"Elements of fantasy must grow out of something that people can recognize. That is, instead of escape, it becomes a way of enabling readers to experience the world they're reading about more intensely than the world in which they live." -Salman Rushdie

Two of my three TAs suck. They are stupid. Well, one is stupid and the other can't teach. The third TA is actually a professor, I think (er...she is old, anyway); she is all right, though it doesn't really matter since the class is music.

...I think I need to start getting more than four hours of sleep.

Sleep is good. It allows you to sit through boring classes.

I think today's History discussion was the most interesting History recitation I've had in a long time, mainly because I didn't actually finish the reading. :x Well . . . reading an actual book is also better than random Powerpoint slides and photocopied packets of letters.

One of my TAs is a professor too, but that's not the one I'm referring to. The TA-professor is strange. He was assigning people to do mini-presentations and he seemed bent on getting at least one girl and one guy in each group (of just three people) and getting at least one person named Wong in each group.

He failed even though there are four of us and there are only three groups. How sad, right?
