Okay so I haven't written a real blog in a while here you go.
On the way to class today I got off the bus and start walking and theres a huge gaggle of people standing around staring at a tree. Wondering what the hell is going on I go look closer and theres a Peregrin Falcon sitting there on top of a dead squirrel
Thinking that's kind of cool since they're technically still endangered I took a couple pictures with my Cell Phone that I have since not been able to email to myself as advertised. I'll be walking in and playing the stupid customer role at the store later but until then I gots no pictures to share of the bird.
Anyways armed with my cell phone and pictures that I couldnt send to myself after 30 minutes of trying waiting for lecture to start I headed to Math. Simple Mathclass math 148, algebra & trigonometry a graphing approach.((nicknamed calculators 101)) I didn't study for my placement test so I have to sit through this crap from a Russian women who gets her math wrong half the time and so far has only succeeded in confusing half the class.
On the way back out of class I'm walking to the bus stop see the dead squirrel and decide to try and email the pictures to myself one more time and fail magnificently and wind up watching as I'm standing at a red light ready to cross the street as my bus drives right by me on the other side of the street. Wonderful innit? So after 15 minutes of deciding I'm NOT going to try and send these pictures to my email box the next bus arrives great.
Yeah not really, the next bus is completeley packed, standing room only and the driver keeps letting people on when they can barely stand squashed in like sardines. Well now we know why theres a passenger limit don't we Mr Bus Driver? He stopped to let someone out and the bus breaks down, engine is running he's revving it trying to start driving again and the bus is going NOWHERE. After a couple minutes of this and the Bus Driver being too stubborn to tell people to get off half of us just got off and started walking. Last I saw he's still there in the middle of the street on a 2 lane road unable to move and severely messing up traffic.
Quite an interesting day much more than usual figured I'd share.

Study? o.o
What ethnicity are the professors of the higher math classes?
Well considering it was almost 4 years after my last math class I probably should have looked over a book or something to avoid getting stuck in a class like this one. -.-
Imagine you're in a math class that you don't understand and your lecturer has a heavy accent and gets the math wrong half the time so she's constantly correcting her figures instead of teaching. She'll get to the end of a problem look down and realize she has the wrong answer find the error and fix it without explaining to anyone why she's changing those numbers.
I already know all this crap but it bugs the hell out of half the class whenever she does it.
Don't you have books that present the theory? I've never had to ask anything in high school. High school teachers are basically baysitters that keep the dumbasses in check.
Yeah but books arent a very good resource personally I dont learn very well by reading textbooks I have to show up to lecture to rtuly understand it and when your lecturer is like that then it doesn't work very well. Not a problem for -me- in particular but still annoying.

You didn't mention an accent in the OP lol. Also, usually the higher maths have instructors with accents as much as lower maths.
