Graduation

I'm in a good mood right now. I'm listening to pleasant music, and know when I will graduate from the University of Minnesota. I just spoke to my academic advisor about it. I've been working on Semantics in a computer lab, trying to establish that sentences that are necessarily true are all equivalent (because they are meaningless and give no new information)

I have class shortly. Syntax. Boredom, people asking questions that are profoundly stupid, and the professor humoring them by spending 1/4 of class time trying to answer them. This is all in good fun though, and it's a great little bond that you can build with who-ever is sitting nearby.

Also, I saw a student who looked vaguely porcine (not because of being fat, but because of his nose and boarish stubble) walking along the mall. He was wearing a t-shirt in spite of the fairly cold weather. People who were walking near him kept their distance, like he was rabid. I saw looks of concern and bemusement, and a glare of disgust. And then I watched him dissapear
