The Beginning of a New Term
Death Cab for Cutie
Summer Skin
Spring term just started at MIT.
Term began with everyone piling into the ESG lounge, welcoming the newbies to the study group. All of us bright-eyed, well rested, and determined to make this term better (since grades actually do matter this time around).
Anyway, the week has been completely insane, good thing IAP slowly brought me back into academic mode with 18.02A (Calculus II). I'm off to get some dinner and when I come back it's study time again...
My classes this semester are as follows:
8.022 - Electricity and Magnetism (for Masochists): the more advanced version of Physics II, with a lot of calculus and theory. Since I plan to be a physics major, this course is a must. And it just so happens to be taught by Peter Dourmashkin (this is ESG, people), who is amazing.
18.03 - Differential Equations: Ah, now that multivariable is over, it's time for differential equations.
4.101 - Experiencing Architecture Studio: I initially wanted to take Introduction to Photography, but, unfortunately, the class conflicted with everything so I had to go with 4.101 (which is also required for Architecture majors, as in I need it to do my double major in visual arts). Yes I'm completely insane, but we've established that several times already.
SP.2H3 - Ancient Greek Philosophy and Mathematics: This is my communication intensive HASS class. I haven't actually had it yet since the professor has been out sick this week, but it will start tomorrow for sure.
SP.237 - The Artist in the World: This is a seminar that Graham is teaching. Every week an artist comes in to talk about his or her work, and discussion about art ensues. It's fantastic! (more about this later)
Oh, and guess what?

What an exciting and demanding schedule. I checked out all 4 classes in more detail googling the MIT site. Btw, some tags may need closing; I copied the contetn in another file to read... All the strength and energy and have fun! Is it snowing in Boston yet?
