<p>Argh pirates and saucy wenches,</p>

<p>I’m a junior now, so it naturally follows I’ll be a senior next year. I want to attack Spivak’s Calculus this summer for “self enrichment” and the possibility that its mastery will allow replace BC Calc with independent study in advanced mathematics ;D</p>

<p>But really I just like rigorous math. Anyways, I want to study a lot during the summer which leads me to the main question: Where?</p>

<p>Studying at home has a lot of distractions, but I’d hate to commute somewhere everyday. And the solutions manual for Spivak is on my computer (somehow it got there, don’t ask me! (less than legal…)), and printing it out would be so banal (totally, man). Maybe I should just head to a library everyday for 8 hours then head home? I’m just concerned that I can’t “enter the mode” (if that’s the mot juste) at home as well as I can in the library. So, any other suggestions? Maybe a park? Although that seems too romantic, and better suited to reading (and a most ironic choice if you’re a weeping philosopher wading through absurdist texts).</p>

<p>I recommend mixing it up. Maybe walk to a park one day, study under a tree. Then a library. Then a different library. Then maybe a bookstore. Coffee shops inside of bookstores are usually the best places (mostly because, if you want to take a break from one subject, you can wander around and pick another one to look at for a few minutes). I’ve always enjoyed reading inside of restaurants, but that’s a minority taste, and fiction usually works better for that.</p>

<p>I went on my roof a few days during the summer to read and think. but my roof is flat and comfortable.</p>

<p>^me too! I <3 my roof. But not to study, more like…other activities. </p>

<p>I have to go to the library to study. Like no joke, I am not functional in my house. I usually go to the local Pete’s or the library. Only my town cut the library hours and now it’s only open 1-5, so I’m usually at Pete’s now. I don’t like studying outside because the wind is annoyig. Just do what feels comfortable.</p>
