Some things.

Me, Wulfa, Moon, and Elihu are partying every friday night. Last night was mostly just doing quests together. The night before that was at level 70. But we plan on making the low level alt thing a more permanent thing. The party makeup is as follows: Level 15 Prot pally = Ratthree(me)(third rat doesn't get anything) Level 15 Hunter = Wulphesong(Wulfa) Level 14-16 Druid Healer = Lluvia(Moon)(It means rain or something in spanish). Level 13-15 Mage = Oldmanmarcus(Elihu) So if you are on Kael'thas and we haven't already picked up a guildy feel free to ask for a party invite 8pm-11pm MST. This post would be longer but miniorc is trying to fly by shoving his fat legs and pushing off of the couch.

Yeah, it's going down.

Do it until it hurts, then do it some more. Do it until your brain screams at you "Just stop! PLEASE! Then do it some more. You do it until your brain discovers a new paradigm of thinking. That's how I visualize it anyway. And that's how you learn another language. And that's what I've been trying to do. My brother, who is fluent in Spanish, concurs with my assessment of the situation. So I've got Michel Thomas cd's in the car which I listen to every time I drive. I go over my textbook for 30 minutes a day. I'm starting to listen to pod casts in Spanish. When I'm speaking to my kids or Dammy I try and figure out how to say what I was saying in Spanish. My brain hurts. I must be doing something right. Chemistry ... it is the language of precision and accuracy, of charges and cats. And bodily emissions. I'm serious-my professor likened alpha decay to throwing up, and beta decay to the opposite of that. Gamma doesn't really do anything, just

Thursday mornings.

Are slow. Orclette really wanted me to stay home instead of going to school this morning. I had to leave as she was there crying and begging me to make a fort. This bit of life sucks. However we both slept in a bit before school this morning and getting to wakeup slowly over the course of 30 min while cuddling a two year old... this bit of life is awesome. Nothing really to say. I forced Wulfa to take a break from school and play with me a bit on her level 9 mage. She did, we had fun and relaxed a tiny bit. Tonight no games I think but Friday and Saturday night are likely a go after the munchkins pass out.

Cations.

I have no interesting or fascinating idea or theory to tell you this morning. I also have no good questions. Unless someone can help with: Consider a uniformly charged ring in the xy plane, centered at the origin. The ring has radius and positive charge distributed evenly along its circumference. What is the magnitude of the electric field along the positive z axis? = Imagine a small metal ball of mass and negative charge . The ball is released from rest at the point and constrained to move along the z axis, with no damping. If , what will be the b all's subsequent trajectory? = oscillating along the z axis between and The ball will oscillate along the z axis between and in simple harmonic motion. What will be the angular frequency of these oscillations? Use the approximation to simplify your calculation; that is, assume that . This is the one I'm having problems with. The closest I've gotten is: w= So yeah thats the

On word counts:

I'm utterly stunned. STUNNED. Kestrel and Tami write like 1500-2000 words a day or something like that. I was curious how much that was so I looked up how many words(according to MSWord) my story this morning was. I thought it was pretty decent... not long but you know... a good effort. 457 457! Otherwords: PFFFT NADA. They must be like little miniture writing titans or something. So still in awe I went back to see how long my running man story was. Because IT was long. hahaha no. 768 This is going to take a lot more practice. P.S. To cut off any "hang in there you will get better" or "well it is important to start somewhere". I'm cheerfully happy that I wrote something and am knowing that getting out the door is the important thing. I was simply in shock-awe of their MILLION WORDS A DAY. P.S.S. TJ this was written in my SRS Wrting voice.

Why didn't I ever think of using dates for titles before? They come up with themselves. I read Tami Moore( Egopriest ) and TooManyAnna's and am filled with horrible envy at their fearless posting of their words on the web and their focus to keep writing and not read webcomics . My mind is full of half-born characters and stories that vaguely wisp in the wind. My Shaman is coming along fine I was really excited by the play I got out of him at level 70 on Friday . I believe I have spoken at length about how much I despise melee dps because you are always 'chasing' the mob. No more. I still feel like I am chasing the mobs to a certain degree but not as endlessly frustrating like I felt with rogues, DK's , and cats. I -love- the way flame wave works. I -love- bringing the totems. I feel useful and awesome and when I hit 80 will be a flaming whirlwind of axes and lightnings astride an endless river of wave and earth. Speaking of stories... here for your endless

Okay forgive the offtopic but:

This is a sample letter that I will be writing tonight. To the ROTC Cadre, Thank you for the opportunity to work with you. Thank you for your continual support of myself and my family in the semester that I have known you. I will be withdrawing from the ROTC program for personal reasons. After much thought I have concluded that if I continued in the program I would either fail to fulfill the requirements of the program or my obligations to my wife. When I moved to State Name I did so because I believed it was the only way for both myself and my wife to achieve our Bachelors. Anywhere else that we might have gone one of us could have gotten our degree but not both of us. The first semester my participation in ROTC caused my wife a lot of stress and this semester's schedule was preventing her from having the school time that she needs. I am fully committed to her finishing her degree and for her to do well she needs to be able to work on her degree without any pressure
