The Quad

     The Quad is a magical place that signifies the center of East Campus. It is also where the UIC fun fair took place today. Every organization on campus was there to promote their club. I was invited to join the African student council, I found out that we have a mechanical engineering fraternity, and I saw kid get booted off of a mechanical bull.
     I waited in line for free funnel cake for about 15 minutes, but it was worth the wait. I was invited to three christian groups, a Jewish group, and given a muslim newspaper. I lost the newspaper and the laffy taffy I got from the UIC housing table. There were also sno cones and people with temporally blue stained mouths.
     The Quad contains several lecture centers. One of them is my Calculus 2 class. The professor is a crazy brilliant person, so he often diverges from the lesson at hand. We were discussing the area of a circle, but soon found ourselves copying down the algorithm for solving the value of pi. We were told to look into this more on a computer. I didn't realize that computer programming knowledge would be useful for my calc class. Oh well, that's life.
