Guess what landed in my eye?

For game night we made some weird foods. We made Creamed Onions, Sage Pork Chops, Smushed Apples and Sweet Potatoes, and Curried Apple Leek Soup. The soup was really weird. While I was making the sweet potatoes, I was mixing them up and *pop*! A chunk landed in my eye! It should have hurt, but it didn't.

School was fine. Nothing really interesting today. However, our Social Studies teacher gave a review on Monday. They students had to write about 8-10 paragraph long answers on loose-leaf paper. One boy, started his own work. The first 3 were done in sloppy pen. Then about 5 problems in, its not only in pencil, but neat and using really big words. Someone did it for him. Our teacher thinks it may be his mother. That is sad for many reasons, but the one different for this case is that his mom is teacher.

Oh, I hope we are wrong. But I doubt it.

Eh, not my problem. If I catch it, he gets a 0. As for, nothing, I hate cheating of any sort.

Too Good.

Yes, it indeed is cat litter. Described in detail by the plaid cow.

Looks like a mix of different types of cat litter. Mainly the recycled newspaper kind with a few of the crystals mixed in.


So, here is another. Maybe you'll have to think about it.

'Ere we go!

Since that went really fast, here's another.
Okay, guess this one!

The Winner

Here is the original picture. It's banana's alright! Way to go Amber!

Guess this picture!

Here is a small section of a larger photo (since I can't think of anything else to post). Guess what it is! I will post the entire pic later on. This one shouldn't be too hard.

It is sad.

I gave a retake today for the first quiz. We took the quiz last Tuesday and discussed it on Wednesday. That gives them 5 days to study and ask questions. Well, most of them did better. Only 5 (out of 27ish) scored worse, almost all jumped at least one letter grade. But I had one guy...

The problem was a chart. It had 3 columns: "Fraction," "Decimal," and "Power of Ten." The fraction might be 1/10. The decimal would then be 0.1 and the power of ten would be 10^-1. So during the retake today.

He: "I don't get this."
Me: "What?"
He: "The power of 10."
Me: "Well, you need to fill in the chart so that it is equivalent."

I walk away and let him think (burn, burn).
He: "Mrs. Dick, *points to "Power of Ten" column* did you teach us this?"

I almost cried.
Me: "Yes. We did it in class."


That was all I could say to not get mad/sad/etc.

I mean really, the retake! Not class, or even the first quiz, the freakin' RE-TAKE! Stinkin' football players. Grr...

To show my appreciation


I have donated 5$ to Eyezmaze. Yeah. I beat GrowRPG (partly pictured at left). Fun times. I finished 3 more Glade Gaurd. After we matte them I will take a couple of pictures to show you. But, they look much like the first 3, but one of them in a musician.

54-7

Sweet. K-State played a good game today. We had 658 yards of total offense, where as University of North Texas had 161. Of that 161, 71 of it came in their final drive, along with their only points in the game. Check this page out to see more stats. It was fun.

Maria was with. She went to a KU game 3 weeks ago, and this was her first K-State game. She said that K-State was much more fun to be at (an not just because she goes to K-State or that our football team won). She said we do things, it's entertaining, there are cheers. Overall: We care about the game. Its true, we have fun at the games, even when we don't win.

Afterwards, we went to Los Potrillos, the new Mexican restaruant. It was pretty good. Their tamales are very good and their chile rellones are pretty good too. I liked it a bunch.

K-S-U! Wildcats!

Woo hoo! Our second home football game is today. I really hope we do good and win. Don't screw up Webb. Don't screw up Webb. Don't screw up ...

I forgot about this

Very fun place with groovy games. Tontie was a favorite for quite some time, but GrowCube is pretty fun too.
