MATH GEOMETRY TRIG MATH MATH MATH MATH!!!

For as much as I enjoy math, I've had too much of it lately.  I've been helping a student study for SAT II in Math, and it's been beyond me.  I normally have a book or examples to work with, but this has been a lot of research on my own, which unfortunately hasn't been totally successful.  There was one problem: (a+b)+5i=9+ai b=?  That took me way too long.  It's a prime example of me making things more difficult than they have to be.  Today, I've spent quite a while on circles, searching for formulas and examples, now finally finding a bit of what I was looking for . . . (chords- basically a line through a circle that's not the diameter).  So today's mostly research and tutoring, a little laundry and a Bible study.

Yesterday was a big day for Aaron.  It was his first official day in his new apartment (aka move everything out of old place) AND his first day at his new job (aka straightening pipes).  He also was sick- pretty badly.  Mostly his stomach and a fever (we read it at 100.7 at night- who knows if it had been warmer).  I think he's doing alright, 'cause he said he'd call if he didn't go to work, and he hasn't.  His (and by 'his, I mean 'and Ed's and Kyle's') new place is starting to look put together.  Nothing's unpacked yet, but there is some furniture and enough stuff to make it look liveable.  Still no fridge yet, but details, details . . .

This next week will be crazy, with me having a little less work (aka in schools) but more to do.  I'm trying to plan where to stop on the way to Wisconsin, but still do the trip in 3 days or so (Aaron's a working man, needs to get back soon!)  I'm also trying to balance packing with a room that still looks lived in until the last minute.  It makes me sad to see packed boxes.  I was also sad this morning because Aaron doesn't live next door anymore, so we can't eat breakfast together as easily.  It's not something we did every day, but it was so convenient to see each other.  His new place is 2 miles away, and we still go to Bible studies together, so it's not bad yet- not until we're 2,000 miles away. . . But I am happy with going home for the summer.  I'm also excited to be going to a wedding this weekend for Brett and Autumn, some awesome friends here.
