News Flash: Fall Break Rocks My Socks

Fall Break began last Saturday and continues until today, forming some of the most relaxed (and fun) days at Mudd yet.

To begin with, on Saturday I went to Six Flags with a bunch of friends and we had a blast (which only cost 15$ apiece thanks to the CAP subsidy). I personally recommend Goliath but any of those coasters could rock the socks off of nuns. Disneyland pales in comparison - Six Flags crushed it easily. And the rest of the weekend has mainly been reaction. Which is definitely for the best, as most Mudd weekends are homework and panic filled, albeit just as fun usually.

One thing that Fall Break signals is the end of the half semester, meaning that I change humanity and math classes, and change subjects in physics and chemistry to quantum mechanics and structure, respectively. And now that I have taken classes at Mudd for about a month and a half, I think that I can make some evaluations. The main observation is that classes here are good. I am really impressed by the number of teachers here who are really enthusiastic about their subjects. And before you go "so what," you really need to know that it's difficult to not learn from a teacher who is excited for class every day and willing to put a lot of time into preparing for their classes. Even those teachers who I consider worse than other I would not call "bad." It's good enough that I'm really excited for my new humanities course (which is being taught by my awesome computer science teacher and a physics teacher who is reputed to be good as well). But, must go to bed now. I need enough sleep to do a good math final tomorrow (yay for take home tests).
