Well, that was…

rather disappointing…  Weighed in yesterday and only down 1.5 pounds after a week on Jenny Craig.  I was hoping for two and my scale at home apparently has no problems lying to me because it said I was down 4!  Here’s to a better week of weight loss!

quite possibly the funniest comment ever from my Algebra II students…  I was teaching my students to simplify radical expressions.  They were finding it a bit confusing so I put it into their terms:  You have one piece of junk plus 3 pieces of junk – How much junk do you have?  They all shout 4 and I’m in heaven – they get it!  So a few more examples and the “junk” looks messier so it becomes crap.  They are still with me and totally getting it.  So then we get to a problem where the radical expressions first need to be simplified before combined.  So in my infinite wisdom I say:  you have 2 pieces of junk and 3 pieces of crap – What do we do first?  Student response:   You just have a bunch of shit!
