Niblet does trigonometry

I have been working on my homework for my trig class tomorrow for THREE HOURS. And I'm barely halfway through; that's how slowly I have to go to make sure I know what I'm doing (that, and I have 75 problems to work). Niblet, however, has been helping. Sort of.

First, he chewed a hole in the pillow I was lying on, on the floor:


Then he looked over my notebook to check my progress:


Then he decided to do some graphing in my little graph paper pad, courtesy of Heather, the new sales rep at work who used to work for theprinters.com:


Finally, he tackled the text itself; he found it engrossing. (I stopped him before he ate the corner off the hardcover.)


Then he decided to make out with the table leg; is he just tasting as a preview? Will there be a table there tomorrow?


Finally, I gave him a piece of graph paper so he could do his own work; he promptly took it under the table (so I wouldn't copy off his paper?):


Then Clawsie decided to give him a hand, helping him work problems from above.


This outside interference was too much for him to handle. I don't know if he's ever disapproved this hard in his life; it's a defining moment for him.


It's now 10:39 and I've spent over a half hour posting these photos; I'd better get back to work. I still have about 35 problems to go.

This was fun Delia! My bunnies like to help, too - except they're afraid of math.

Hope you got the problems done, in spite of the help.

Oftentimes I have to explain the nibbled corners to my students who get their homework back looking like it's moth-eaten.
