too nerdy...
I just realised that I probably shouldn't have put the post on emergentist theory on my main page...
Does that mean I should put in a new link for linguistics? If I don't, I'm going to bore all visitors to my site sooner or later...
By the way - a little shout-out to the person who wanted my blog-address after the Descartes class:
Sorry! Didn't mean to run off like that... my phone rang... I should have just called the person back. See, I'm terrible with names, and although I may heard your name before, I certainly don't remember it... and it'd be nice to know who you are :) Point is, I just wanted to know who you are when the phone rang... so please leave a comment and identify yourself!
Anyhow, last night I went to the 'farewell party' for exchange students who are either going home or leaving home after this semester... Patricia (this girl from Mexico) took all the pictures, and I only took one... once the battery on hers ran out.
We were both really broke, not yet having received pays (in her case tomorrow, in my case early next week :P), and decided we still wanted another drink after the first two free ones on the house. My god how we plotted and schemed (I'll spare you the details)! In the end, we found that the cheapest beer at the Champagne Lounge were $3, and since I had $4 and she had $2, we could both have another drink. I've never enjoyed a drink so much in my life!
Champagne Lounge is just around the corner from Spaghetti Tree, so after Elvira finished work, she offered to drop me and Patricia home... She came to fetch us and security were being ... idiots... to say the least - and she cracked the shits. Seriously! Elvira being angry is a scary sight. Don't mess with her!
I sometimes wish I could be like her... I mean, when I get pissed off people tend to smile and laugh... I've even heard "You're so cute when you are angry" a few times. Not Elvira. Elvira is angry and the whole world stops. She means business!
But by the time she got to my place (Patricia had already been dropped off), she says "I JUST CAN'T STAND IDIOTS ANYMORE!!" and burst into tears... well... A few tears rolled down her cheeks... and coming from Elvira, again, that's just so sad.
As I've mentioned in a previous post, she's worked so hard since coming to Australia, and she really deserves a break. She's so strong, but that doesn't mean it's fair of the world to treat her harshly.
I hope she's ok...
*hugs to her* (although I know she doesn't read my blog)
