Visitors gone – back to math and research reports

It was nice to have Lorena’s family here from Milwaukee, Wisconsin over the weekend. They left Sunday afternoon after meeting for Greensboro where Tio Rigo and Tia Helen dropped their son, Jonathan off for the start of his internship at UNC Greensboro. After they left, Kelly made up some absolutely awesome stuffed mushrooms; she is getting really good at all this. She is planning on doing some grilling next. I can hardly wait. After dinner, we sat down to work on a backlog of math corrections.

The progress we have made this year in math has been stellar. We only have about two more weeks of special effort and we will have arrived at a very satisfying finish to what I believe is our best math year yet. I was talking to Kelly about how far she has come and how far she has left. It dawned on me that she is not very far from the end of her math studies. Really, all she has left are geometry, pre-calculus (trigonometry and analysis), the calculus (differential, integral, and multivariate), linear algebra, and differential equations. Nothing of what she has ahead of her will be wildly more difficult than what she has already studied. When she finishes all that, she will have enough math to get virtually any undergraduate degree she might ever consider unless she wants to be a math major. That is an awesome thing. Christian is doing well, too.

Our plan is to make one more hard push to finish the research reports, science, and math, then enjoy the summer swimming, reading, and goofing off!
