Math HSPAs today. Haha, they asked to find the area of the rectangle with vertices at (-3,-4), (-3,8), and (3,4). Which, of course, do not form a right triangle. I assumed they meant (3,-4) instead of (3,4), as did most people (except those who insisted that there *was* such a rectangle :P ). They're probably going to throw that question out.
Haha, Dr. Vijaya really didn't have anything planned for today, so she just gave us free time. Since we're starting sequences and series, Tom wanted to prove the Cauchy Criterion. That's actually not in Apostol, so Tom and Chris and I spent some time staring at it before eventually looking up the proof online. It's so simple, but I must say, I never would have thought of that...
Wow. Howard Dean is winning the Vermont primary. Wow. Hehe, cnn.com had Kerry as the projected winner in Maryland before they even had any votes in from there...
Oh, and may I officially state that I hate the pseudoword "matrissy".

...hm, the spill chucker doesn't like the word "vertices"...
