Tuesday, 31 May 2011

I got done with my presentation. I thought it was pretty awful, because the lecturer has this somewhat annoying quirk: he keeps interrupting his students and talking and talking, when they're actually supposed to be the ones who are speaking mostly. But I survived it. And he thought it was pretty good; at least he said so. You can't tell if he means it when he says something like that, or if he's just being polite. But I don't mind.

After the seminar, I talked to a fellow student who is a lot like me in some ways. Both of us are way more interested in the language of a text than its actual contents. We agreed that this particular seminar is not worth bothering much. And I'm glad there's someone else who thinks so.

As we stood talking in the hall, my favourite lecturer walked past, smiled at us and wished us a nice evening. That made my day. :)

The afternoon was pretty good too. I met up with a friend and managed to keep my mind off the presentation for a while. I met this former classmate again, that I had run into the day before, and a few other people my friend was meeting up with. We spent more than half an hour waiting for the "herder's cheese baguette" we had ordered, which was actually quite fun.
