So.....I had the chance to retake the Calculus test I didn't do so hot on. Before I tell you the out come I must inform you that there is this rule that says if you retake a Calculus test the highest score you can get is 70%. Anything below 70% stays at that score, but anything above 70% goes down to a 70%. So, I'm taking the test with a nervous mindset, but I studied a little bit before hand and I was making sure to have an answer that made some kind of sense before filling in a bubble. If I do the problem and don't get an answer that was a choice (this test was all multiple choice as opposed to 1/2 multiple choice, 1/2 free response on the original test) I then work backward with all the given answers. One of the problems wasn't working out forward or backward so I chose the answer that looked the most similar to an answer I got. ANYWAY! After all this doing forward and backward then redoing and undoing I turned in the 20 question multiple choice retake of the ...
I teach piano to two little girls in my ward. Today was the weekly lesson and with this lesson I learned even more about their contrasting personalities. The first one is as sweet as a little girl can get. She talks to me, but still listens. She needs me to explain things but tries to understand them even if it's strange. She takes a little longer to get a hang of some of the concepts and notes whereas her sister, if she tries, understands them within three minutes. The sister has a much more fiery personality. From what I can gather and how she acts, she hates piano lessons. Near the beginning she was understanding what I asked her to learn with little difficulty because she put effort into it, but now she's growing tired of putting in that needed effort. She's not having much fun anymore which makes my job harder because now I need to put the fun into it that she's not putting into it. I think I did alright today......There was a picture of some little kids ...
One two three four, tell me that you love me more.....five six nine or ten..... That is what I sing when I need to step back and breathe. Like when people tell you to count to ten before you say anything else so you can think about what may have almost come out of your mouth. Well, I like to sing, so I sing that instead. Today there were plenty of opportunities to sing that song. But I didn't because those happenings deserved laughter instead. :) Today I cooked my dinners for the rest of the week and am so excited to eat deliciousness all week!! But with that excitement came a whole lot of mess and burning things. I burned 1/2 my bacon and 1 batch of candied almonds.... :( I had a fabulous time picking out the burnt bacon though as well as chopping and mixing another batch of almonds which then brought me great pride when I took them out of the oven not 3 seconds too soon. If I hadn't failed the first time there's no way I would have appreciated the timing of the s...
