here’s a clip from i’m a cyborg and that’s okay, which i recently watched. the moral of the story is that “normal” people, including mental health professionals, can be more abnormal than the patients, something i find to be increasingly true the older i get.
the first korean lesson of the year went well considering that i forgot 80% of what i learned before going back to singapore. it is time to start inputting massive amounts of vocabulary. i wish i could just open some valve somewhere in my brain and pour it all in. or maybe chuck the dictionary inside and stitch it up. unfortunately it’s going to involve a lot more pain than that.
also, the first draft of my honours thesis was chucked back at me today, heavily annotated with critical comments that will entail large amounts of work as soon as i recover from the irritation of having suddenly to do so much work in such a short time. a not unforeseen scenario. the upshot is that in the course of the clarificational chat there is a good chance that i will actually figure out it is that i am up to!
