me: "why on earth are you laughing?"
eric: "because... of all the 10000some adjectives in the english language, 'boring' is the one that least describes you!"

for the record, today was *not* a good math day...

proof? eric took me to baskin robbins and bought me an ice cream sundae... that's like the eric version of a hug, and he only gives those out under extremely distressing circumstances.

the problem is, i've been studying hard for days on end now, and think i'm making headway, but today i was trying to reproduce some of the things i thought i had learned well a week ago and ran into issues -- i have no idea how i'm going to keep so massive an amount of information straight in my head for the exam when i can't remember that many things that many days straight. it's frustrating.

i am hate it when not math people say they're certain i have nothing to worry about and that i'll be brilliant. i understand it's said in support and with good intentions. but you don't know how it'll be. plenty of people said they were sure i'd pass writtens the first time and i failed. i *could* fail each qual once before i pass it, and it *could* happen again.

in the meantime, another 12 days of study study and more study.

later dudes.
