It's Tuesday

Yeah, that's right. Tuesday, mother-flippers. Which means...I dunno. Right now it means I'm sitting at a computer. So, some mysteries of the day!

1: My tutorial room for today, SS 237, is well hidden in plain sight, off of a corridor that's otherwise empty save for posters, toilets, and cleaning cupboards. It's next door to the male toilets. There are no other classrooms in that corridor.
2: On the way to my lecture this morning, I passed through a crowd of about thirty people with downs who'd just come out of a class. I keep seeing these groups around, but I didn't know they were segregated. Please tell me they're not segregated?
3: I kept falling asleep in my lecture because I hadn't had a coffee yet. Best part was, there was an entire segment about how we still absorb information while we're unconscious. Guess what I was successfully putting into practise!
4: The previous tute had been a debate about legalising child porn. I guess it is a Freud unit.
5: The bookshop never has the books that I want to buy.
6: If Freud's little brain-trinity (unconscious, ego, superego) has been debunked by more "accurate" theories, what is the current theory?
7: Safeway keeps its rival breads in an aisle, and its own bread in a separate area near the fruit & veg. Clever?
8: The guy in Officeworks was the most unenthusiastic customer service worker I have met in my entire life. Least he was polite.
9: There are three people in my Philosophy class that I have seen and/or met before. All from different classes. I don't know where. Maybe the redhead was from Japanese last year? And I think the guy with the curly hair might've been in War & Peace.
10: I'm scared that this play might come off as sexist to some people. It's meant to satire sexism, but it might be coming out the other side? We'll find out as we go.

  1. Haha! Love the bit about absorbing information while unconscious. If there's any class you can get away with sleeping in, it oughta be that one. :-)

    (Reminds me of last week when Liesl was tired and having trouble absorbing/retaining the chapter she was reading about how memory works. It actually said, "Imagine you are reading a textbook, and you keep getting distracted." IRONY IS WONDERFUL.)
