Hi
How's it going? I know, i haven't written in ages... most of you know what i've been up to though....
in a nutshell, packing, cleaning, moving, Germany, unpacking, school. Yep, that's it. It doesn't sound that bad, i don't think it was.
So school is back in session. I hope everyone is enjoying their classes. I'm kind of wondering what the heck i was thinking. I've got a wierd mix of classes that don't even really fit together. I'm used to there being some sort of overlap in themes of my courses, but not this time. Well, Anatomy and Physiology, i guess. I've been working on Physiology all night, that course is gonna take up a lot of my brain power. I might have to plan this carefully.
So i don't have much to write, Germany was awesome. It was a little overwhelming, very intense. I had a great time, met some great people, drank some great beer, learnt some interesting things... it was a good trip.
So now i'm back in halifax, settling in to my new place. It's almost unpacked and decorated... so it's starting to feel more homey.
Anyhoo, i'm going to bed now. Maybe my colourless green ideas will sleep furiously. I was furious today in class when a professor totally misrepresented the phrase that pretty much sums up Chomsky's linguistic theory. anyone familliar with it? "Colourless green ideas sleep furiously". Essentially, as far as syntax (phrase structures) is concerned, it's correct. But it's semantics (meanings) that really tell us that it doesn't make sense (literally, i'm not going to argue it on the metaphorical level). the prof hardly touched on any of this... i don't even remember what she said about it... but not that. i hope that class gets better....
anyhoo... good night all
