1. I made it most of the way accross my slackline today. I had a long line up, and I’m sure that next time, when I put up a shorter line, I’ll be able to go all the way accross.
2. My piano is slowly but surely improving. I recognize that I’m not an especially talented player, but at least my songs are starting to sound like like songs these days– I’m so terribly excited to get to play on my mom’s baby grand this summer!
3. Meekyung’s Puzz(le). Mr. Ben and I devised a new system that divides the pieces up into 16 groups based on their orientation, and the number of pieces to check decreases exponentially with each side that we know. Via this method, we probably finished as much of the puzzle tonight as has been accomplished in the previous three months combined. Right. That doesn’t make much sense, but don’t sweat it. The point is that the puzzle may very well be completed by the end of the semester.
I’m somehow excited to be going home. Listening to the radio tonight, I found myself estatic at the thought of listening to 99.9 again…
Uh, you didn’t close your i(talics) tag…
And nice job on the puzzle strategy. Shows we are in an honors dorm and have a math major as an RA.
Fixt. Thanks, Will-o-liam!
(It’s like petroleum + William!)
i believe “puz” is spelled with one z. and apparently i’m not clever enough for this system cause it foils me everytime. yeesh.
Mark, do you have a slack line? If so we should definitely do some of that this summer. I worked with it one afternoon and got a few steps down. Its fun stuff.
Ya, I have a line. I’m certainly planning on spending a good deal of time on it this summer, and it’s always fun to have other people!
