class summaries

I’ve now gone to each of my classes once, so I can make an initial judgement of how I’ll like them and the professors: Calculus IV looks to be an all right class, though confusing. But hey, it’s calculus, right, so it’s not supposed to be easy. The professor has an interesting accent and [...]

Let me add a clause to that: four animals I would not mind living with provided I had a big house with a yard. I’ve tried having a cat and a dog (at separate times) in an apartment with me and it just didn’t work out because I like quiet. However, if [...]
