    Nerves kicking in BIG TIME. First interview is at 1245 today. Second one on Monday. My battle buddy from nursing school texted to remind me of our familiar refrain when we went to clinicals in the ICU, "Knock 'em dead! But not all the way dead!" 😄

      Thanks. Yeah. It's really hard on the ego.

      Unfortunately, I did not get either of the ICU residencies. It is just super competitive in San Diego. I am pretty crushed, to be honest.

      The test shut off at 75 and I got the good pop up on the Pearson Vue trick, so that likely means that I am a nurse. 🙂

    Hello Monique,

    Happy holidays. Hope you all are having a good time :)

    Monique, could I possible ask you regarding the intro to mechanics. As you know AOPS do not offer it online and we cannot take it as we are far far away in Europe :) so I would really appreciatively if you could share with me a name of the book they are using for this program. My kiddo is like yours, wishes to go into bio engineering and he would really love to start mechanics too :)

    Thanks 💐

      Hello and happy holidays! This is the first year that AoPS is offering the course. They are trying it out locally in San Diego, where AoPS is headquartered, which is also what they did with BA Online before it rolled out worldwide. They don't have a book for the course. They are using something they put together on their own online (and it is embedded into the course), so it doesn't even have a name. This year is sort of the guinea pig year to figure everything out, so I imagine that they will roll the course out online and/or to the other academy locations in some form in the near future. Sacha does plan to take the f=ma course in the fall, which would be the next step up, if your son is interested in mechanics.

    Sacha is off to 3 days of Astrocamp in the mountains of So Cal. They may get snow! Let's see if my beach boy survives. 🙂

    It's snowing. In the foothills. Of San Diego. In May. Go home, Mother Nature, you're drunk. And that's probably a preexisting condition.

      "The daytime high temperature in San Diego Sunday was 59 degrees -- almost 10 degrees below average. The NWS said that Sunday was the coldest May day the city has experienced in 64 years. The daytime high hasn't been in the 50s since May 15, 1953, when it was 58 degrees."
