Cleaning Day

Today was a good day. I think yesterday and today have been the only good days this week. But that's okay. They are good and that's all that matters :). Yesterday we had to paint/write on Jason's car twice. But in a way I'm glad... we did better the second time... ;). I'll have pictures up on my album as soon as they have their server back online. But today I've been getting caught up on calculus and doing some much needed house cleaning. I got in some much needed Bible study time too... well kinda. It wasn't nearly as much time as I normally spend or would even like to spend but it was still good. I've joined the dance team at church recently and Miss Angie (Graham's mom) encourages us to dance in our quiet time too so that's what I did. After the stress I've been feeling lately it was like coming into a calm. I need to do that more often - dance/Bible study I mean. I'm finally feeling closer to being on top of things with calc now. Wanna know something crazy? I dreamed last night that I was integrating (tan x)^2 and I did it and it was no problem and it made perfect sense and the whole solution was perfect trig and the like and was totally correct. Now, it's not beyond me to dream about math. I'd say that's why I've not been sleeping very well is because most nights I'm dreaming about math that doesn't have mathmatical solutions or that i can't solve. So this dream was really weird in that I was able to solve it, but upon waking I figured it was just something Val had done in class or I had already figured in my homework. While I was working on 7.3 homework today, I had an integrand boil down to tan x squared. So I just went digging through my notes and my homework looking for it. I scoured and looked everywhere and couldn't find the integral of tan squared anywhere. Then, of course, I remembered my fundemental identity that tan squared is equal to secant squared minus 1. And of course Val had done secant squared in class. And then it hit me... I had no idea about integrating tan squared before last night and I had just dreamed about doing a problem I didn't know I'd have to do and not only that but had solved it correctly in my dream. Isn't that bazzar? Kinda cool.. but strange :).

I got to talk to Hannah Deeah today!! :D:D:D I'm glad. I miss that girl. :) I miss Nathan too. I guess I need to quit being my weird self about talking on telephones and call the boy. He has verizon.. I have no excuse. Kathryn still has my DVDs. I want my Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood back... I need to call her too.

(My comp is updating and validating and who knows what else and is being slow *quizzical expression*)

I finally got my seemingly endless array of books (at least the ones in my closet) on my new bookshelf today. I'm very pleased. I have such a wonderful selection of educational horsey books. There are other great books to. But right now I'm adoring my horsey books.

Oh I don't think I've posted this yet but I have my own nation. Yup! Believe it! I am the sole ruler of the Queendom of East Meganopolis. (I wanted it to just be "the Queendom of Meganopolis but it was already taken.) Anywho it's a part of Nation States and it's some kind of free online role play/goverment/UN sort of game? I haven't figured anything out yet really except I got to make my own flag which I'm really proud of and I spend entirely too much time online reading the description of my nation and noticing how it changes as I make legislative decisions. It's terribly addictive. I don't get to do the write up you see about my nation but I do get to pick what region my nation exsists in and my national motto, animal, and currency. Overall the stupid thing seems rather liberal but still I enjoy it. I'm thinking about leaving the West Pacific for Middle Earth though. I'm such a nerd sometimes. I'm actually wasting time blogging about my nation %) %)... ah well.. such is my life. At least I didn't name it something like "The Solidarity of the M*A*S*H* 4077"... I watch entirely too much M*A*S*H*.... I think I need to go to bed. But anywho... I wanted to make a post when I'm in a better mood... the ones I make when I'm grouchy and feeling overwhelmed don't sound too great :). Oh the stuff in italics in my last post are songs incase anyone was wondering.. I still can't remember the name of the artist who did the first song but when I do I'll lecha know.
Okie... I'm off for tonight. I love ya, my peeps.. stay strong.
