Weather channel talking about a possible "event" in another week! It's chilly here, but no snow---
That must be good for the critters.

Today I saw Mr. Squirrel out on my back deck, digging through the semi-melting snow for bread scraps. My Siamese cat, Bailey was crouched by the screen door watching [it was kinda cute]

Read Island of the Blue Dolphins for fun and took practice Accuplacer tests for not fun. Turns out that my old scores from SAT/ACT are only good for 2 years. It's been a good few years since I took them, so if I don't test high enough I have to take the basic classes again. I don't see any problem with testing out of the English/writing portion. The math... well, I'll be satisfied if I don't have to take remedial math (at an extra $500 tuition/semester). It's only the exponents that are giving me fits--I remember so little about them. Working with the 6th and 7th graders this year has brushed me up well on basic math and basic algebra; unfortunately, exponents are 8th grade work in our program

SO. My plan is to take the English Accuplacer tomorrow (2nd day of SLCs, so no school) and hit the math portion next week, after my daughter has had a chance to try to beat exponents into my thick skull. I can use good juju!
