I don't know if i'd say i'm good at it, but I took it last year. Isn't it fun! What made it even more fun was that my teacher was like 75 and she was almost blind too. She'd been teaching at the college since it opened...

Wow... I feel lucky, my prof is kinda cool. But that won't make the course any easier. I haven't had a math class in a long time. The first day of class we had to take this basic test to see how much we knew (mostly algebra and trig) and I couldn't remember nearly as much as I should... so I know I'm in trouble!
Re: Dinner @ Uwharrie work weekend 10-25-03
I feel your pain. I am taking the second half of physics right now, along with statics and multivariable calculus at VT. You are very lucky to have a physics professor that is even understandable. Mine puts half of the class to sleep.
I look forward to meeting some new people at the work weekend this month. If there is anything I can bring or do to help out, just let me know and I will use my vast college student resources to try to make it happen.

Well Mark, sounds like we better get to cookin'. Seems like there will be a bunch of folks this weekend. Guess I will make 2 pots of soup.
Re: Dinner @ Uwharrie work weekend 10-25-03
yep karen will probably come down friday night. someone will have to help her set up tent more than likely. i should be there by 2am so please leave gate open.(janet)(mark) karens wanting to drive her truck on the trails to so we got to keep it simple. she is not an adventure junky like most of us.
Re: Dinner @ Uwharrie work weekend 10-25-03
Don't worry, Darrell, Karen and I already talked about me helping her get the tent set up.
Karen, don't be afraid of the trails... the guys are great and won't try to make you feel stupid or anything and they will be there to help. Like they did for me, I'm sure they'll start you out easy so you can build up your confidence. After a while, you'll find yourself as addicted as the rest of us!
Oooh... my truck should be up and running again this coming weekend (didn't quite get it done over the weekend )! So, I'll try to get up to Al's to get your seats as soon as I can.
Re: Dinner @ Uwharrie work weekend 10-25-03

No, doesn't take that long to fix. Just finding the time to do it is the problem, lol But it does have to cook slow to get the good flavors right, and it sure is good!!!!
Now it's time to freeze it for the weekend.
Re: Dinner @ Uwharrie work weekend 10-25-03
yeah it takes a long time. ya got to let this stuff ferment and rot to get it right. even put some cheese infused marshmallows in it.LOL
Re: Dinner @ Uwharrie work weekend 10-25-03
Now that isn't exactlly how we fix it, that's just him being funny!! It is really good!
Hope Austin will make to help eat it up, just sorry that Kristen can't make it!
Everyone please remember that we need bowls, spoons and crackers and I got the soup, lol
Re: Dinner @ Uwharrie work weekend 10-25-03
I'll be here on Friday cause my sister is going to be down here in the city and is staying with me Friday night. So instead of going home like I usually do on Thursday night, I'll be here and I figure I'll get my cookies made and stick them in the freezer till next Friday for the work weekend. I know that John for sure will be happy to hear that I will have time to get them made...
