Well ... things are crazy, insane, in many ways bad, but there's some good things. Just about everyone I know seems to have a lot on, and it's all crazy. I don't exactly know where I am, mentally, but I've got to ignore that which I fear most, my future, and get working hard for the three honours modules I've got.
It's all crazy, and I don't know if I can do it. My timetable's annoying: the high level groups module I might be able to excel at is the day after another exam, which messes up the preperation time, but I should do OK in it, which is all I need. My last one'll be the hardest. Real Analysis is annoyingly fiddly. Now I have to get some groups done, which I honestly relish.
While sitting in the exam hall for people with special needs [Extra time] I over heard the invigilators saying "We've run out of labels", which I thought rather ironic.
I recieved a letter through the university internal mail yesterday morning. It had my name and address handwritten on the brown envelope, with a plastic window. Upon opening the sellotaped shut part, I found an A4 sheet of paper, in landscape format, which was folded in half three time, the lines divinding it into 8 segments. The top left corner had the relevant "J. Kiehlmann" scrawled in print, while, in the centre of the page, in a basic font it read:
For a recapitulation of
Feynmann video
see The Feynman lectures on Physics
volume 3, Chapter 1 ("Quantum Behaviour")
available from the physics library
I've never heard of Feynman, haven't studied physics for 16 months, and know of no one who recieved a similiar letter, despite asking people who are in my classes and hall about it.
My best guess is that it is an oblique library reminder, love letter or death threat. Although, I don't honestly think any of those are that likely. It is rather curious.
I really wish I could talk to certain people just now. But I can't. And I don't know why.
