In lieu of a real post, here's something I typed up last night while I was "studying" in the library. Most of it is nonsensical, even to me. I guess my thought processes go kind of strange when I'm tired.
Hello Esther and Esther and Allen and Dan! We are all sitting together in a room in the basement of CCL. Why do we still call it CCL? Shouldn't it be Bass? Anyway, I am really bored and I don't know how to do this problem on the problem set. Rah rah rah, but at least I have done everything else so I don't feel so bad. Women and daughters? What does that mean?
This is very stream of consciousness. Like James Joyce. Ulysses. I didn't understand that book. I understood Dubliners a little better, but not much better.
Okay I promise to get back to work by 9:45. That gives me ten minutes to do nonsense and play around. I like the sound of typing on a keyboard. It sounds pleasant to the ears. Hen hao ting. But only if the typing is really fast and the person doesn't make many mistakes like I do.
I'm excited about this summer. Yesterday I learned that Capital Normal University is different from Beijing Normal University. I was very disappointed with the quality of Beijing Normal University, so I'm glad that DSICP is at CNU and not BNU. Though, the website probably doesn't tell very much about the quality of the campus or the program.
Esther Lee is looking very relaxed and I think she is chatting with somebody on AIM. But she should be working! EP seems to be working hard. Allen is on his laptop and listening to music, but I can't tell if he's working too. Dan just had an epiphany, so he's making funny noises. Should I make a funny noise? Nope. I should have brought my headphones.
The TV has a blinking yellow light. I wonder what that means. Maybe it turns green and solid when the TV turns on. A gram isn't very much, is it? It's barely one spatula's worth of chemicals, most of the time. Darn, tomorrow's orgo lab is going to be super long. I like the labs that only go for one or two hours.
Five minutes have passed already! Time is a fickle thing sometimes. Don't worry, I've sort of been thinking about how to solve the problem while I've been typing this. Not really though. I still don't know where to begin. I think once I know where to begin though, the problem will solve itself. It's sort of like math and physics. The beginning is the most important. The end just makes you happy because it's the end.
Why do people pronounce it "ThEE end" when it's the end of a novel or story? Is that just some artifact of British English? Or do people actually pronounce "the" as "thee"? I've never paid attention before. I'm going to ask right now.
Actually, I don't feel like asking. Wow, already 9:43! Okay, I think it's time to get back to work. I know I said 9:45 before but what difference does two minutes make? Besides, by the time I pick up my pencil and begin to write, it'll be 9:45 anyway. See, it's 9:44! Okay bye.
Edit
My pens keep disappearing. I don't know where they go. I started off this semester with four or five of them, and now I have none. Oh well. I hope they're happy, wherever they've run off to.
