the other sadness first: only two hundred grams of
yummy belgian chocolate survived the flight from
amsterdam ... (wdc and i ate the other two hundred
grams, but i should have known to bring MORE!)
about feeling old:
i turned 26 on 23 september. when i came to mit two
years ago, paul thought i was in my thirties. my hosts
in berlin thought i was in my early thirties. i imagine
my appearance has lots to do with this (when i lost my
hair at purdue).
i began feeling old when i was seventeen. i feel less
old (young?) now then i did nine years ago. does this
mean i shall regress into 2nd, 3rd, nth childhoods?
if so, then shoot me now.
