Looking for Suggestions/Recommendations

Hello again. It hasn't been very often lately that I have published more than one blog in a day. You feel like you are in for a treat, don't you?

I'm at a loss for posts. If I want to post regularly like I had been doing, I need some ideas. What do you want to hear about? I was thinking about a few sections that I may want to add in the near future but am still unsure about. Please comment on which ones you like and/or don't like and on other ideas I could incorporate in.

Section Ideas:
Advice for those applying to Graduate School
Helpful websites with reviews
Book Reviews
Wedding planning advice (although I don't know if this section would stress me out more or help me vent)

I'm just not sure what I want to write about anymore. Telling everyone about how my day has been sounds kind of boring at this particular instant in time. I might get over this and just write about what has happened during my day, but I'd really like to add a consistant section to the blog (word of the day was a good idea, but I didn't have good follow-through with it). What do you think?

so how many math classes did you have to take before topology? i bet it's a lot.

I had to take a lot less than I actually did take before that class. Actually, the prerequisites are consent of the instructor so it's really up to her, my professor, when she wants to teach it. Usually she'll teach it to the top of the heap, whoever can convince her that they can do the work.

She has been really concerned with my progress in the course. The material I understand, I understand really well, it's just getting beyond that hump. I'm getting better at doing my proofs which shows immense improvement and my mathematical confidence has grown, but my lack of mathematical confidence also has grown. I think I know what I'm doing one second and then I've done the proof totally wrong, or I think what I'm doing is wrong and that it's too easy when I'm actually doing about the right path.

I think it doesn't matter how many courses you've taken but how much you know. I could have taken a course in super-symmetry (which I don't know exactly what that is, but I have some sort of idea), but that doesn't mean I understood anything. Maybe I could acclamate to the professors teaching style well and that allowed me to pass.

We don't really know what we think we know is all I'm getting at.
