Look Ma, I'm a MIT Student!

Ok, so technically speaking not officially, but look how cool this is:

I found this resource online that provides all course material (lectures, notes, assignments, exams, etc.) for a HUGE number of MIT courses. Seeing as how I've needed something to occupy my idle hands, I've "enrolled" myself in three courses. 

I'm taking a course each in the fields that I received my degree in, Urban (Meyer) Planning, and Geology, as well as a course in the field which I am currently working, FOOD!

The courses are:

-Introduction to Transportation Systems
-Introduction to Fluid Motions, Sediment Transport, and Current-generated Sedimentary Structures (as seen above)
-Kitchen Chemistry

The only course that requires a textbook is the Kitchen Chemistry course, which is 'On Food and Cooking, the Science and Lore of the Kitchen' by Harold McGee. Well it just so happens that I already own that book, and it is one of my favorite food-related books (yay!).

I plan on submitting all of my coursework to the respective professors upon my completion of the classes, regardless of whether they will provide any feedback or not. I'm going to give myself the same timeline for the coursework as would be in a normal semester, starting right after we get moved into Brooklyn.

Seeing as how I didn't learn shit from FAU, I figured MIT would have a thing or two that it could teach me. I'll keep you updated on my progress!
