(no subject)

i want a nap, but i promised some guy named oren that i'd go to the hillel bagel lunch thing, so i can't go to sleep. i hope it turns out interesting, or else i will be much annoyed. i'm afraid when i go to french i'll fall asleep in the middle of class and it'll be horrible and awful. and i need to catch up with my reading...i haven't been really doing it, which is bad. i have an essay due in that class next week. i think i'll go change the grading option to pass/fail now while i'm remembering.

cindy and goldfish

i heard somewhere that goldfish have a memory span of 3 minutes or something like that. apparently, cin's memory/attention span is less than that of a goldfish, as evidenced by the following conversation at freshman honors seminar today.

guy with computer walks in and sets up to give a lecture
cin: he's probably from math
me: or programming
pause
cin: that's disturbing
me: what?
cin: what?
me: what's disturbing?
cin: everything
pause
me: what's everything?
cin: what?
me: you said everything was disturbing...what's everything?
cin: what?
me: what's disturbing?
cin: that he's from math or programming
me: oh...ok

the length of this conversation was two minutes or so, during which cin managed to forget what we were talking about three times. disturbing, isn't it?

yet another lotr quiz

this is the second time i've gotten frodo...cin says i must be very frodo-like

What LoTR Character Are You?

You are most like Frodo. You're very friendly, and you have a great personality. Although you like to have fun, you can also be pretty serious at times. It's pretty hard to get you mad, but once you're mad...everybody better look out! Keep that temper under control and realize that you're better off than you may think.
