Tant va le cachalot que le dauphin se lasse. ~ Nik-Nouk

Just a quick couple of things I thought I’d share.

First, my friend Pat has this awesome blog. http://www.freedomisacupcake.blogspot.com/ He writes stuff. It’s cool. Anyway, he asked for a descripton of what it would be like to run a water filtration plant and I responded. I think it’s important for everyone to feel like they’re saving the world. I think we can do that with language and communicaton and we can do that by doing little things like recycling, turning off the lights when you leave a room, walking to the store instead of driving, holding the door for someone, saying “Bless you” when someone sneezes. Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves, or as we say in linguistics, take care of the sens and the sounds will take care of themselves.

The second thing would be this: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=ichannel I really get the feeling this is an ad for an Iphone or something like that, but even if it is, it’s done in such a way that I am intrigued and it involves connecting with the audience in a way that they can respond and interact and affect the show. It’s pretty cool. Check it out yo.

The apartment hunt continues. Waiting to hear about a couple places, both of which are really nice and in my price range and have some sort of connection to my brother – one a former student of his, the other is in a class with a girl he knows. Got a connection to a job. Hoping that works out. It sounds good anyway.

School is a bit blah, enjoying work and spending time with le boy and reading. Don’t mind reading for school, just mind going to class. So very dull compared with the books. More students need to participate in class discussion. That would improve the situation. I hate being in a class full of people and having only the prof and a couple other students who are actually interested. Sometimes the prof doesn’t even care! And this is why I skip classes. Which is a shame really. When I am in class I tend not to shut up though. I’m a very opinionated young lady.

That’s all. Hope everyone is well.

Good things: my brother is going to law school, I have a really great relationship with le boy at the moment, Montreal is going to be awesome, the weather’s getting warmer, I may make it to Podcamp NYC after all.
