Looks like CNY here wouldn't be too shabby afterall, if we can make the goodies last ^^
Minus the horrendous flight schedule, spring semester is starting off very well! I'm so excited now! *bouncebounce in chair in uber quiet cluster*
First up, I woke up at 6am - jetlaggggggg. But thats a good thing cos I made it to 830 class haha how rare how rare. Also, 830 class wasn't too bad cos the (brit) prof seems to know his stuff well and he focuses on current events yAy.
Plus, it's snowing! luv it ^^ Pretty outside and it doesn't feel as cold as yesterday's rain.
And the last thing would be the history paper I just collected. Marks were deducted for incorrect endnotes format (haha ok pathetic) and -get this- 'overuse of passive tense'. Besides that everything else was gOOd and I have a chance to do more with it =)
Hungry now. I just browsed through too many pictures of good food and its making me hungryyyyy but lunch is at 130 haha I feel like getting hot chocolate now hmmmmm.
Oh yah. Customs at Chicago airport was ^@#%@$#%!! The customs officer looked at my I-20 and,
"Math major?" looked at me suspiciously "What courses are you taking this semester?"
"Hmm some math courses."
"Like what?"
"Probability models. Graph theory."
"Graph theory? Graph theory? Graph theeeooory?"
"Yup."
"Graph theory? I was a math major in college and I've never heard of graph theory before. Whats that??"
I almost fainted. Not to be too mean, but wahlauuu no wonder hes not in any math-related job now.
So I mutter something graph theory-ish to him.
"How many math courses have you taken so far?"
"A couple. Maybe 6 or 7?"
"You look awfully young for that. Why aren't you taking calculus?"
"I finished all the required calculus courses."
End of stupid conversation.
hellooOOOoo I have a connecting flight to catch (which we ended up missing) and that guy is trying to be my academic advisor?!?!
