Ok i know that this is like totally random but this had totally slipped my mind earlier and methinks that it bears mentioning: last Monday during my American govt lecture was the first time ever in my living memory that i fell asleep during class - i had little sleep and little rest over the long weekend that i had in D.C., and had tons of work to do overnight between the Sunday when i got back on the hill and the Monday when i had a midterm to do and other stuffies as well - so by the time that i had to go for my 10am lecture, i was contemplating whether to grab a cuppa - but i eventually decided against it - bad choice since i was nodding off towards the end - i must have been really overworked i guess (though i wouldn't count out that the prof was explaining something by means of using one of those math function thingies that i vaguely remember learning about in maths C in J1 before i came to my senses and finally dropped the @#$% subject for good...)
The next day managed to get some relaxation by going for an NBA pre-season game, held coveniently at the Dean Dome right on campus - think it was billed as a homecoming of sorts since some players on both sides (Bobcats v. Wizards) were on the UNC team at one point in time or other... Anyhoos, it was really fun to watch, more fun methinks than football, probably cos at least i can better understand what goes on during a basketball game... For the record the Bobcats lost 84 to 100.
In the end i didn't go to Wisconsin cos the train scheduling was extremely unfavorable - and there was (and is) still much to do in Chicago itself... Did go south to Gary, Indiana though - again just for the fun of it - another very eye-opener of a place i must say... Anyways after the end of my three full days here i'm already compiling a list of what i want to see, which i missed out the last time; on my next visit here, whenever that may be, if ever...
By the way, it's a little worrying that my laptop is beginning to mimic the sound of a small propeller plane taking off from the runway from time to time...

Awww.... You should have gone to Wisconsin. I'm from Wisconsin. It's a nice place, even though the Packers are doing really badly this season.
Sigh yup - i would have gone if i had enough time - anyways, who's to say i can't go there next time (whenever that is...) =p
Hmm but how much would you remember, thought you left there when you were two?
I still don't get football though - it's just like rugby, i only know to cheer whenever the dude with the ball crosses the line...
But anyways, since i'm in Carolina, i'll have to be a Panthers fan =) (especially since the UNC team is especially bad)
