Apollonius' nickname may well have been Apple.

I presented today in math class.

I volunteered to present in math class today. Because when I was doing my homework this morning, I worked through I.42, and said, "Holy crap, I completely understand this!"

Naturally, I missed an initial step at the beginning which threw me off, and it was not a particularly good presentation. But my tutor - from our brief conversation after class - seemed unconcerned about the quality of presentation compared to my understanding of the material. That's something of a weight off, because I'm not great at presenting.

But I volunteered. I'm trying to remember when I last did that; I think it was sometime first semester of my freshman year, and then only once. I was nervous, as always, even as I asked my tutor if I could do that particular prop. But despite being nervous, I asked. Fairly certain I wouldn't have done that last year.

I guess that says something. I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time worrying about it, though. I'd rather just bask in knowing that I did it, and I probably wouldn't have last year.
