Carnegie Mellon Fall 2009

Why are there only 15 minutes for registration and setup? Will people be getting there before 10am?

It's worked in the past, I'm pretty sure. Ilkyoo does a really good job and I believe he has help from his students. If there is anyone else I am not giving proper recognition to sorry.
 
That sounds awesome! :) What time are you leaving Columbus?
The drive is ~3 hours, so probably 6:30-7am
Looks like there isn't anything scheduled to get from Dayton to Columbus that early :( Would there be anywhere I can stay for the night if I were to reach Columbus on Friday evening?

So umm, does anyone have a place for me to crash for a night or two (definitely Saturday night, very possible Friday night)? If not, I think I might not be able to go unless I manage to hitch a ride or something :o

I told you I have room... I'm pretty sure Dave Cambpell is staying here too. Also, my apartment is like 10 minutes from the bus station.

Blah is like a broken record.

I know. That's what you do when you're a broke college student.

Indeed. I think Shaden is crashing at my place Friday night too.

If it doesn't cost too much more, you might want to take Dan's offer. Your call though, I'm fine either way. Too bad Megabus doesn't have any routes between its midwest and east hubs...

I think I've done all the math and I really couldn't think of anything better :( Too bad there's nothing scheduled for Pittsburgh-Dayton or Columbus-Dayton on Saturday evening/night. So even if I get back to Columbus with you (Jim) on Saturday, I'd have to wait till the next morning to get back to Dayton.

So here's my current plan:
  • Dayton-Columbus on Friday evening
  • Crash Jim's place on Friday night
  • Columbus-Pittsburgh with Jim and Shaden on Saturday morning
  • Competition
  • Hang around at Dan's place till Saturday night
  • Take a midnight bus back and arrive at Dayton on Sunday morning (it's the soonest Pittsburgh-Dayton ride after the competition)

Dan, Jim, Shaden - anyone have a problem with this? :p

I guess we can talk about all this this weekend at Thankscubing? :)
 
Well, I don't know if this will be the determining factor of your decision, but I just wanted to let you know that I am a math major myself, and I chose to host the competition on the same day as the Putnam. ;)
WHY?! :eek:

Let me rephrase that. It wasn't "I'll host the competition on the same day as the Putnam just to spite math majors"; it was "Hmm, the competition date is the same as the Putnam, oh well who cares"

Well I guess somebody does care :o

I get help from my friends, most of them took my course the first time I offered it. Even though registration/setup goes a little late, we have enough time to catch up. Thanks for the concern though.
 
If anyone can sell a ES 2x2 or maru or some nice kind of 2x2 and a 4x4 (es, mef or qj) that'd be super duper cool.
Tell me your prices.

Edit: I'm uber pissed. I might not be able to go cause my dad is being really annoying. I got a D in Latin and he acts as if it's the end of the world. Latin is a dead language. I swear I'm gonna be so mad. I only live 25 min away. urggg

I'm coming, hopefully will get at least a 10.xx in...
I registered for Magic, but mine broke :(
And my 2x2 is...well, an Ice Cube lmao.
Will anyone be willing to share? That'd be uber nice and I'll bake you friendship forever cookies.
 
Seriously, you won't go.. and it's 25mins away? Just tell your dad, that this is very rare to happen, and youre going wether he likes it or not.

He doesn't give a crap. He's like they'll probably have the spring and you can go to that if you don't have a D in your latin. Here is the thing I just aced a 100pt poem in English, a geometry test and a biology test and I'm doing ok in latin this quarter. But he wants me to start studying for midterms and junk. He's really pissed because he thought I was gonna get honor roll at my school because of all this bribery and stuff but I didn't so now he resorts to punishment.

ouch. sounds like my dad, but he usually is only like that for a day or even maybe a few hours and then he realizes whatever I did isn't that big of a deal (It never is) and I can usually do what I want as long as I'm good.
 
My dad really wants me to go to a good college so he keeps forcing me to do stuff. What he doesn't know is all my heroes didn't do that good at my age: Jimmy Fallon went to a Catholic hs and hated it (like me). He eventually got suspended. Jimmy Kimmel doesn't have a college degree. Seth Rogen dropped out of highschool and just did drugs all day.
 
all my heroes ... Jimmy Fallon ... Jimmy Kimmel...Seth Rogen

I'd agree with your dad. With heroes like that, you should be glad someone is pushing you.

What's wrong with them? (minus Seth Rogen)
Yeah heroes wasn't the right word, but people I kind of want to do something similar to. I don't really look up to Seth Rogen but I just think it's cool how successful he is and he dropped out of hs even though I don't find him that funny. But I would love to have my own comedy show like Fallon or Kimmel when I grow up.
