Getting into this blogging business!

1. Ok, so I don't think I have any exciting pictures to post really. I am still waiting...waiting...and waiting to get my wedding pictures back from the Utah side. Who knew it would take this many months for them to get my a CD I can post. I have one I'm allowed to view, but it is very much... copyright-ed? We are back up at school and are loving it! I enjoy it because I have something to do. Period. Steven loves it because he has "something" to do. Although, in Utah, he atleast had something to do. I had, well, nothing. Jobs are scarce and I was feeling the pain of...well, boredom. :) It is so much fun having family and friends here, too! Last year I only had Liz. I suppose once in a while I had Dave.

2.Steven is tutoring Chem 106 this semester.Steven is pushing himself a lot this semester. He is taking 4 classes; three of them being:

• Anatomy


• Organic Chemistry (2nd half)


• Physics

All of which have labs! His study buddy/friend decided not to take O-chem at the same time as Anatomy because of the work load of these labs. Smart? I think so. My husband has enough guts to face the world head-on! Smart? I think...not, but we'll see later this semester. I think he can do it; I just may be single for one more semester because he will be at the library. :) His other class is with me though, so yipee! It's family foundations, and it's quite interesting.

3. I am currently still looking for a job. I am ahead of my classes from the lack of a job, so there is the "silver lining." I sure hope it stays that way. If I keep making blogs this long it probably won't. I am taking family foundations (as mentioned above), Math 108 (down a class from last year--complicated story), Science Foundations, Money Management (which has managed to be cancelled 2/3 times--not complaining), Humanities, and Interior Design.

4. What else can I update you on? Nothing I can think of. Let me know though because I am new to this whole blogging business, and I know I could probably do whatever I wanted. I just want to know if I'm leaving out some standards.

My Fascinating Facts:

The Greeks disliked the idea of irrational numbers, yet they came up with a most crucial irrational number. They went about trying to find how to split a line into two pieces that is most pleasing to the eye. Well they came up with a spot-- it is called phi (pronounced fee or fie and the symbol is a cirlce with a line straight up and down in the middle). Today, we round it to 1.6 or 8/5. This is known as the golden ratio. It led to a "golden rectangle." I wonder if that sounds familiar to anybody? This golden rectangle was considered the most pleasing to the eye. Basically the shorter side is x. The longer side is x*1.6. Surprisingly enough, it is seen a lot!!!! Also, this guy--sorry I don't remember his name-- did a survey on most pleasing/displeasing rectangles. Without even knowing it, the public made a trend. The "golden rectangle" had the most votes for most pleasing and NO votes for displeasing. The closer the pleasing votes came to the golden rectangle the higher they were, and the closer it got with the displeasing votes, the smaller! Last bit about golden rectangles. If you make a square out of a "g.r." the other section becomes a new g.r.. If you keep dividing them and smoothly connect the squares--it makes a "golden sprial" which is found in nature. I even got a pic so it makes more sense! Fascinating! This pic was on wikipedia under golden spiral--for copyrights' sake. :) Hope you enjoyed!
