I went for a language themed class - Theater. What I was expecting was to go in to the class, sit down and listen passively to the teacher who will talk about The Arts. The first step into the class and i had to double check the classroom number. Earlier, I came from a class with the tutor calling us "The P*nis Club" as there wasn't a single female in the Psychoanalysis class. So I was a little taken aback when i stepped into a classroom with only girls huddling around the teacher (the small handful of guys were late). The whole class hushed when i stepped in (probably a little disappointed to find out that the first guy to step into the class is an asian). Nonetheless, I was thrilled. The rest of the guys streamed in only after the lesson has begun.
First activity - the usual oral self introduction was unusually quick. The prof ushered in the next activity with a Bang. She got the whole class to form a circle and we started playing ice breaker games.. the same type as the ones you would expect to play during orientation with equally spffy names like "Catch the ball", "Three Claps" and etc etc. Then it sunk in. This is an acting class.
I'm glad that I do not have to sit through long lectures on the evolution of the Stage. All I need to do to pass is to do what I do best.
Talk.

misconstruction
I have been answering several question evolving around how is it like to be back in Paris. It definitely isn't what I have told some of you guys. To clear the air, my life here no where near having "abundance of drugs, booze and meaningless sex". Damn. I wonder who ever gave you guys the idea that I actually lead such a hedonistic lifestyle. If I'm ever on a high, it is probably from endorphin, adrenaline and not drugs. If I'm ever caught between sheets, chances are they are sheets of exam papers and not bedsheets. Life is light years from hedonistic and a step from hermetic. How is my life here?
lonely.

variable change
In the movie 21, we encountered the Monty Hall problem.
"Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?"
What is the right choice to make? What is your choice? Answer.

right foot out
Come Monday, my exceptionally eventful summer holiday will be over. Even though I won't say that the past few months have been life changing, they definitely have changed my priorities. I spend a lot of my time evaluating relationships, debating with people who have values opposite to mine and reading economics books (i wonder why i hadn't considered taking it as a major).
I explore the possibility of not becoming an engineer.
