I have a midterm tomorrow. I'm assiduously not thinking about the insane number of assignments that have to be done by Monday. Or about the various group projects that I haven't been giving enough attention.
Oh, that's right. I'm not thinking about all that. Just the software engineering midterm. I'm also wondering when the earthquakes in Niigata are going to let up. The people of Niigata are doubtless on the same wavelength as I am. I should probably turn off the TV (I get TV Japan), but the image of the building that's broken in half and fallen into the street exerts a strange fascination, even on the local people who are running up to look at it, despite the fact that they simply have to have been told to stay away from collapsed buildings a minimum of four hundred times in the past few days.
And I should really be studying.
