@AlgebraFact Ah Chebyshev polynomials, what would we do without them :)

[Eric Desmarais @dezmerez]

@jasminehare I know what you mean. Sometimes what is meant to be a nice & encouraging saying can be moreso frustrating

[Eric Desmarais @dezmerez]

@jasminehare seriously! it took me 3 months just to find a part-time job in the city?? A little scared with the "next step" for us :(

@shannonchatt Me too! To finish the quote: "…perhaps more than as a means of securing material welfare"

[Eric Desmarais @dezmerez]

@mcorbett0658 now with widespread information, who knows really? Screens can make you forgot the outside world sometimes…an escape

[Eric Desmarais @dezmerez]

@mcorbett0658 it's so confusing because if you leave and go do something else, you're "betraying" the family values/heritage/tradition??

[Eric Desmarais @dezmerez]

@ajbarry09 Jealous!! Wish I could've been there :(

[Eric Desmarais @dezmerez]

@shannonchatt Also scary!

[Eric Desmarais @dezmerez]

@shannonchatt I loved that play on words but also the depth of meaning it can represent. The route back to roots!
