Well, just got back from Asia, and it is time to leave home again, now, off to college.
Oh, and that new Mac Pro sure does look sexy. Sure am looking forward to getting one.
Also, cool new game I discovered: Kingdom of Loathing. A very fun game, and also free. Read some of the reviews, and check it out. My user name is LokiSnake
Well, it's my second day at Mudd, and I've already have loads of fun. The orientation directors have done a wonderful job at designing a fully packed program, and everything has been great.
Today afternoon we had the first game of Muddball, and it was awesome. They have these huge balls, almost as tall as a normal person, and the game is kind of played as capture the flag. It was lots of fun to play and to watch.
Also, hearing just some of the legends, stories, etc. from all the students has only made the place even better, and tonight there is a whole Mudd Lores and S'mores program. I just can't wait for that.
Well, I'll post more later. Life here has kind of tired me out, and school/class hasn't even started yet!
Well, here's the lowdown on how hard it's been up to now (third day of classes).
The linear algebra lectures are simply amazing. When I go to class and the lecture starts, I am most likely lost, but by the time class is over, I suddenly get one of those "aha" moments, and it all makes sense. It seems to be nearly the same for reading the physics text, Intro to Special Relativity (which is actually written by faculty of Mudd). Hum1 is not too bad, as the play we are reading is quite fun.
So, today's schedule looks like I need to go to physics class, buy chem lab materials, do the chem proficiency exam, do LinAl homework, read the math book, finish reading the play for Hum1, and to have fun!
So yeah, just for the second day of classes, it is a decent amount of work. Well, if it gets any better, there'll most likely be a "Workload at Mudd: Fact or Myth Part II" coming up.
