I find myself enjoying problems which involves trying to visualize surfaces in three dimensions according to an equation. At 8:30 in the morning. Of course it's frustrating as heck when you don't get the...hyperbolic paraboloid (such names)'s shape right but...
Wow, I surprise myself. Heh.
Right so today I had my plant bio lab again and planted mums and marigolds and basil and other stuff. The teacher fed us watermelons again afterwards and I find it impossible to go through the class without smiling. The teacher speaks with an heavy accent and likes to crack jokes. For instance, today the student aid plucked a lemon from the tree outside and was eating it while the teacher was demonstrating how to plant stuff, and the teacher asked him what he was eating, then started explaining to us how where he came from, pregnant women usually get this craving for lemons and salt (I don't know, don't ask me). The guy went red and the teacher went back to explaining while we shouldn't plant a plant in the middle of the pot if there were more than one plant to be planted in the pot (sounds like...how much wood can a woodchuck chuck....).
Psychology tonight. Two hour lectures. Fun.
Meanwhile, I've been actually talking to strangers daily (which is as close to being extroverted as I can ever be) and am pleased to report that I am not the only one here who's freaked out by how nice everyone is.
Our RA's birthday was today, there were cards and stuff. Nice. I'd take a picture except everything's stuck to the wall right outside her room and there's no one there so....
Another unrelated note: I'd just seen the facebook profile for a guy who's last name is Reynolds, whose interest includes, I quote, "hanging with friends, exercise, movies, anime, martial arts, video games, enjoying the outdoors", whose favorite bands includes Coldplay and Postal Service, and DUNE and GREAT GATSBY in terms of books. He is also a freshman but, at least, he's not a math major.
College is a place for chances, isn't it?
Out.
