Calculus oh calculus...

...today's lecture really was baaaaad! (my frail attempt at a bad song to the tune of "O Christmas Tree")

But today was terrible for calculus. The professor we had as a "sub" was the same one I had for a professor back in Math 102. It's really sad to see how badly this guy can teach. All he does is give us the problems, he does them in a drawn out manner really fast, and expects you to nail it right then and there. It's pretty sad if you watch it. I hope Salais doesn't miss more classes cause I don't know how much I can stand of this other guy. He's a bad professor and if it wasn't for people helping me in 102 I would have failed that class

But other than that (and the rain), today is pretty good so far. Got LEAP later, and then Youth Group after that. I may meet with Lauren for some dinner at McDonalds or meet with Daniel...hmmm...choices choices choices

Today, I blog on someone I should have blogged on a while back...my late Grandpa Hoyt. Fyi, you would have never heard me call him that to his face when he was alive. He was always Grandpa and that was it.

I loved my Grandpa for as long as I can remember. Even though he was a Clemson fan to his death, he still loved me and my family of Carolina fans. Funny thing is, my sister was a Clemson fan to make him happy but decided to come back to the USC side! But he was always there for games and was a treat to watch him get animate about games.

While he wasn't my "biological grandfather" per se, he was the only one I had growing up. And trust me, I learned more from the years I spent with him than any level of school could ever begin to teach me. I learned lessons on life ranging from how to drive a golf cart, cooking okra, all the way to learning how to be successful with anything as long as you put your mind to it.

He was the one who penned my oldest nickname..."spike". I used to not like it when I was a kid but now I would give any amount of money in the world to hear him call me by that again. I miss him very much and I know he's in heaven watching us all. I hope to take a small nugget of wisdom that he imparted on me and make the world a better place...starting with me

Quote of the day:

"Nobody has things just as he would like them. The thing to do is to make a success with what material I have. It is a sheer waste of time and soulpower to imagine what I would do if things were different. They are not different."-Dr. Frank Crane
