Nerd Quirks

We’ve all heard of “Facebook-stalking”, but are colleges guilty of it too?

Could colleges be looking at your profile on Facebook, Twitter, or even YouTube?
How will that affect your admission into your dream school?

It’s that time of year again, folks!

COURSE SELECTION TIME.

I’m picking all my classes for Junior year!

Are any of you picking classes now, or soon?

What classes are you looking forward to? What classes do you wish you could take? Any classes you’ve taken and absolutely loathed? Comment below!?

It’s strange. I dunno if this happens to anyone else, but I always worry my teachers are going to be like “Oh man, she didn’t even take the time to put the date on her paper, she must not have put that much effort in…”

my student didn’t have room for books today because of this.

This kid is a champ.

Do you guys ever wonder when you write your name in a texbook…

If one day, you really make something of yourself, and then a student will get that same textbook and see your signature, your name in it.

What will they be able to tell about you by your handwriting, or the color pen you chose?

Will they know who you are? Will they recognize your name? What will come up if they decide to Google your name? What kind of life will you have lived?

Will they be inspired by you? Ashamed? Disappointed? Motivated? Impressed?

What kind of effect will signing your name in that textbook have on another student’s life?

Do you get the point?

Teacher: *plotting points on the graph* Okay class, so the formula is y=mx+b and you just take the coordinates you've been given and plug them right into the equation. Then you can plot the points. It's really simple, so you don't have to worry about it. Everything you need to solve the problem is right here. Do you get the point of why we do this?
Me: HA! HAHAHAHA! POINT! YOU SAID POINT! GEDDIT? LIKE POINT!? YOU'RE PLOTTING POINTS ON A GRAPH! AND YOU ASKED IF WE GOT THE POINT! HAHAHA YOU'RE CLEVER MR. MATH TEACHER! 
Teacher: What are you talking about you deranged child...

Guys, remember the edible cell? Truly the most delicious of all elementary school science projects. Looking at these is making me so nostalgic, I want to plan an edible cell party where everyone has to bring one.

(Full disclosure: one of these is a professional job. Don’t feel bad if yours looked more like this.)

You know what’s fun?

Learning things because you see the value in them and not because someone else does.

This is the story of Parallel and Isosceles...

Me: Parallel lines are my favorite kind of lines. Parallel... That's a pretty word. That would be such a pretty name for a baby girl! You know, like if I wanted to give my children nerdy math names! 
My friend: Parallel? What? Okay, I guess that's a cool name. If I had a baby boy and I was going to give my child a nerdy math name, it would be Isosceles. That's the nerdiest math name ever.
Me: Oh my gosh! I'll have a girl named Parallel and you can have a boy named Isosceles and then they can have cute little math play dates and they can eat pi together!

Who is always the last one to hand in a math test/quiz?

Me.
