Groundhogs day.
There is a Bill Murray movie Ground Hogs Day, where he just keeps waking up on the same day over and over again.
Since last Thursday was ground hogs day. The math department wore the same clothes Friday as they did Thursday to go along with this idea. Person that gets called out first brings doughnuts for the department.
Here I am with some of my math colleagues THURSDAY.
Here I am with the 2 students that called me out FRIDAY.
This sweater was a little distinctive to be a good choice for this game. You live and you learn.
Answer any of the questions in the comments.
Ever seen the movie groundhogs day?
Is there a day in your life you would relive?
Favorite Doughnut?

Doing our best job.
When I want to do my best possible job at something, I know there are things I need to do other than WANT to do a good job. I believe we all want to do our best job. Wanting is easy, doing is hard.
In order to save me from my lazier, procrastinating self I found I need to do these things.
1. Treat my to-do list like a date with another person. If I am going to meet a friend at 6, I meet the friend at 6. I treat things like grade papers 7pm or workout 5:30am the same way.
2. Surround myself with other people who do quality work. I can always learn from their efforts, and I like having them hold me accountable. (Maybe vote yes to the seat change if moving could help you.)
3. Reward myself. (yep I said it) If I do X, then you can mindlessly look at your phone, have a diet mountain dew, eat a salad the size of a small child (remember that is my favorite food, that is not punishment.) take a nap and/or go to bed early, impulse buy, no guilt.
4. Read some inspirational quotes or listen to motivating songs etc, that remind me to not waste this one precious go around at life.

What is one (or more) things that work for you to do your best job?

This problem got us.
The South American Mouse stumped a lot of us.
The mouse's jump was NOT 6 ft.
Can you figure out what it is supposed to be? First person from your hour to write what it should be and why in the comments gets bragging rights!
And just because. This is me in South America. Yes that is a Llama.

Finding vertex from standard form.
Try the problem below.
Share your answer with a table mate when you derive one.
The only picture I have on my phone of soccer. We went to a game at Miller park. I have no idea who was even playing now. Obviously it had a lasting impact. I do remember it being fun though.
In the comments, any soccer players out there........who are you??

Can you ever have enough word problem practice?
It takes 3 hours for a boat to travel 27 miles upstream. The same boat can travel 30 miles downstream in 2 hours. Find the speeds of the boat and the current.
Work out the problem, and while you are waiting for all to finish tell me about any boats you have been in the comments.
I have been on:
- canoes. Every year of my life 5 - 21
- kayak
- speed boats
- pontoon
- But never a cruise. Trying to decide if I would like or not like. Anyone been on one? Reviews??
