Here's the class page, with a link to the (PDF) syllabus (I just mention it because I get irritated when I realize I'm going to have to twiddle my thumbs while my computer loads an unexpectedly PDF page). Also, thanks. Guess I'll go ahead and send it -- the whole applying-interviewing process makes me so uncomfortable, but there you have it.
Xander, don't speak Latin in front of the books!

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Emily, Good note! I would cut the "Also" at the beginning of the second sentence and make it present tense "I realize that I'd been unclear so I...." Sounds a bit stronger.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Emily, you might want to add something in the "I was really impressed with the school and your curriculum" vein. More warm fuzzies, anyway.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, as I suspected. You guys started a week earlier than us, but are currently more than a month ahead of us - we're just looking at factor groups, and will certainly not be getting to rings this semester. How annoying. Guess that "Ivy League" stamp doesn't guarantee extra learning, surprise surprise.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Such a fine line between warm fuzzies and butt-kissing. I was really impressed with the school, though I don't know much about their curriculum. I'm just so uncomfortable with the whole saying-nice-things thing. It's pretty much the same thing as not liking to get flowers for the first six months of a relationship. We just don't know each other well enough for me to feel comfortable fawning over the disciplinary policy!
And yet, that's what you do. It's a good point, Ginger, thanks. And Robin, good call. Off to edit.

D., are you using the same book? Hey, maybe you're just going into more depth, or... something.

Ah, but if there ever was a time for sucking up, it's in the post-interview e-mail. It's not like you're going to say, "You have the best school ever ever in the history of the world and I want to stay there until I collapse in the middle of an equation, struck down by the chalk dust that smells like the finest perfume to me."

Hey. New board.
Heh, I just checked, and yeah, we are using the same text.
We're supposed to cover the same material by the end of the second semester as you guys. We'll see if that happens..

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I feel like the bad wife. our anniversay is the Saturday - and originally it looked like we couldn't really do anything. Now we could , but we have stuff going on that day that makes it most likely we will beat that night. ( and $$) I know it is our 10th . But we all ready had a big discussion about how nice it was that we felt we didin't need to anything major, 'cause everyday matters more than one day.
