What does real life even mean?

When we went to DC in January, we watched a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother.  We enjoyed it, and started watching it regularly on Netflix a few weeks later.  Claudia got super hooked, and pulled in the rest of us.  We have watched the show religiously over the past 4 months and tonight finished 7.  Let’s just it ended with my running around the living room and then flopping on the floor yelling WHAT!!??!?!?!?!??!

As the wise James Razick said in his R&C talk, sometimes you just have to set goals that you know you can achieve, whether that is trying all the cookout milkshake flavors or watching all of HIMYM.

And suddenly, all this free time has opened up in my life…

Roadtrip?

Today was a bit of a math fail day…

One of my students was finishing geometry and had an equation where the variable was squared at the end and the last step was taking the square root. I was trying to get her to see that we needed to take the square root.  After guessing that we needed to add, subtract, multiply or divide, I finally stopped and her and said what is the opposite of squaring.  She said rounding…

This goes along with another encounter like this when I asked what is the opposite of squared to a different student and she said circles.  Her response was more snark then an honest guess though.

In study hall, one of the fifth graders tried to convince me that the triangle she was looking at had a left angle and was thus a left triangle.  She then cried while doing long division.  Awesome.
