Was looking at my plants...

Was looking at my plants. I miss them. There is no time. 😩

I put my roses in less light so they would think it's time to wake up. I think it's working!

I put this one under brighter lights and the new growth looks pink! I love it!

My wrinkly beans are starting to plump, finally. Yes, even the big shriveled one. 😂

My Nova McCoy bloomed again! ❤️

Pretty. 😍

I bought this from Leaf and Clay and it all looked the pale color of the outer leaves with the edges turned down. The new growth in the middle tells me she's glowing up!

Can someone help me?

Can someone help me? I got lost doing a lab. The instructor used "vi" and I followed suit, then got stuck, then he told us to use "nano" instead in the commands but I never caught up. Also, the instructions on the left aren't clear to me, but I think I'm only supposed to type the stuff in the purple and green boxes. However, I can't "exit" this window. I feel really really dumb right now. 😢

I wasted so many hours today on recovering from a migraine...

I wasted so many hours today on recovering from a migraine; hours that I should have been working on my 10-page paper.  ☹️  Stress got to me and now I'm even more behind.  😭

I woke up at 6:30 with a tension headache brewing.  Thought food, a Tylenol / Ibuprofen combo, and time with my favorite girl would take care of it.  I asked Kira to breakfast since I haven't seen her much this week due to the volume of homework I've had.  Got to Panera and the smell of food made me barf.  Nibbled my breakfast sandwich after that.  Couldn't even.  Then we went home and I went to bed.

I finally felt ok enough to get up about 30 minutes ago.  Just finished my breakfast sandwich and I guess I need to hustle up on my paper.  I'm really sad because I slept through Abstract Algebra and I desperately did NOT need to miss that class.  It's the one I'm doing the worst in.

Anyway, I'm off.  I hope I can finish the draft of my paper by this time tomorrow (when it's due).  If not, I'm going to have messed up in Seminar, as well.  I will be so glad when I'm done with school.  I'm so tired of the stress and the nightmares.  It's rough on me and my body.  😔

Dang.

Dang. Despite being in long sleeves, long pants, and wearing sunblock, I got too much sun walking to class. I feel drained and have chills. I think I'm legit gonna have to carry an umbrella for shade. 😟

I'm procrastinating doing my paper.

I'm procrastinating doing my paper.  But I'm going to tell you something fun about math, so... I mean, I'm kinda doing mathy-stuff, ok?

So if you have a fraction in lowest terms, (like 1/8 instead of 2/16)
with a denominator (bottom number) that is a prime factorization of 2 or 5 or any combination of 2 and 5,

(the prime factors of 8 are 2 x 2 x 2 which is 2 cubed or 2^3)

then you automatically know that when the fraction is turned into a decimal that it will terminate (not repeat or go on forever).

You also know how many places after the decimal it will end because it will be the higher power or 2 or 5.

In the case of 1/8, we only have 2 with a power of 3 and the decimal terminates after 3 places at 0.125.

How cool is that?!  😲😲😲

There is more, but I'll save it for another day if anyone even cares about this.  😆

If you're up for it test this out by making fractions with denominators from multiples of 2 or 5 or any combination of 2 and 5 and see if you can come up with one that doesn't work.  😁  Don't forget that the fraction has to be reduced to lowest terms!

I have a helper...

I have a helper while working on my 10 - page math paper. Bastian feels the same way I do: Blegh! 😝😳
