:: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 :: So it was a long flight... Taipei to Osaka to Detroit to Boston. A total of around 20 or so hours. I miss Taiwan already. The tropical weather was so nice, and it was brilliant to see actual leaves on the trees! Ah, who knows when I shall return. Tomorrow is the first day of second semester. Harvard has a neat thing where during the first week of the semester, students can visit all the classes in which they have interest. They can pick up a syllabus, check to see if the professor is acceptable, and preview the homework load during the week. Then, at the end of this "shopping period," students sign up for the classes they want to take. Thus, tomorrow is the first day of shopping period, and I am looking at Biology, Calculus, Psychology, Chemistry, and another Linguistics class. Pick four out of the five above. What's frightening is that these are all broad, intensive, introductory courses. Sigh. I have been spoiled by my two weeks of non-work. Well, we'll see how shopping period goes.
