I like my emoticons, Applethief :D

Hmm..well with putting that into consideration, we could have two separate meetups - one on Tuesday and one on Thursday (I honestly don't mind - I'll be attending both days).

Maybe everyone could say which days they are attending/might be attending and I'll start making lists tomorrow.

I'm just going to orientation for freebies and to buy my lecture notes. Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity, Thermal and Classical Physics and Real Analysis (?) all have bound lecture notes! So these should make do until week one starts, but I might still buy the personal finance book unconditionally.
