Sadly, not taking honors. I couldn't fit it into my schedule last quarter (conflict with OCEAN 200), so I started physics this quarter. Yay for bad timing!
I went and looked at your LJ after the exchange of comments on uw . . .
Man, I hated the freshman physics sequence. It's pretty much the sole reason I didn't end up going into the sciences here; everything about it was just infuriating. Nice job on the letter, by the way--although it saddens me to realize that the same complaints I had some (...a ridiculous number of) years ago are still the ones students have today.
Also: I read a few past entries and decided to add you. Hope you don't mind, etc. You're studying fascinating things, you play the harp, and you write well. (Side question: Are you studying harp at the UW at all? Pamela Vokolek is a great instructor, even if she and I had fundamental disagreements along the way that caused us to part ways.) Oh, and you like symphony and opera, too...which reminds me, I need to renew my Seattle Opera season tickets for next year.
Enough of my rambly comment! I should go to bed now. Good luck defeating the evil PEG beast.
