Thoughts
We spent most of the night looking at different posters. The Advertising students got very happy that we were finally starting to get into their department more. The poster "The Kiss" I find interesting. It makes you think. I also feel that way about the axis power posters. It's fun to try finding their hidden meanings. Our posters on the other hand were a bit lame in comparison. Sure, the illustration was good, some of my favorite paintings were used for those posters. 
The movie we didn't get too into. It looks like it won't be horrible, so thanks, but still not something I would expect everyone to be sitting on the edge of their seats for.


Question
Ringling offers two different math classes, one that focuses on Statistis and one on Geometry. It is also possible for students to take a class at their local college in the summer. Based on history of all this, would you recomend taking a geometry or an algebra class?
