Today has been relativily uneventful. Econommics was just as its always been. We started doing these cost, and price functions and today we started working with actual numbers. So we had equations like P = 200 + 10Q + 20Q^2 and P = 10Q - 300. And then we have to find where they intersect, you know just set them equal to each other and solve. Well immediately after this problem was posed the collective mathematical ability of the class showed its true colors. "Umm, Prof. Mirman, how would you go about solving that equation? There's squares in it and everything." Actual question, not making this up.

Needless to say the majority of my class is from the College of Arts and Sciences and only a few (me included) are from the School of Engineering. The engineering people had no trouble, but just about everyone else was scratching their heads since apparently they had assumed after high school algebra ended they wouldn't need to know how to solve for a variable again. So today the class turned into a varitable algebra lecture. Thats why we (engineering students) call them the College of Arts and Crafts. Fitting name I think, haha. Shouldn't joke too much though, Tyler is in the College, but knows his math, but he's the exception.

Later I went to astronomy and got my exam back. It ended up being an A so I'm happy. I like that class, all that galaxy, star, black hole, stuff is interesting.

Then I just came back from a meeting with my boss here at school and she's offering me a job working at the school help desk next year. It basically entails answering the phone calls of troubled users and fixing their problems. Not unlike the stuff I do already, but I'd get paid so that's a plus. There I go again, adding more stuff for me to do ... sigh ...

the spirit of args?
just cant get away from it... lol. im signing up for a helpdesk type thing as well... it doesnt seem terribly bad.

in other words....
tech support?

yeah
basically

ugh
i think that will get old dude....especially since some people get real pissy about their computers and crap

lol.
Don't be like earthlink tech support...
» EngelGenannt on 2004-03-30 07:22:05

actually,
i think as long as he werent terribly perverted/obviously horny-acting, hed be fine... o rsomething.

lol..
Like I said.. not like earthlink tech support.. lol. That guy still messages me. He asked me if I could come to Texas. lol.

:O
insane. he hasnt messaged me inforever.

oh..
I think he called.. but I wasn't home. -_-
» EngelGenannt on 2004-03-30 07:37:38

:O
insane. >.< damn. anyway. i tell ppl about args, and they sadly shake their head.

Jeez..
Good lord, that's the kind of problem we're doing right now in this pathetic algebra class. I'm pretty sure I remember doing that kind of stuff in middle school, at least. It's pretty basic.
