the mind and language

best. day. ever.

1. first the ling100 professor said yes, i can take his course. he also suggested that i instead might want to take something more advanced. but that if i want to be in his, i can. the thing is, his course is a prereq for almost everything else, so as far as future classes i maybe should get it out of the way. but given that the goal is to get into grad school, i will investigate other options. not sure if anyone else will let me in at this point, but then i didn't really think this guy would say yes either.

2. then i wandered around finding offices & writing down office hours. found my summer prof's new office but she wasn't there. i think i'm starting to figure out dwinelle, amazingly.

3. then i got my calnet id all sorted.

4. then i was able to look up my summer grade.

5. then i went to phonology. and learned a little about how birds mimic human speech. among other things. my phonology professor is awesome, he indulges in interesting digressions and i for one appreciate that.
