Busy!

I'm starting to feel very, very busy, which I guess is good? My school work isn't too oppressive - Math 0350 is the only real killer, but I think I may be dropping it and/or vegabonding it. Other than that it all looks pretty good. Math 0170 is even fun so far, Math 0180 looks pretty interesting, Math 0330 shouldn't be too hard [six hours per week, he says?], and the education course doesn't have that much to it other than some reading, writing, and speaking, which is fine. It'll be a nice change.

So I'll tell you about some things that I did/am doing.

Yesterday I went to the first Democracy Matters meeting for the year. The leader, Jon, was really excited to see me because I sent him an e-mail saying, "I'm pissed off, angry, feeling shut out, and ready to change politics. Also I am poor. What can I do?" and he thought that was very cool. I also wore my new Friends Don't Let Friends Vote Republican t-shirt, which pretty much everyone there seemed to like. A nice sophomore girl Christine made some really good cookies and I think I may have eaten too many but that's okay. There was also a very socially awkward freshman boy there whose name I forget, but he was a CS enthusiast so we were all happy to have him since the DM website blows. There was also a guy named Grant who was on Speech&Debate who testified before Congress for the Fair Elections bill, which is what DM fights for.

Today I have my classes - Math 0180 with the lovable Sergei Treil, then a recitation section with him or his TA, I suppose?

I'm not going to Math 0350 with Cole anymore. I'm only going to Steven Miller's class because his examples are much better and he's a bit more interesting. But I still may drop it because it's a huge amount of work. We'll see, I suppose.

Then is my education course, from 3-5:20. And this is where the conflicts begin.

Breakdance Club meets from 4PM - 6PM. I really really wanted to make it to the whole thing but I'm just not sure I'll be able to. At 6PM there's a freshman math exam in Kasser 205 that I'd really love to go to and kick ass on, but I'm not sure that'll work. Then I have tryouts for the Bear Necessities sometime between 7-9PM in Wilson 206, but QuizBowl is having its first meeting at 7:30 in BH159. Tae Kwon Do is also meeting from 9-10PM.

Thank god that's the end of it, though, and I can wake up early to get some homework done. Sergei just assigned some more that doesn't look too bad but I'd like to get it over with, plus do his extra work... yeah, I think I'm dropping Math 35. Hah. We'll see...

Peace!
