…and I figured, “Gee Phil, you should post something just to let people know, like, you’re still alive.”

But then I took a look around and saw that all my blog friends were neglecting their services as well, and so I was all, “Shah, I’ll post somethin’ when they post somethin’.”

Dear Phil,

I am a huge fan of all things law and economics, but I hate math. Unfortunately, to go into economics I need a good Calculus mark, so I was wondering if you had any good pointers on what is the best way to study Calculus and Data Management?

Sincerely,
Steven

As with most things in life, the best way to learn math is to do math.

And as I say to my students, “AS IF you have anything better to do Friday night…”

Have you been reading up on all the Harry Potter Book 7 conspiracies? I’m getting more and more obsessed… It’s coming out July 7, 2007 and I’m already jazzed up. I’ve been reading all these interviews with JK Rowling where she is hinting at what happens and it’s driving me nuts.

I’m such a dork.

Well I guess my mother was wrong when she told me that mathematicians have no sense of humour. I guess math isn’t…that bad.

Did I say that out loud?

…so what am I going do? I’ve got school tommorow and I don’t want to skip — there’s this girl that shows up and well, you know how it is…

I miss that.

Dragging your lazy ass to school because there’s some girl you always fancied. Another reason why I miss high school so much.
