Tech Squares Fall Class starts tomorrow (Tuesday the 10th)
The Tech Squares Fall Class starts tomorrow night at 8 PM in the MIT student center (see link if you actually need directions). If you are a club member who has been away for a while, it would be a good time to show up and at least pretend to keep your squares from breaking down. If you know actual current MIT students who can be convinced to try it, that would be nice too, since MIT is always bugging its clubs to keep up the percentage of student members.
If you have wanted to try it, this is one of two single points of entry (the other is in February). There's no obligation to come back if you don't feel like it, but you really really shouldn't miss the first class if you want to take the class at all. The full class is 13 weeks (Tuesday nights), but there's no commitment, and it costs $4 a night. Just to be clear, this is completely open to the general public, although we can't advertise it that way. You don't need to be MIT-affiliated at all, and anyway at least some people there will know you, so you'll look like you belong.
Standard disclaimer / reassurance: If you think it will be too hard for you, that is probably the wrong reason to not come, especially the first night. If you just don't think it will be fun, or don't have time, those are totally legitimate (especially the time, which nobody has). If you are reading this, though, you can get help from friends -- as much as you need -- if you have trouble with the class. Some people are intimidated by Tech Squares' reputation (I talked to several this weekend, actually), so I feel the need to be reassuring.
