Having wasted a large part of the weekend doing other things, I hit the books hard the last two days. I'm just taking a break from homework to write a couple of posts here. Today has been especially busy. So far this week, I have read the latest chapter for economics, answered the end of chapter questions, and reworked some of the data exercise figures that I found. I still have two more article reviews to do for this class and have until March 12 to finish those, but I would like to get them done sooner than that so I don't need to deal with them later.
I finished four chapters worth of homework questions for math first thing this morning. There is a ton of stuff in those chapters that I need to memorize. I also worked a bit on the writing assignment for math (I know, that doesn't make much sense) but am having some difficulties with the second half of it. So if you know about functions that are their own inverses, let me know. I could use some help.
I also worked on a report for my environmental science class. I wrote a paper on a BBC film, Farm for the Future, and how the information presented in it pertained to things we have been learning in class. This is a great short film that focuses on how modern agriculture is overly dependent on fossil fuels and some possible solutions to the eventual crisis that could happen if these practices are not changed soon. It has some really good info on permaculture and I encourage everyone to watch it. It is less than 50 minutes long and you can see it (in 5 parts) on YouTube for free. I still have done very little on my literature review, other than reading the book. I need to get going on this soon. It really shouldn't take more than a few hours to finish the 3-5 page paper. I also need to finish reading chapter 9 in the textbook before Thursday, but only have about 5 or 6 pages to go. There are several extra credit projects that we can do, and more will be offered in the next couple of weeks, but I probably won't do much of that unless I have lots of extra time on my hands. I don't think I will need any extra credit in this class. It should be a fairly easy "A" without it.
I have been thinking about a lot of different things that are important to me that I want to post about, but don't really have a lot of time to devote to what is basically a waste of time. It would be satisfying, but can wait. And I'm still trying to read more books than I should be right now. Too many books, too little time.
