Hope everyone is in the mood for some delicious BBQ from Redbones! I finally located a kickball. It is so on.

Also, I'm sad I missed the football train. I need people to watch games with! Don't have a dedicated core of people here yet whom I trust with football and wings. It is a precious event.

Any of you guys Jets fans?

Please . . . anyone. . .

You're in the wrong part of the country to be a Jets fan. I would say it's more socially acceptable to be a Giants fan around here despite losing in the Super Bowl twice to them.

 

[jlk21490]

good luck with classes tomorrow everyone! 🙂

Jets and Yankees. I have it rough up here.

 

[PdxBosMSW]

I don't watch too much NFL but for some reason I find myself rooting for the Jets, which I shouldn't because the QB is from USC. So, you aren't alone. But I'm not a super fan or anything.

Don't become one. They've cost me over $100 in replacement remote controls over the past year. We're pathetic.

Don't worry, you can tebow now.

We need to score a touchdown for that to happen.

If anyone is looking to buy "The Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual" (8th edition), I have two copies for sale (1 brand new and 1 like new). PM me!

 

[sungjy1231]

Hi all, 😎
Anyone looking to save some money by purchasing the organic chem
Lab survival manual by zubrick from me? I'm selling it for $35. I'll be going to bio tmrw, so shoot me a message if your interested, and we can meet up on campus.🙂🙂😀😀

 

[drmsk]

I'm also looking to sell a PRS clicker (used for Gen Chem). If anyone is interested, PM me 🙂

 

[SomedaySoonMM]

Hey Everyone, I hope classes are going well so far! Does anyone happen to have an extra physics book lying around they would like to sell? If you do, I would love to know about it! Thanks 🙂

I do not, but it is certainly lying around. I tore that thing to pieces to carry chapters around with me. For some reason, I can't bring myself to do the same with the Orgo book (which is a beast).

 

[kinship]

Hey friends,

Good luck with classes today. I'll be at the science library reading a life biology book. I will be taking Prof. Roheig's class intro to biology. Come by and say hi if you want to start a study group! looking forward to meet the 250+ students today 🙂

I have one lying around that I can sell. Send me a pm if you still need one, and what you're offering. I will be at the science center tonight for bio. If you're there tonight or tomorrow night we could exchange.

Didn't know so many people were taking bio!

My physics book is a disaster. Good thing I don't need it anymore. . . oh wait . . . 🙁

 

[kinship]

Does anyone know a place where I could print for free at Harvard? Or is that impossible?

Any recommended study areas besides the Science Center?

Thanks!

You can print for free at the Grossman Library in Sever Hall. It's on the third floor. All you need to show is your class schedule. If you don't have that printed out, try Widener Library first. They will let you print out your schedule on the first floor on the left.

You can also print for free at the DCE Computer Lab on 53 Church St. You can enter with you Harvard ID card, or if you don't have one, they will issue you a special access card.

 

[johnnyscans]

Anyone who has taken or is taking A&P: is the custom textbook required, or can I buy the normal edition off of amazon. The custom version is $280, the amazon version is $170.

WTF mate.

 

[BlueFoxAZ]

as far as lab sections go for general chemistry and physics, does anyone have opinions on the lab TAs? or is it more just based on schedule?

 

[smiley27]

If I'm not mistaken your lab TF will be the same as your section TF. At least how it was for me last year. When I signed up for section I just signed up for whatever time was best for me. Labs for gen chem shouldn't be something to worry about. Physics labs are more challenging.

 

[johnnyscans]

It's based on schedule.

Chemistry: your discussion TF is your lab TF
Physics: you have a specific lab TF based on schedule

Does anyone know the name of the bar folks go to on Thursday for adult beverages?

Queenshead, it's on campus. I think next thurs. is the official heps kickoff event, jennet will fill us in on the details. It'll be bumpin there next week.

 

[Jennet]

Yup! It will be bumping. We couldn't do our booster this week because the bar is closed until Wednesday the 12th. Queen's Head Pub is located under Annenberg Hall to the left of the Science Center (if you are leaving). It is a bit hard to see now with all the construction, but we'll make the plan fool proof. Things you can expect: MCAT raffling, gimmees, the special 1636 Harpoon beer brewed solely for QH, and some Mardi Gras style beads.

Sign-up for the listserve people. We'll also be announcing the event in classes.

Tucci's 3 second cameo during Orgo gave me the warm fuzzies.

God I'm such a nerd.

There was an audible gasp when the Tucc came in; it was pretty comedic. Also, a delayed "oh yeaaaah" when we all remembered the balloon pop from first lecture. I wanted him to stay forever. The Sirinya/Tucc combo is unbelievable. I'm so pumped!

 

[LAnative]

Anyone know of someone who might be interested in doing some physics tutoring on the side? Thanks!

I'm TF-ing the class.

What do you have in mind? What would an ideal session be like for you?

I felt the urge to start clapping, lol. I think that was at the point in the lecture when I was think to myself: "wow, I am just now gaining a full appreciation for the awesomeness that is Tucci."

I second that..I'll definitely be in need of some help with the homework assignment problems.

 

[johnnyscans]

I second that..I'll definitely be in need of some help with the practice problems.

I TF the class and absolutely smashed it last year. I would be willing to work through practice problems with you. I haven't tutored the class formally before, but I'm sure I could help explain things to you.

If you're interested let me know, and I'll double check with Prof. R to make sure it's all Kosher on his end.

That would be super helpful, just having trouble with kinematics in general. Let me know what he says!

Where in DC did you live? I used to live on New Hampshire and S.

That would be awesome! Please let me know what Professor Rueckner says and would love to meet up for much needed help at your convenience!

Just waiting to hear back, I'll let you know.

edit: realized 10-4 may be confusing. doh.

10-4. Will let ya'll know.

Oh my gosh! You're a lifesaver! Thank you!!! Feel free to message me for details!!!

Unfortunately guys, as I feared, it's a conflict of interest for me to tutor anyone in a class that I currently TF in.

Bummer. FWIW, Reuckner will put up a list of tutors on the course website within a week.

I hope that helps.

Aw, thats okay! Thanks for trying -- I cannot wait for the section assignments to come out so I can find out which TF I have -- I might be lucky and end up in your section anyway! Haha My first choice was Tuesdays 4-5 I think.

No problem, thank you for asking! I also wrote down Tues. 4-5 pm as my first choice because of my work schedule, so maybe I'll end up in your section.

I'm teaching section s-8. You can attend any section you wish and as many as you want. The key is that you hand in your assignments in your assigned TF's drop box.

Hi all.

I'd be willing to tutor anyone who needs help in Physics (or Gen Chem for that matter!) I took both courses last year and did very well, and also have past tutoring experience. PM me if interested 🙂

Best of luck!

If anyone wants help with physics or general chemistry I highly recommend that you contact drmsk. If you want help from someone who has received several perfect scores on exams in both classes then drmsk is the tutor for you.

Hey! I'm fairly new to this site and tried sending you a PM but I don't think it went through since it's not in my sent messages. How do I go about it? Haha

 

[j3N12]

Anyone interested in an Orgo study group?? The first problem set is already no fun...

 

[Jennet]

For anyone wanting Physics tutoring help:

Contact Robert Cruikshank at www.knowledgeoncall.com. He specifically tutors for Rueckner's class and holds a CLASS, yes and entire CLASS on the material. Last year this was a 2 hour course for $20 on Sunday afternoons, pay as you attend. Robert also does exam reviews for 3 hours at $30 the week before the test. His private sessions are $50/hour and, while more expensive, are totally worth it. He is the reason I did well in the course.
