i don't understand...

i don't understand lots of things... math, for example... jessica and i are chatting and she made the observation that math grad school sounds to her like some sort of boot camp complete with first year hazing ritual (i.e. the insane combination of classes i'm in at present) in some ways i guess it feels like it.... but why is that necessary. we feel humble, we know we have a lot to learn... this is ridiculous, but we keep going because we've made it this far and we're all kinda in it together.

another thing i don't understand... my roommate... i start washing the dishes in the sink because i'm cooking some soup since i'll be up for awhile yet... i go back in my room a sec to grab another cup or two that have been sitting on my bookcase full of water, and return and she's washing dishes instead... (not weird), but either laughing or crying (can't tell which) louder and louder as she goes... *that* i don't get... oh well.

ok, enough disjointed rambling... i'm going to work on graph theory... oh yeah... current away message: enjoy =P

(3) the fact that i haven't really slept enough in over a week and a half is a _________.
(4) the fact that _______ is now in my vocabulary is "unbecoming" and probably just another ______.




If you guessed "piece of crap", you win... doing homework until insanely late again most likely., leave a message.
