Today I learned what the last digit of pi is. Zero. So they claimed... It's certainly debatable.

So today I found out that at yesterdays Math Lecture, which I skipped because I was starving, the first quiz was given. My reaction to that was "What? We have quizzes in this class??"
You see, the first day, by the time I got to Haas from Dwinelle, they were out of syllabi, so I didn't get one, so I didn't know there would be five quizes given randomly over the course of the semester (yes, that was a pun.). But, on the bright side, the quizzs are worth a total of 5% of my grade, so I'm only down 1% so far... But that's still the wrong way to start things off.
That's so irritating though, because I hadn't missed a lecture before that, and I had no intention of missing lectures in the future... Damn blast. If I'd known there would be quizzes, I would have been far more motivated to go. Oh well. So it goes.
On 1998-March-7 I went to the 27th annual CSUB math field day. In the 25th math field day, I got an honorable mention in the team medley for frosh/soph. In the 26 math field day, I got an honorable mention in the team medley for the varsity and a 4th place for the individual medley.. I had just edged out my friend Alan, who took 5th. This year, I took 5th in the individual medley, but took first in the varsity team medley along with Don and Neil.
