Oh holy fuck.

On top of that I'm going with someone I've known since middle school (I guess she's talking romantically to my freshly-single drummer, who is in fact the reason I know of PTL) and her best friend, who is mad sexy and once asked me to come play "Bitches Ain't Shit" and Beatles songs at a house party.

--- End quote ---

Yay! Also do you still have the little one? You should pretend it's Gloria's tree baby. I heard you like Christmas trees, so I put a tree in your tree so you can *fill in the blank*?

Papersatan:
We do have the little one, I have put it on the kitchen table as a center piece.  :) Now two rooms are festive.

So I have an exam in 4 hours. I'm probably going to ace it, unless there's something from the last two chapters (out of 18ish) which I have no idea what is about, really. They're probably not going to show up at all, but I decided to look a bit at them. Just in case.

Turns out that the part of the book I haven't read starts with - without any context - a quote from Pride and Prejudice. Looking back, every part of the book has a quote attached to it, the three first by Austen, and the last one by one C. Stevens (this one?)

We all love to instruct, though we can teach only what is not worth knowing - Austen, from P&P
Are they implying that the methods taught in the book is not worth knowing, or that they are unteachable?

Allow me to say, ... , that the arguments with which you have supported this extraordinary application have been as frivolous as the application was ill-judged.
Before a chapter about applications of LP-methods. Hehe.

There is, I believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular evil, a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome
In my case, the defect seems to be posting instead of cramming. Or maybe not getting geometric interpretations of problems. Protip, educators; n-dimensional objects are really cool, but for the vast majority of us, they are not easy to visualize, so don't use them to help us understand what's going on unless there's really nothing else to work with.

It's hard. But it's harder to ignore it.
It hasn't been that hard to ignore that I should work harder at this course.
