Christmas Loot

So here’s the list:

- The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

- Charlie Brown Christmas DVD

- The Far Side wall calendar

- A promise of some soft, handmade mittens

This year Christmas has been going fairly well. However, I must admit I’m starting to get bored. The current occupation is to read the mountain of Asterix and Obelix comics my Dad just got from the library.

I just saw The Chronicles of Narnia.

Wow.

Quotations

Right before the end of classes this year I got a new addition to my list of quotes from instructors. In celebration of being done finals (almost) I share with you the entire list (now aren't you lucky?).

Prof. JD:

"Every year at Christmas I steal a roll of tape from the Commerce office. I consider it my Christmas bonus." - Comm 102

- Prof. T:

"“. . . and I'’m confused again."” - Math 223

Prof. K (with a Russian accent):

"“Look for the logic; the logic is: if you have brain, you can crack it down."” - EP 225

"We have saying in Russia. You don't know Ohm, you stay at home." - EP 155

Prof. GP (all from Math 238):

"“It's a long way to infinity no matter what you do."”

"The thing about knowing nothing is you don'’t know anything."

"“You walk by a tree and a bird falls out dead; ok, you step around it and move on, not everything in life has significance."

"We don't around here send students into the jungle and watch them die, though that would be highly amusing."

"Yesterday my dog tore the couch apart. He is not a power series; a power series wouldn'’t do that."

Dr. LB (with a Russian accent):

"It'’s like trying to comb hedgehog . . . one thorn will always stick out . . . that is why you can'’t have a smooth vector field on a sphere. - EP 421
