You're right, and we will definitely contribute something of value. The spring semester starts next week. I'm in for 16 hours (what was I thinking?) I'm psyched for it, and plan to enjoy the heck out of it. You're taking engineering? I'm impressed.

You're taking engineering? I'm impressed. Don't be. What they present in these classes is no more than an entry-level pro would be expected to know. I am taking a class in English grammar this semester. It was a surprise to find the course listed since I thought that English consisted of reading Chaucer and modern poetry and that grammer wasn't necessary or desireable anymore. Good luck in your courses and hope you find them challenging.

The worlds worst disturbance in a classroom ( from my own perspective). In the 70's during the final in Chemistry 101, theater style seating.
The gentleman ( I use that term loosely) sitting behind me had a good awful cold and the entire time I was test taking he was sucking snot. Not blowing his nose , not sniffling but that awful sound of sucking in and swallowing.
It was very hard to concentrate both on the exam and on not hurling. I wanted to turn around and slap the living shi? out of him.
Give me a cell phone any day.
