I hate days when there's nothing to do in lab. It makes me feel more like a high-tech coolie than a budding scientist. We had first aid and CPR training in the afternoons today and yesterday. The AED training is strongly reminiscent of the Mr. Bean episode where he defibrillates someone with jumper cables.
EK made me show him my blog. I regret I wrote last Thursday because it was unfair criticism. The caveat at the end of that post that "It's 2:31 am and posting this will probably be a cause for regret when I'm more awake," has obviously turned out correct.
This doesn't mean I'm going to stop posting funny stories about him, or any of my other friends who've discovered it, for that matter. ARE YOU GUYS READING THIS??? I'm really good at embarrassing myself in writing. Maybe if I keep banging my head against the wall long enough, calluses will develop.
Of course, what my frequent blunders and confrontations of this kind really teach me is that I should never speak or write of anything that has substantial emotional weight and go back to hiding behind a shell of polished inhumanity punctuated with spurts of forced humour...
Update on AQ scores:
- Hez 17 (spot on for social science people)
- SD 11 (wayyyy low for mathematicians) Between those two flers, maybe it's a good thing I like some normal guys =PPPPP
- BA (AT's roommate, who's triple majoring in physics, maths, and com.sci - and is a girl) 36.
I really like the Twister soundtrack, by the way. It was one of those chance finds at the Half-Price Books shop last week when the Koids and Tar were visiting.

I scored a 23.
yes, thesis is kinda consuming my life right now. that's the way it goes for the average senior at bates. (I've been intentional all semester about NOT letting it take over my life, but now it just has to get done)
that's an interesting observation abotu the prose/poetry thing. I most definitely am way more into poetry--I don't think I have enough sustained focus for prose. Jien took a prose writing class though.
i very rarely write about people i know for that reason. if actually do want to tell someone something, i have to tell it to them face to face =p i have been somewhat freer in blogging about people i know have no chance of even reading my blog though. my friends probably say i'm too honest with them =p
how was that unfair criticism? sounds pretty honest of you.
i've been following your blog for awhile. i'm rather intrigued with your writing, and i quite regret not getting to know you better before you left for america =p
(i do recall the times when we were both still in malaysia i was still wary / skittish of anything of the opposite sex =p)
Well, my problem with making frequent blunders is that I've inherited my father's bluntness and my mother's sensitivity to other people but without their discretion. The result is that I'll say things and regret them later, even though they were perfectly honest things to say. Which adds the headache of crafting apologies that are NOT also retractions, i.e. I can't say "no, that's not what I meant".
About the wary/skittish thing: me too =P
Mark & Pink: I believe the two of you grew out of that phase, tho'.
;P
hez : bah !
(maybe we've just gotten better at hiding it, which is the cynical view of adulthood)
i have this sudden desire to sweep everyone up from around the world and dump us all in the same place for a week of catching up.
Mark: damn bloody hell yeah. Confewsion for veterans?
Jer: I'm reminded of Kev Thomas' blog entries on wife-hunting...baffled as to why neither you nor he have gotten together with anyone yet.
