The Cliffs of Insanity

This is one of the most surrealistic days of my life, like a Dalí painting.

I woke up feeling awful after four hours of sleep. The first thing I did was crashing a class. When crashing a class you go there without being registered and hope to get in. It was a math class and well, we had to write a proof of some statement. It was supposed to be done by induction, but I wrote one line stating that since the multiple of two positive integers is larger than zero, the statement was obvious. Somehow I felt that this didn't suit the instructor at all.

After buying books on Amazon.com for $220 I went to the a welcome reception for international students. Youtube had promised to make sushi and at the welcome reception we invited people over to Al's for the evening. It was really fun. Youtube cooked rice and rolled sushi for hours while we watched, talked and enjoyed ourselves.

Later, when I got home I entered a world of insanity. There where people at our place, but I could find any of my room mates. My neighbor was there and told that his room mate had fallen off the cliffs by the sea and was in the hospital. He was worried and upset. Last year one of Sho's friends died falling off the cliffs, so she had an emotional meltdown when she heard about it. Zac and his room mates went to the hospital, but we still haven't heard from them how bad it is. My roomies wanted to go after in the car, but I stopped them, saying they were incapable of driving and that we didn't want to end up in the hospital, although that was precisely the purpose.

There's still people on our balcony, smoking, while my roomies have gone to bed, taking care of Sho, trying to cheer her up. She is really sad and upset because of all the bad memories that have been triggered.

oh, it's knocking on the door, it's Zac's signal. He tells that everything is all right with his roomie, he's gonna be fine and is coming home with his brother soon. Everything's gonna be all right.
