-I’m switching my site to a new host this weekend, so if something goes wrong (which I’m sure it won’t) that’s why. If you do spot an error please let me know!
-It looks like I’ll be in San Jose for APE in early October (thanks to amazing and generous fan support from my recent GoFundMe). The booth is paid for, transportation is set, lodging is worked out. Everything is go. I’ve been wanting to go to APE since I was in college. This s actually my second attempt (I got sick the first time and had to stay home). I’m really looking forward to it and will have some cool new stuff to show off!
-Speaking of the GoFundMe, it’s still running and will stay up till the end of the month. It’s well over it’s goal, but excess funds are going toward helping me finally ship out the rewards from my last Kickstarter. As many of you know, events, my own poor planning and bad luck conspired to make my last kickstarter kind of a disaster, and I’ve been struggling to afford to ship the rewards to my backers for the last 8 months. Right now I have about half of the rewards shipped, but a lot of what is left is expensive overseas stuff. So any donations are greatly appreciated!
Of course she made the words up! Teachers do that. I’ve helped make up words many times! Such fun!!
Later…
Modest: Jake! Do you have a “dic-tion-ary”?
Jake: Uh, sure. Right here.
Modest: Yay! *grab* You’re not going to catch me out again, Miss Booth! *opens at first page* “In-tro-duc-tion?!” Isn’t it supposed to start with things beginning with A?! Huh! Oh! “Conventions used in this dictionary”! That’s great – conventions are fun! *turns a few more pages* Ah, here it is! And “A” has it’s own entry! This is so clever! I’m going to be so clever! :-}

I hope nothing goes wrong with the move.
What Modest doesn’t know could fill a fat book. Well what she doesn’t know about vocabulary could fill a fat book. Still that’s why she goes to school.
She doesn’t know, but her snakes may know these words.
Detention ! 😀
Those words are perfectly cromulent.
Didn’t she take an apptitude test so they could figure out which grade to put her in? I assumed that they did but we didn’t see it.
Well technically all words are made up sooooo extra credit for realizing that!
my thoughts exactly during math tests….wtf? can i have a different one, please?!
Sure, you can have the AP Calculus exam instead.
1) Determine the limit as h approaches zero of [sec(h)-cos(h)]/h
2) Determine the equation of the line tangent to y = 5x³-9x²+4x, when x = 9.
3) A conical cup, 8.0 cm deep and 6.8 cm in diameter at the top is being filled with water at a rate of 2.5 mm³/second. How fast is the water level rising when it is 5.3 cm from the pointed bottom of the cup?
etc.
Wow, that’s… poor.
