Good for you, though I fear you'll find yourself in the minority by stating that opinion. Along with me! It only gets better after algebra. Ah, the joys of derivatives, integrals, indeterminate forms, and Eigen functions.

The elegance of a perfectly solved equation never ceases to amaze me, though I'm not a mathematician. Wish I could have taken more math in college.

Co-assigning mathematics here.

Welcome, as well!

Although that post is not exactly the best way to start since now you just technically assigned yourself to Mordor with that.

(And, well, you're already in Mordor anyway, Celuien.)

Hmm...I assign kittens. What do you mean that's been assigned already? Okay then, I assign kittens that share your name. But aren't common names in Mordor already? *sigh*

Twelve-tone music. It's so fun! *dies of eternal dorkiness*

Writing official sounding emails to set up appointments with people. Call me nerdy, but I think its fun to type 'departmental advising specialist'.

Finally learning that the weird beeping I sometimes hear mid-conversation on the phone is call-waiting, AND learning how to use it!

After-class conversations with cool professors that last far longer than expected and only end when you glance at the clock and realize that you've got fifteen minutes to get back to your dorm and, from there, over to the art studio. Setting up independent studies for next autumn; finalizing details for an independent project this term; basically anything where I get to go off to learn and do something cool and not be bound by traditional classroom constraints.

Aloe for sunburns.

Unexpected packages in the mail.

The feeling of cold water splashing on your face after an intense physical activity on a hot day. And the cold drink that soothes your parched mouth.

Magnesium carbonate, my good ol' climbing buddy. It's a miracle worker! (But not when it finds its way under my nails.)

The lovely reactions of people when you return to school after a two week absence

I assign the commencement of a dialogue, beginning with Nietzsche and ending with Taoism, resulting in the wry birth of such statements as "If ever I was meant to be anything, surely I am already." and "I occupy space."
