Many things have happened since I last updated. I figured I ought to write an entry about those things so everyone's not left in the dark.
I'm doing well in Calculus I. I got my most recent test back, and I got 96%. I took another test just yesterday, and I'm pretty sure I got close to 100%. I didn't run into any problems while I was taking it. I was the second person done with the test, but the first person done finished about 10-15 minutes before I did, and I completed the test in about 45 minutes, so I'm thinking he didn't know half of the test.
I really like related rates. I loved doing the homework for it. It was some of the most fun I've had doing math. I love word problems, so that section was perfect for me. I could do related rates problems all day.
I do have bigger, more important news. I got into MSU!
If you haven't read my answer to the personal statement question that got me in, you can read it here. You can see the details of the astrophysics program I'm going into here. I'm beyond excited. Look at all the awesome classes I'll get to take!
I attempted to make a pie for the first time. I made a rhubarb pie. I wanted to make a pie for my professor to thank him for the letter of recommendation, and it was also Pi Day yesterday. His favorite pie is rhubarb. He'll be eating it today, so I'll find out how it is later. I should say I tried to make a pie. He said it was the thought that counted, but I hope the thought still outweighs the quality of the pie once it's been consumed.
I'm pretty sure my calculus professor likes me. I'm allowed to take the quizzes before class so I don't have to deal with nicotine withdrawal at the end of class when we normally have the quizzes. I had made two mistakes on my quiz the first time I took it, but I corrected them the second time I took it. (I take it during class, also, so no one knows I've already taken it.) She gave me the points back! I was not expecting that. I guess I would like anyone who is excited about my class.
I suppose that's about all. I have homework to do.

It is so rare for a math professor or teacher to have a genuinely enthusiastic student that we are willing to go the extra mile for that person.
