none of that would have happened without that first physcomp class at ITP. enjoy it!

If I was forced to answer the question “What is your greatest failure?”, I don’t know that I’d have a failure big enough or deep enough to produce a statement like this. I’ll take that to mean I’m not trying hard enough.
