Personally I never felt much on that course. All I wanted to do was go kayaking in Quebec on the ocean with ma gal. Which I did before the course was over. We drove out from Iowa, got lost in DC, asking directions in the ghetto, and when we got to the campus, we hoisted our 13 foot kayaks up the stairs to our 3rd floor room and kept them in the room because we didn't trust to leave them on top of the car. I was impressed no-one complained about that. I stayed at Galudet which was pretty cool because the only noise you would get is occasional person screaming in the ghettos nearby, occasional gunshots, and police choppers, and the deaf people on campus shouting at each other using sign language (yea, real noisy people). Apart from that it was real quiet for a city. I remember the women bought Bevan a white suit, which he was embarrassed by at first, and I remember the fundie christians standing outside the flying halls telling us to repent. Everyone politely ignored them. OffWorld
