Free Time

Okay, this may sound like an advertisement...And perhaps it is, because when I find something great I want to share it with anyone who may appreciate it.


I have a new hobby. And no, it's not your typical sewing or gardening or learning a foreign language. In my free time over the last few weeks math and physics problems have become my escape, my entertainment! 


A friend of mine introduced me to Khan Academy, a great e-learning sight for anyone looking to brush up on skills or learn a new subject. It's really just an array of organized YouTube videos, but they are so thorough. I enjoy learning from video more than I thought I would due to the ability to pause or rewind at any moment.


Since I'm unable to afford classes for the time being this site is ideal. If you know me you know I love to learn, I may even have a slight addiction to school and studying. Well, now I can take in as many new concepts and brush up on ideas as much as my free time allows with all of the benefits (almost) of attending class. But the best part? There are no deadlines!

History is never written by those who've lost.

Have I told you that I love this man?
