Integration...

sorry everyone! its been a long time since I've posted last!

Here are the recent happenings!

At the College of Lake County in Illinois, i have been trying for some time to start up a functioning Go club. Things seemed to be going well. By playing Go out in a public area we were able to gain some interest with the general public. We had some people join us for a couple of teaching games however, they never returned :-(. So in recognition of the fact that we just didn't have enough people to constitute a "club" of sorts, I sought refuge in other clubs. The first club that came to mind was a board games club of some sorts...however, there is no board games club at CLC and we lacked the communal interest to start one. So, with a new club out of the picture, i went with my number two choice: the math club.

As all reasonable Go players know, our game consists mainly of counting (however simple), and lots of thinking. So this week i went to a math club meeting and game my schtik on how math and Go are related. a debate ensued! "Well what about, blah,blah,blah..." and "Well, Go demonstrates...blah,blah,blah..." and so on. Finally, it was voted upon by the current members of teh math club that Go would be integrated into the functions and events of the math club!

As of now, however, the Go playing has been put on hold, due to midterms. And as a result, more attention has been payed to the math aspects of teh club and its aide to the student body, which i don't mind (i need all the help i can get!). But rest asured that as soon as midterms are done and gone, Go will reign supreme once again! Huzzah!
