Calculitis...

Grades from the first Summer Session posted yesterday.

You might remember that I took Calculus. It was my last math class in the States, which was a little emotional for me. I love math. Turns out that I really love calculus. It has been my favourite math class thus far.

Anyway, back to grades. I expected to get a B in the class, as I had high B's on the midterms, and all of my quizzes were 18, 19 or 20 out of 20. But the final, I had no idea. There was one problem that I really ended up struggling with. So I figured a B was a safe bet.

I got an A.

Stephen called me his... well, lets just say it was a sweet term of endearment involving me and calculus and a word not appropriate for younger viewers, but expressing his opinion of my physical appearance.

I see you've decided to Briticize your spelling. Hmmm...

Actually, I have always, or at least for as long as I remember, spelled favourite and colour that way, though I am consciously working on Brit-icising. If I had I would have replaced math with maths, though.

I worry about writing papers in Brit-speak.

I've had a few students from the Caribbean (former British colonies) come in with letters before with words like "learnt" in them. Usually not a big deal, but when you start using slang like a car's boot or bonnet, I may need a dictionary. Thank goodness for googleness.

Leave it to an English major to give a crap about the spelling.
