The heat is on.
September 19th, 2003 by MrLuxuryFashionGuruWhen classes first started, I thought: hey, this isn’t so bad… my math class is covering complex numbers and has a English professor, which is nice, the first chapter in the textbook for Chem 15 looks ok, and the lectures are only one hour long (versus the 1hr 40min lectures in Rj).
Now I’ve changed my mind. The second math lecture was much less interesting than the first one, mainly because the professor wasn’t trying, I felt. He mumbled, he spoke to the board, he ran through the math so quickly, and they refuse to give notes (which means students sacrifice comprehension for comprehensive handwritten notes). The only reason why I got it at all was because we’d covered all the material in Math C, AND I had my Rj notes for complex numbers with me during the lecture for reference. I almost felt sorry for the other students in the room. But then again it could just be me.
But Chem 15! The Wednesday lecture was just one big impenetrable morass of nuclear orbitals, angular momentum and stationary nodes, and the material’s not covered in the textbook, so I can’t even read up on it there. I’m just glad they posted the slides as well as the video of the entire lecture online, which allows me to run over the material multiple times in an attempt to decipher the stuttering, rambling, slightly disorganised professor.
I’ve decided that an hour is a long time for a lecture. In fact, already it’s almost time to attend the next lecture. I must get up early to read through chapter 2 of the chem textbook, after which I shall read chapter two of the econs textbook.
On a cheerier note, I was admitted into my second-choice seminar (FS46p: Human Rights), which is reportedly taught by two very highly-esteemed faculty members (one from the Kennedy School of Government, the other from the School of Public Health). I’m also auditing (ie attending lectures and screenings but not section – I don’t have to do homework or take exams) a cool class called Screening Modern China, a cultural anthropolgy class offered by the Chinese department on Chinese film. It’s in English, which is a bit of a letdown, but the professor is excellent, and the material is fascinating. I figure it’ll be a good break from the other science-y classes I’m taking (Tu, Th 11), plus Xin Wei is taking this course for credit, so I have company (and I can ask her econs questions too 🙂
In other news, I’m trying out for crew (for which I’ll most likely be the cox’n), I’m gone for Common Casting (the big combined all-at-one-venue theatre audition), and I’m probably going to comp for FM, the weekend magazine of the Crimson.
Busy, busy, busy. Goodnight.

.Ask yourself these questions. (1) In what part of the past would you like to live in ? (2) Why you would like to live at that time ? (3) Could you survive in that time using only the tools and equipment available at that time ?

Missä olemme nyt kehityksestä tiellä? Olemmeko tulossa sivistyneitä tai vielä mennään alaspäin polkua kasvaa tuhoisat voimat? Meidän lääketieteellinen tietämys kasvaa harppauksin jokaisessa sodassa, mutta ei niin suuresti kuin meidän tuhoisia aseita. Jos meidän lääketieteellisen tietämyksen oli kasvanut yhtä nopeasti kuin aseemme, voimme elää kahden tai useamman vuosisadan ajan.

.Warum machen die Leute verhungern in einer Welt, die mehr Nahrung als es braucht? Auf einer Webseite es sagte, es sei aufgrund der Logistik bewegt die Nahrung. Ich sage, es ist mehr mit Profit als einen Mangel an der Fähigkeit, die Nahrung zu, wo sie benötigt bewegen. Auch einige Länder der Dritten Welt exportieren Lebensmittel, die sie brauchen, damit sie Geld für andere Dinge zu bekommen. Wenn wir alle noch auf halbem Weg zu dem, was wir Menschheit nennen, würde niemand verhungern. Aber wir sind Menschen und nicht, bis unsere guten Ideale zu leben.

Las gerade über Ausschreitungen in London und in anderen Bereichen auf die BBC-Website. Sie sollen mit Gummigeschossen, CS-Gas und Pfefferspray, bis die Randalierer arbeitsunfähig sind. Dann liefern sie nach Afghanistan, damit sie lernen können, wie sie sich verhalten.

My last week of working on the government scheme. 🙁 Back to the unemployment queue next week. The scheme was only for thirteen weeks and that ends in four days. Boredom and barely enough money to live on. 🙁 .

There is a dangerous virus being passed around electronically, orally, and by hand. This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss, or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.
If you should come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest grocery store. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolating-Neutralizer-Extract (WINE) or Bothersome-Employer-Elimination-Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.
You should forward this warning to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

During a recent PASSWORD AUDIT by my bank, they found that I was using the following password:

When they asked me why I had such a long password
I replied
”Are you bloomin’ stupid? I was told that my password had to
be at least 8 characters long and include one capital”

Doctor Dave had slept with one of his patients and felt guilty all day long.
No matter how much he tried to forget about it, he couldn’t.
The guilt and sense of betrayal was overwhelming. But every once in a while he’d hear an internal, reassuring voice that said:
“Dave, don’t worry about it. You aren’t the first doctor to sleep with one of their patients and you won’t be the last. And you’re single. Just let it go..”
But invariably the other voice would bring him back to reality, whispering:
“Dave you’re a vet.”
