- I'm not going to take notes on my Mac, for a few reasons. I would be one of like 2 people in the classes of 25-30 doing it, so I don't want to stick out. Also, when writing papers off the notes in class, I'd rather type while looking at a notebook, than shifting back and forth between word documents. Also, that typing noise is kind of annoying.
- As far as the ladies go, they are present. However they are either much younger, or much older. So no worries there.
- I've already started some of the readings. I'm a geek, but I find this stuff interesting. There's a Boston City Councilor and the Boston Transportation Commissioner in one of my classes, which is pretty cool.
While not currently a civil servant, I have government service in my bones, which means lots of naps and conference calls with no resolutions.

the only people typing notes seemed to be tools.
Yeah....I got that picture too. Hmm...is class participation even a part of the grade?
And the Bursur? Did you get a letter from the Bursur?
