The semester is almost over! After this week, there are just two more weeks of school, and then 3 days of finals. It's sad that it's almost over, but I'm excited to Todd and my winter break plans. Here's what we have so far. I'm going to Rome with Julio for a week, and then leaving for Paris for new years. After that we're going Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. I've bought most of the tickets so far, but I still need to buy the others before the price goes up. I'll post pictures and update this during my traveling.
Today was really exciting (math-wise). My algebra buddy and I spent all day working, and we were able to solve two problems! This may seem silly, but you have to understand that it usually takes me a couple days to solve one, so two in one day cuts the amount of work I have to do significantly. Also, it could be that I'm getting better at algebra, which is another reason to cheer. The Putnam competition is this Saturday, too. For those who have never heard of it, it's a problem solving competition given once a year to college undergrads, and the median score is normally a zero of out 120. My goal is to get an 11 this year. The test is 6 hours long, with a two hour break in the middle, and basically absorbs my whole Saturday, but it should be fun.
Wish me luck on the Putnam! Ciao.

Hope the Putnam went well! What a great competition...I think this calls for the fabulous RPI cheer:
e to the x, dy dx
tangent secant cosine sine
3.14159
square root, cube root, log of pi
disintegrate them
RPI!
(son of RPI in this case...)
or perhaps the eloquent, Bear Down, will do.
The holidays sound fabulous.
We've had 2 days of rain...Bob is running the half-marathon tomorrow.
best,

Hi Kyle,
I'm back from my month-long trip to Asia. Check your UA email, need to talk to you about your academic & financial plans.
Dear dear Kyle... Before you leave for your adventure, did you take care of school matters like registering for another semester, paid for room etc? Keep your important documents & cash close to u at all times, beware of pick pickets. Don't keep too much cash on you, PLAN AHEAD! Lost of clothes/money etc is replacable, keep Id/passport with your body at all times while traveling. Take a second to look behind for forgotten bags on trains & buses.
Just put some $$ in your account, wish u would let me know that u are aware of what we do & communicate more in detail of your budget & academic plans.
May God keep u safe & protect u on the other side of the world.
XXOO..
