Conjecture and Proof

...is candy. I've never been more excited about a course. Today, we dove right in and were shown 4 or 5 proofs of impossibility in 2 hours and boy. were. they. slick. This course is being taught at a pace much faster than I'm used to, but if I concentrate, I've been able to understand so far. Actually, the proofs today weren't very difficult, but coming up with them myself is going to be an enormous challenge. To give you an idea about how hard this course is, 60% is an A. "I've known a few people who survived this course" said our professor with a smile. It isn't show.

Other then that, I still don't have any homework and most of my courses aren't even starting this week. I'm at 6 right now and need to find one or two to drop.

Going to a party tonight. LIZA, HAGGAI and DAVID are having a few people over.
I'm excited about spending time with them and getting to know LIZA more.
