settling in, part two

Jan 21, 2005 12:00

So, I've figured out where the Tesco is, where the libraries are, and at long last, which classes I'm taking!

MAP293 - Number Theory

MAP235 - Measure and Probability

MAC223 - Analysis II (I figure it can't possibly be as bad as when J.J. taught Analysis I...)

PH-103 - Electricity and Magnetism (Physics II)
and last but my favorite so far: EN-339 ( Read more... )

You had J.J. for Analysis I? Ouch... he's the reason I dropped Math Studies.

Sounds like fun overall, though :)

Haven't I told you all my J.J. Analysis I stories? He was HORRID. He's the only teacher who's ever insulted me in front of the entire class (I asked for him to explain one of the homework problems one day, and he said something along the lines of "Oh, so you want me to break it down into baby-steps for you.."). He was also the only teacher who ever accused me of having a fetish for proofs by contradiction. Not a penchant, mind you, a fetish. What a weird, evil little man. The most frustrating part about it is that you can tell he's really smart, he just spends most of the class establishing just how samrt he is, rather than actually teaching.

So, yes. Moving on from those bad memories, I am looking forward to my classes, especially Measure and Probability. And, of course, Dylan Thomas. :D:D:D:D

Too staid. You're in Wales. Write more exciting posts!

Being accused of being a money-launderer makes for a staid post?

Haven't you learned - no one's accusing you! They simply don't trust you to open a bank account. I'm not sure I'd trust you to open a bank account, with the list of courses you're taking. Next think you know you'll overdraw your account buying textbooks. You're a risk, no question. But if you encounter some Inspector Gadget-type guy from Scotland Yard, I better hear about it.
