Happy Pi Day. . .



I asked Zach today, like I do everyday, how his classes went.  He usually gives me a pretty vague answer right off the bat but eventually gives me a few details.  Today, however, my question was answered with an enthusiastic, "Today was a really good day for two reasons".  The first reason he gave me is that it is "Pi Day".  March 14th3/143.14.  The Math Building at BSU celebrated this special day by putting Pi up around the hallways:

The second reason that it was a good day: "We started Long Division with Polynomials in math."

He wrapped up our conversation by saying, "I just really like being a student".

I really like how he thinks. . .
