I've been doing too much math! I can't even believe it. The syllabus shows 30 algebra equations to do each week. So, I've done about 22 of the 30 each week. I never looked at the grades because they are usually poor and this time has been harder than any of the previous classes, so I just didn't want to know. Then tonight, I was looking at the assignment and something just didn't seem right. I went in and checked the weekly folder and realized that only 6 equations are due each week! I went and checked my paper and sure enough, there was a big electronic note on the paper to only do the assigned work. Now I'm sure the teacher is wondering what I am even doing in school! 2.5 more weeks to go and math will be over!
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...
