I have always found it interesting how many different people struggle with different academic subjects. For example, my biggest problems in school were in Chemistry and in Geometry. For the life of me I couldn’t do well in those classes! Although I found it relatively easy to pass most math courses, sometimes I feel that I really didn’t learn much about the problem solving process – I just memorized a lot of formulas. Lucky for me, I’ve found that the Internet is a great source for brushing up on a variety of subjects.

For example, even though I took statistics in school, it has been many years since I studied it. I’m sure that if I really needed to apply what I learned, I would be in for a real struggle. But there are great websites, such as the tutorvista.com website that is designed to give Statistics help to students that I think I could use to help me with any Statistics problems that I might stumble upon as I go through life. I think it’s great; having a Statistics tutor right in your own home, with just a click of the mouse to get the help you need!

I was browsing the Internet this morning and saw a lot of hoopla about a new creation – a wedding dress that dissolves in water. The photos that are provided with all of the articles look like ballet tutus. What’s up with that? I can’t imagine a bride walking down the aisle in a tutu! Is that really the dress?

The articles talk about how women buy wedding dresses, wear them once and never again. And what a waste it is. In my family, it seems that the women save their wedding dresses in the hopes that one day their daughters will wear them to their weddings! Of course women who only bear sons might have problems with that!

I can remember going to a historical place that held lectures and the lecturer spoke of how wedding dresses used to be black, and that the women wore the same dress to church every Sunday, and that the dress was also used as dress that the woman was buried in. I guess those dresses really earned their keep!
