During our math discussion, we introduced our TA to a graphing calculator. Our TA is a genius at math and had always done everything without the use of a calculator. He moved to Chicago about two weeks ago from Mexico City and is still learning concepts such as knowing that a Freshman is a first year student, a Sophomore is a second year student, and so on. He was absolutely amazed that this little device could find the derivative or integral of a given equation.
For a desert at lunchtime, I had a rice crispy treat that was made out of Lucky Charms. So, it really wasn't a rice crispy treat at all, but it sure looked like it, just more colorful.
My roommate, Victor, Turned in his first assignment for his Architecture class today. He had to arrange a specific pattern of dots over and over again on a page until the dots filled the page. In addition, these dots had to look like a solid object when viewed from a distance. He had to do this eight times. Well, the assignment he turned in was eight parts, but he had easily made twice as many pages to get the patterns right. I think he used all the ink in more than two pens in the last two days.
Other important firsts:
- A girl on the fourth floor heard Bohemian Rhapsody yesterday.
- I donated blood and got free UIC flip flops that say, "We donate blood" on them.
- We now have a wall decoration for the cluster: A map of the bus routes around campus.
