For the poetry today, I bring you a little ditty I wrote in Math105 this morning. If you think it's strange, I can only tell you that an eight am lecture can do strange things to you.


why write on desks?

firstly the strange sensational thrill
...............like leaving a message in a bottle
....................(unsigned of course)
...............although it doesn't float away
...............the people do and
...............you never know who might see...

then coming back next day and finding
someone's added a little something
...............to what you wrote...
..................frivolous joy
......................unspeakable amusement for the rest of the lecture.

which brings me to my third point:
...............it's entertaining.
...............and why pay attention in class anyway?
...............the entire idea is utterly absurd.

it doesn't really cause a mess:
black pen on black desk doesn't leave much of a mark
and it's productive too

you don't believe me?
fine then, it's graffiti
but go look on the desks of your forefathers
now that's a miracle:

if you write on desks
...............someone might read it
....................twenty years later
.........................so after all it's a learning experience

write?


Otherwise the day has sort of sucked. Two philosophy problems abd a whole bunch of math problems took turns kicking my sorry ass. They're all due in tomorrow, too.

Plus side, though: I'm making friends with some lovely fellas in my Phil class, so that's nice. :)

Also: reading Russel Brown's blog Hard News, which I thoroughly reccomend, BTW, I came across this totally daft column (don't bother reading it because it doesn't actually say anything.). Hey, nic_the_hat, is that the camp you're going to mentioned down the bottom?

I really do like Russell Brown. *muses* I've probably said this before, but you can pick up such a fantastic range of stuff by following his links... No Right Turn, the NZ Magazine Awards, the very wierd Muriel Newman, etc, etc, etc. *thumbs up* Someone needs to syndicate him to LJ.

What degree are you doing? :P

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

BA/BSC in Linguistics, Mathematics and Philosophy. plus spare Astrophysics, English and French papers (this year. Look for Maori and creative writing next year. ;))

[nzlemming.livejournal.com]

Linguistics
Maths
Philosophy
Astrophysics
English
French

(Maori, creative writing)

Nice mixed bag. Weird, but nice

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's good, I like it. Probably won't have a job at the end of it all, but I like it.

[divinecirinde.livejournal.com]

Different!! Astrophysics sounds fun. :D

*Cringe* Oh, I know all about 8am lectures...although it's mostly the waiting for the train at 7am that gets me. This morning it was literally biting cold; the windward side of me I'm sure has suffered some kind of frostbite. If only I was fully in the lee of my own body...an impossibility, of course, but I can always dream and do my own head in trying to figure out how that would be phyiscally possible.

Liked the poem, by the way. I remember in 7th form I actually had a semi-conversation with someone purely by writing messages on the desk and reading their reply the next day. 'Twas fun.

*cringes in sympathy* Lucky me I don't have to actually get up until seven and then I sprint across to the theatre ten minutes before it's due to start (or, more frequently, five minutes after...) but I am very much not looking forward to when it starts to snow. :p

Heh, thanks. Yeah, it's cool! I never ued to write on desks, but then I read David Levithan's The Realm of Possibility and I defy anyone to read that without becoming someone who writes on desks. Tastefully of course, but still.

[nic-the-hat.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. Hmm.

You're going to a camp full of Aucks? o.O

No, just joking.

What a non-event of a column that was anyway.
