Language Ends When Math Begins

This week has been extremely hectic but also really awesome and for the following reasons:

No more Hungarian language classes!

This past weekend, a bunch of us from BSM went to the Mangalitsa pig festival, where I got in a fight with some of the local cuisine. Mild food poisoning. Not really such a big deal. I'm going to continue to try different Hungarian dishes. It was bad luck last time, really.

Also, this week was the first week of math classes! Because of my food poisoning, I missed Day 1, but it turned out to not be a big deal because I won't be taking any of those classes anyway. With BSM, we get 3 weeks to go to as many classes as we want. At the end of that time, we have to sign up for classes and finalize our schedules. I've enjoyed most of the classes I've gone to. There are some that have been so over my head that there's no way I'm going back and then there are others where I'm being challenged but I can follow most of the time. I've pretty much got my schedule picked out as long as everything works out.

 Where Math Happens

I say "as long as everything works out" because I'm not certain that one of my classes is going to make it yet. Dynamical Systems is being offered as a reading course for now. It will stay a course as long as we keep 5 people for the class. I'll get credit for it on my transcript, but we will only meet once a week with the professor. Most of the work will be done outside of class individually. I'm assuming this is kinda similar to independent study at Longwood.

So assuming this class makes, I'll be taking: Combinatorics 1B, Real Functions and Measures, Dynamical Systems, Great Masters of European Films, and Old and New World Philosophy. I'm pretty happy with how all of this seems to be working out. This schedule also means that I will have no classes on Mondays or Fridays. Hello 4 day weekend!
