apparently, in the chinese language, “crisis” and “opportunity” have the same ideogram. that is, the same symbol that means crisis also means opportunity.

i’m pretty sure these terms are synonymous in American English too, at least in my life.

it’s finals week, people.

i am working morning, noon, and night, just to get these papers written, finals passed, books read, and kicking myself repeatedly for saying yes to doing anything non-school-related this week inadvertently.

apologies.

i offer you, instead of any details from my life this week i could remotely bore you with (and they all would, truthfully), a pun that i overheard this week:

“It was once said that a black man would be president “when pigs fly”
… indeed 100 days later into Obama’s presidency… Swine flu.”

you’re welcome.
