Math at its Muddiest
Today several fun and interesting things happened, but first and foremost we played Ultimate Frisbee as a youth group again. People are learning. Fast. Today there was much more running, throws were lower and faster, catches were more consistent, and there was more movement, less endzone sitting. We will have a Frisbee game by the end of the year, and I am looking forwards to it. In fact, despite how I hate running, I have started, so I can be in shape for Frisbee. But I digress. This is not math. Later this evening, we had a "Quiz" random facts about just about anything. We had one "Joker" we could place as we like, and being a calculus student I was saving our joker for math. What happens? Instead of being limits and derivatives and functions and all that fun stuff, its how many earrings does Denese wear, times the number of stars on the Australian flag. Irritation. Intense irritation. Not being so observant we go 20% right out of 10. Mega bad. Bleah. It was not math it was simple arithmetic and observation. Oh well. Next time I won't put it on math.

you're strange. but i think you should know, that i leave your blog open in the background so i can listen to this song.
i'm glad ultimate was good--i talked to j and j right before they left for it. and i have to say, running to get in shape for it is dedication indeed. i detest running with every fiber of my being. ick.
haha-your the calculus student and I am still in algebra 2, and i got more questions right then you did!
If you want to make running fun, you can try to borrow Abe's ipod and listen to it while you run. I find it makes running much more enjoyable.
hear hear habla abla. to quote a wise person i once heard, "no pain, no pain." i contend that running is a form of self-injury, and i will beat you over the head with a titanuim/aluminum/tungsten alloyed croquet mallet if i see it perfomed in my presence! just kidding of course. i admire the dedication you have towards ultimate frisbee.
I hate running myself, but there are not a whole lot of ways to get in shape around here, so run it is. I am usually running at the same time Abe is though, so he is using his iPod. I bought one, but the US postal service stole it.
taliesin, my dear, that is my motto as well!! i'm such a fan of that thought philosophy that it is one i put into practice every day of my life.
graham. . .i would give you my walkman, but i think it may have died from old age and antiqueness. ha ha. can you still buy tapes in yemen?
some yeah, but they are all either blanks or loaded with pirated Yemeni music and don't last for more than a day.
Of course it's your motto, habla abla dear, I was quoting you when I said it. I have, you see, a memory like a steel trap! It just, uh, rusts here and there.
woah. . .i'm amazed and proud that I had such an influence. . .*single tear for effect* perhaps i can influence more to achieve my ultimate plan. . .which i should probably decide on, sooner or later. . .hmmmm
Oooh Oohh, pick ME! There are 7 stars on the Australian flag.
haha I'm sure you wanted to know that.
oookkkay...I need to go to bed. (btw I wonder what the time difference between us is.)
