On the bright side, to balance off my whiny vent...
I had an awesome week with my brother before he went off to Japan (for good? Hell if I know - but I wish him good luck). I hadn't really seen him for 8 months before this, and last that I did see him things were kinda eh.. But now I'm seriously gonna miss having him around.
I also had one of the better lectures of my career so far today, mostly because I actually threw out all powerpoints and notes and just winged it for a while. It actually felt extremely good to both a) be able to show the students that I really know my shit; b) be able to actually talk to the students and focus on making it a clear, relatable explanation rather than talk at the powerpoint. This reminds me of why I hate powerpoints and why I love speaking from memory and own knowledge.
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
