listening to:leonard cohen – *
i feel so undecisive. i changed title 4 times. i used a wildcard in song because i keep switching, although its all the same artist.
anyway.
my day… or days.
assignment due in 207, which i diligently ignored for a while, and then with a friend’s help finished. thank you, captain! ;)
im so tired to type and hands are cold
and that would be my number one point.
IT IS SO FREAkING COLD OUTSIDE!!!!!!
whats wrong with this planet? come on, cut at least the poor univ students who have to walk between buildings and subways and busses and be outside every day a slack!
my number two point would be i wore glasses today. i have had huge complexes about wearing glasses for a long time now, cause … well, i got glasses about the same time i moved to canada, to a rather agressive high school so my associations aren’t that good. anyway, i woke up this morning, slumbered over to the bathroom mirror, looked up and realized i don’t look half bad in my old glasses.
so for practice i wore them today to class. i think it made me braver. i was the leader of a small group discussion and even spoke in class.
which brings us swiftly to topic number three.
she was lecturing for about 1.5 hours, and even more and not for a minute i felt tired, for the first time in my life! i could go on listening to that lecture forever. so much fun! so interesting! aaah i want more classes that cool.
and as a bonus every class we have a 30 minute video! i love the material SO much that i even took notes on the video! aaah im a total geek! but it is SO INTERESTING!!!
ie… when you’re 11 months old and two (to my ear) very similar (to my ear identical actually) chinese words are said, your brain waves register that you hear a difference between them
if you’re 20 months old and a north american speaker (you know, english/american), the difference is already lost on you. your brain waves register no perception.
aaah so neat!
and ther’es stuff about hemispheres, and critical period hypothesis, and second language and its all so neat. i can’t even imagine what else can we study. and… yeah! she keeps mentioning something very cool and then saying “we’ll spend a few lectures on that later”.
WEEEEEEEEEEEee.
