The humdrum of school is nice because it imposes order — there are rewards, a sense of accomplishment.
At the same time, it leaves me with almost no time to enjoy things. It’s odd, but now, after working for the last two weeks, even my favorite books seem bland. At this point, it is surprising to read about other people who place so much feeling into nonworking life.
Anyway.
To organize my activity this summer, I am blogging!
I hope to
a) Post math problems/papers/solutions
b) Muse in a significant way about the world outside of Harvard, studying, and the Fung Wah, which occupies almost all of my energy during the school year
c) Document my trip to China with pictures and shit.
A Harvard Education has meant for me an almost inhuman disinterest in everything. This is not to say there haven’t been bright moments where I’ve rejoiced in the conversation, the work, the whole mantra that adorns the side door of Boylston Gate — “enter here and grow in wisdom”.
It’s just that, sometimes, I feel like a zombie.
By midterms, I’ve usually lost interest in at least half of my classes. From monday to thursday, I work at least 40 hours. On friday, I give up, reflect upon my week, feel dissatisfied, complain, and sleep. I waste saturday. I waste sunday. On monday, the cycle begins again.
The only salvation in that from monday to thursday, I am usually too overwhelmed to feel dissatisfied.
There’s been plenty of other people who feel the same way. I guess all I really have to say is: to all the South Korean tourists — rub a load of this!
From Math 122. I couldn’t read my hand writing, and I wanted to try to learn commutative diagrams. So I typed it up.
There’s not very much commutative diagrams.
The Burj Dubai tower, as of september 1st 2008, is the tallest structure in the world. The only Kablaam I didn’t hate: Prometheus and Bob.
