Meeting People - Thursday, September 25, 2003
This morning I had breakfast in Rieber. I'm getting tired of the continental breakfast served in Hedrick. Nothing but carbs, carbs, and carbs. I talked with a sophomore named Jason, who gave me an ominous warning of bell curve grading, aka savage competition.

In the afternoon I went to my first class- the Math 31B Discussion, taught by a T.A. named Kareem. Right at the start, he dove into "review" differentiation I had long since forgotten how to do. And even worse, almost everybody seemed to be following it, except me! But I guess a lot of students were lost, because sighs of relief resonated when several students asked Kareem to explain a few concepts. Well, I'm catching on. Just need some serious textbook review. Did I mention I hate math?
