Broken Weather and Strange Holidays
Wow. Like absolutely wow. The weather is... obscenely good. As in, I'm posting from the fields near Appel, sitting on a rock, in sandals. On a February day in ITHACA. ????????? Up til a few days ago, the weather was absolutely frigid, but right after that winter storm passed right by us and hit the east coast, its sudden became crazily warm. Meh, I barely need the over-shirt I'm wearing, I could practically be in a t-shirt. Where is our frigid, windy blast of Ithaca-ting weather? yeah, more or less.
Also, coffee is great for controlling coughing, but not as good for controlling laughing.
So yeah, let's see. Hm.. so yesterday, I got with a group of friends, dressed all in black and went to the dining hall to un-celebrate Valentine's Day. The problem was, the weather was too nice and we were all in a good mood, so we ended up having a lot of fun instead. Meh, it's probably for the better anyway. :p There was an interesting article in the JUSA Gekkan newsletter written by one of the male officers on how Valentine's Day is a great investment opportunity for females. To elaborate, in Japan, only the girls give chocolate on Valentine's Day, and then a month later, on White Day, the guy gives chocolate back. So he was talking about creating an investment strategy of buying really cheap chocolate, disguising it as something relatively expensive, and a month later, you can count on getting chocolate back.
Love and emotion, now reduced to an profit maximization Lagrange multiplier problem. time to cue the crying for humanity? And stuff.
