I seem to be losing my hair. I am on the verge of getting worried enough about it to go see someone. Two people have commented on how much hair I had on my shirt, and I have found tons of my hair on my desk/bed/etc. I have never lost hair in my life. I have no idea what is going on.

At first I thought it could be stress-related. But besides the fact that I just took a practice GRE and got a 900 (oops), I don't have much to be stressing over at the moment. I doubt it could be food-related, either. I've been eating really well and staying pretty healthy. My shampoo hasn't changed. Nuthin'.

I don't know.

Meanwhile, could somebody remind me how square roots and exponents work again? I seem to have forgotten in the eight years since I was last enrolled in a math class. Further proof that if I haven't used the damn stuff in my normal life, I didn't need to learn it in the first place and I don't need to re-learn it for the GRE.

Exponents say "multiply that big number down there by itself this many times"
a^3 = a x a x a

(a^3)^2 is the same as a^6
exponents in a fraction, like A^3/A^2, the exponents subtract.

But if you're ever in doubt: write it out. A^3 = A x A x A
A^2 = A x A
so A^3/A^2 = (A x A x A) / (A x A), so you can cancel, and you end up with A.

I can way geek out everyone else too, but if you want to call me, I'll be back home Sunday apres-midi.

When I wrote that last paragraph, I said to myself, "Self, your sister is totally going to answer this damn question."

Sometimes I ask questions without really wanting answers. (Not this time, though)
