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.

    When younger, in my early 20's, I had 2 pregnancy scares - both times I was nervous, and not ready, and ultimately very relieved not to be pregnant. In neither case would I or the guy involved have been okay with having kids. I'm still not sure I want to, but being in my early 30's I would now actually consider it if it happened (not that it will, I am OCD about birth control).

    I was going to go with bread pudding, then I found I was out of eggs and so I ended up eating one and putting 2 in the fridge behind something large, now I am not sure if the other 2 are still good. I hate losing things in my own fridge!

    When I did have a car, I would take it in for anything but only because I had the care care plan that covered it. I rather enjoy not having a car, and am very glad I live in an area where I don't need one.

    Thanks Jeopardy! I wouldn't have known this one if I hadn't recently seen it on TV. Sad, huh?
