Sickness in the House

The one problem with a large family is that when one person gets sick everyone gets sick.   I’m afraid I started this one, probably something I brought home from school. This little sickness is a lovely combination of a sore throat and a congestive cough.  My favorite part is that now everything smells like burnt pork.  The good news is I’m almost better.  The bad news is almost everyone else is getting sick, so now I’ll have too do all the jobs they are to sick to do.  Oh well, they did the same for me when I was sick, so I bear them no ill will.

Is Florida Poly Trying to Tell me Something?

I mean they better be, otherwise I better change schools, but that’s not what I mean.   I received a notification today that I was eligible for early course registration (I finally get to register with the big boys!).  Early registration for the spring semester begins on October 31st… at midnight.

Is the next semester going to haunt me?

A Polarizing Problem

I was helping Nathaniel with his Algebra today when we came upon a problem about converting from rectangular form to polar form.  Suddenly it occurred to me, why is it called polar form?  I mean rectangular form I get, but Polar Form, how does that work?!?  It doesn’t have any polars.  It doesn’t even look like a polar!  Did they start using this system exclusively in the North or South Pole?  Or maybe some guy named Polar invented it, or perhaps polar bears just really love using this coordinate system.

Yes, we do!
Yes, we do!
