about Iseult

( female / Berkeley, CA )

Poet. Foodie (but not in an obnoxious way). Avid reader. Photographer. Brunette, not that it matters.

I wear glasses, but only because I cannot, for the life of me, get a contact lens back out of my eye once I've put it in, and therefore the eye doctor will not let me get contacts. I really want Lasik eye surgery but am too broke to consider it.

    in school we are not allowed to use calculators. for homework, yeah, but work on class and exams should be done by ourselves. we were allowed extra paper to make the calculations, and we should write down the logics of the calculations on the exams, so if we did something wrong with the numbers we'd still get part of the question right if the thinking behind it was right. for the same reason, i once lost an entire question on a physics exam because i only wrote down the final answer - i thought it was too simple and calculated everything on my head, and didn't explain how i got to that number.
    we can only use calculators at uni, when we get to advanced calculus, physics and chemistry.

    I think we should have taken the consensus advice - but being sorta grumpy, we opted for chinese food and movies at home.

    Regrettably, Waikiki Wedding is one of the worst Bing Crosby movies ever . . . we watched only bits and pieces, and were cringing the whole time. We should have just watched old episodes of Doctor Who! Or gone to the movies anyway. Oh well, live and learn, eh?

    I would like to wear a TARDIS, thanks very much. Or lacking that, something tacky in purple velvet, because why the heck not ?

  • in End ... postponed, Iseult says:

    I think I would be just fine, given that I'm not prone to nakedness (except in the shower) and I actually like most of my clothing. Of course I could drape myself in purple velvet for the end of the world, but I wouldn't be embarrassed about it later because purple velvet is awesome .
