Dream entry
I don't often dream. Every once in a while I have a really vivid and emotional dream. I once ran across a hypothesis about dreaming, that our dreams are our minds going through scenarios related to our waking lives, in an attempt to run through possible solutions to them ( Read more... ) -
Honours thesis idea in one paragraph or less
Feeling sick and staying in so, this is what I will probably e-mail to potential Honours supervisors at UTS. I don't suppose there's anyone reading this who's already made such an Honours application at UTS and can offer me advice on whether this will suffice ( Read more... ) -
