It's a good thing I laugh quietly. That was beautiful. Just... absolutely beautiful.

Oh, and the American educational system. Because if it weren't for curriculum requiring that the teachers re-teach us everything we had learned the previous year, I'd probably be far past Calculus right now.

My Calc teacher was the delegate for Washington State at the Standards and Curricula conference a while back. (I was really shocked. My town has more deciduous trees than people.) I can assure you that everything will be better soon, as far as I can tell.

Good for all the smart kids going through elementary school, then. And I already found a way to maneuver around the normal high school system, so that's all good for me too.

I've been at the point where if I had a blood test run, they might find some blood in my caffeine system instead of vice versa. After about a week of very little caffeine consumption. I've consumed more caffeine in the last 2 days than I probably have in about a month.

And y'know why this is? Because I was awake until 2 AM doing homework that I should have done some other time earlier in the day. Procrastination: 1; Theros: 0.

I GM'ed a game for a little over 3 hours on a different forum today. That was tons of fun - and surprisingly long, considering that I haven't GM'ed for a while.

Keep.  Your fucking.  Gender.  Politics.  Out.  Of.  My.  Mathematics.

I agree with this statement, despite the fact that I've only been in math up to Calc I.

Now, someone post something happy to change the topic or I'm going to have to go punt a kitten.

If you want him to have company outside of his students, I suggest getting him something more... passive. Like a goldfish. Because last I checked, badgers have this tendency to be irritable, evil, and rip your face off if you annoy them too much, PUNY MORTAL.

Seriously. Don't piss off a badger.

What's this?  Something with a personality just like said math professor?  Where can I order an entire box?!

Oh. In that case, I recommend you find a way to stuff a giant squid into his office. But a box o' badgers would work too.

Is the badger thing a plan or a theory or a rumor or what. I have to question the logistics of getting one in there, and who would be bored enough to do such a thing.

I'd guess it's a plan. I'd also guess that all they need to succeed in this plan is a badger of sufficient volume.

Also, out of curiosity, what is the context for the word "badger" here? Like... the animal, or is it a term for something else to which I am ignorant?

If a redhouse is a house made of red bricks, a bluehouse is a house made of blue bricks, what is a greenhouse made of?

Atoms. Lots and lots of atoms.
