Sunny Delight

I can't even begin to describe how absolutely gorgeous today has been. The sky has been an unbelievable shade of blue, with white puffy clouds that look painted into the sky?

What have I done to take advantage of this day?

Not anything active, sadly. That will come tonight. I hope to get about an hour or so on the stationary bike, then pack up and go straight outside to my intramural intramural frisbee game. Sorta like a brick workout, right? ;)

What did I actually do?

Well first I spent all morning in class, then all afternoon afternoon in the chemistry lab. Then I got dinner. Now I'm back in my room "doing homework" (read that: blogging).

Life has actually been pretty busy lately. I have been able to work a lot of hours tutoring in the library, which is bad for my homework load but very good for my checking account.

This reminds me of yesterday's tutoring: Macroeconomics.

I grasped almost every taught in that class pretty easily, but I understand how others would have difficulty. Economics is abstract, conceptual, and confusing. I explain things well and clearly, but sometimes I have to do it a couple times before the light bulb clicks on.

Example A: Last minute panic session with two sorority girls (there is no coincidence that Delta Zeta's abbreviation "DeeZee" is remarkably close to "Ditzy")

NOTE: Because two of them showed up, the University actually pays me double time for the appointment :)

Because of that financial incentive, I had no problem explaining simple things like supply and demand for an hour or two. They left happy that they understood that concept, I left knowing they were doomed to failure on today's exam because they only knew that....so sad.

Tonight I will head over to the library and explain how to find the area of a square for a while. Funny, I get paid the same amount for tutoring calculus as remedial math, just as much for thermochemistry as intro to chem.

Regardless, as soon as I am done with that I will be hitting the sports complex to use their cheap stationary bikes. In about one month I will be back home and on the roads on an actual bike, and it will be wonderful :)

That's it, I'm all out of time tonight.

Adios
