+
+Our housemate [[Adelaida]] (aka Aids for reasons we don't care to know) is
+going back to Hampshire college tomorrow so we organized a great party at
+the [[Acetarium]].

+
+=== Sep 3rd: Calculus ===
+

+
+Ok, today it was precalculus. I arrived on time, but I still had no paper with me, so I had to
+ask to someone next to me for a bunch of sheets. Quickly filling up a dozen of pages with
+notes after so many years of little hand-writing practice has been a bit challenging. My
+calligraphy still sucks the same way it did back when I was enrolled in Florence.
+
+I'm starting to build some confidence that this crazy idea of going to school is actually
+feasible. This Calculus A may even be too easy, but I'm still afraid I'd be unable to
+keep up with Calculus B considering my many little handicaps which include lack of practice
+for many years and being unable to keep my concentration for long spans of time.
+
+The dilemma is: should I take it easy and aim for the rewarding satisfaction of being
+good at maths for a change? Or would Calculus B be a better use of my time and money,
+even if there's a high risk of failing the tests?
+
+I have one week left to change my course plan without loosing any money.
