-D She just runs up, waits for me to get comfy on the couch and then she snuggles her head up under my chin and tooth purrs... until she has had enough and then without warning, she bites the *#&#$&#* out of me. X-o

Huckleberry I know what you mean about sore body parts, I did something to my foot not long after I started my job shelf stacking at a supermarket back in July, I think it's a combination of concrete floor and having to carry heaps of 30-40lb boxes and it's ached on and off since, x ray showed nothing so tomorrow I'm seeing a physiotherapist about it, but at the moment my foot's not feeling too bad but I know it'll ache on Wednesday when I've got to work 8 hours.

Also annoyed that said job has cut my hours back, had 5.5 hours last week and 8 this week... needless to say I'm looking for a new job

Hahahaha, Mike.

After talking to some friends who moved out of CT or sold a car while they still lived in CT, I probably won't resolve this quickly. They had to prove residency in a new state and jump through all sorts of hoops to get CT to leave them alone. I guess I know what CT spends our tax dollars on! They must have a lot of people processing bogus notices.
