notts games, and they changed the rules last min so i sort of won an individual medal that i shouldn't have.
except for the girl in the semis that i didn't like her face, it was rather unfair to all the other girls. afterall, they are all pretty good, just not trained as much as i have.
next year's notts games: mahjong champion
hahahaha i want to win a medal for mahjong!
finished 2 essays this week, but tbh they weren't too much effort. one was 500 words, but i wrote effectively 1200. another was 2500, but effectively only did 1000 and just transformed the old essay a bit.
just submitted my essay to the BUPS (british univ philo soc), and if it gets selected i'll be going to university of kent on 5dec for a reading! exciting times.
basically a reading is literally reading out your essay to snobby people who are probably smarter than you, and then having to answer their critiques after that. it's the kind of pure intellectual activity that screams "GEEK!"
i am a geek
and so geek + geek = <3
and i solved nathan's differentiation problem today nevermind that it was literally o level math. my brain did math when his couldn't. which technically doesn't happen.
i'm a genius!
=)
anyone wants to go learn Christine Korsgaard's Symmetry thesis and then teach me? I'll cook pasta for you!

go ahead, deduct all my marks.
i will not subject myself to your stupid 500 word limit because you're too fucking lazy to mark the normal 1500 scripts.
out of principle

" I tried to remember ordinary details, the sheet music beside Bella's bed, her dresses. What my father's workshop looked like. But in nightmares the real picture wouldn't hold still long enough for me to look, everything melting. Or I remembered the name of a classmate but not his face. A piece of clothing but not its colour.
When i woke, my anguish was specific: the possibility that it was as painful for them to be remembered as it was for me to remember them; that I was haunting my parents and Bella with my calling, startling them awake in their black beds."

"I listened to Athos's story of the origins of islands, how the mainland can stretch until it breaks at the weakest points, and those weaknesses are called faults. Each island represented a victory and a defeat: it had either pulled itself free or pulled too hard and found itself alone. Later, as these islands grew older, they turned their misfortune into virtue, learned to accept their cragginess, their misshapen coasts, ragged where they'd been torn. They acquired grace -- some grass, a beach smoothed by tides."
Fugitive Pieces, Anne Michaels.
i've decided that i'm too posh for straits times. i do >$5 newsweek, times and economist. they're clean, easy to carry around, and definitely better for the brains. and they don't make me sneeze.

a single father on his daughter:
"Living together means that we sometimes have to manufacture our own kind of happiness, because the world’s idea of it is out of sync with our reality."
