Took some classes as part of my major; it was fun and enlightening, but also somewhat depressing. I was prepared for that, but some of my more idealistic classmates were not.

As an aside, its great fun to spend hours online familiarizing oneself with the ongoing feud between Jeffrey Sachs (who is supercilious) and William Easterly (who is snarky). The drama is almost as entertaining as the information itself.

I just finished taking developmental math (3 semesters of it) and am finally taking college algebra this semester. I suck at math anyway, and I was out of school for about 5 years, so I needed the help.
