Surreal Week 22 Sep, 2005
I hereby declare this week “Surreal.”
Wednesday, my group in human development class had to present a talk on Jean Piaget. The first comment from everyone when we got our slideshow se up was not “When did he live,” “Wow, I didn’t think you’d find a goofier portrait than we had with Freud,” or anything else of the sort. It was “How’d you change slides without touching the computer,” simultaneously from all sides of the room. Powerbook + Bluetooth Phone + Romeo = technological awe. We didn’t get to go through all the presentation, so the remaining parts (to be presented entirely by me, gah!) to be done first thing Monday. We’d put the slides together the night before.
Second verse, same as the first. I was up late last night finishing my book report for history today (which garnered an ooh from the professor) and left the office a little early to actually get something to eat for breakfast, and ran into someone in the One O’Clock Lounge who I recognized and spoke to online but never talked to. Name withheld to protect the innocent:
- Tim:
- walks up “Hi, person’s-name?”
- person’s-name:
- “Hello.”
- Tim:
- “It’s Tim, we’ve never met.”
- person’s-name:
- “I know.”
- Tim:
- “Well, I was walking by and recognized you and thought I’d say ‘Hi.’”
- person’s-name:
- “You did. Ok.”
- Tim:
- “I’ve got to head over to class, ttyl.”
