Ah ha! You skeptics and unbelievers! I got up on time today and made it to lecture at 11.30am despite a meagre 3 hour (or less) kip. I sometimes give myself quite pleasant surprises. :) It's, er, 3am now. I've had tea and coffee today. At different times, but I'm hoping the renown ying yang drink effect will make its way to me. Eventually.I promised my groupmates I'd have my part for the assignment up on FB (such evolution, from snail mail, to e-mail, to FB!) tonight. It's still tonight to me, even though it's really the next morning. But really, not like they're anxiously camping in front of their computers and refreshing FB every 5 seconds. So, who cares. Due in week 6 anyway. They'll see it when they wake up. Speaking of which, after completing this 300 word comprehensive essay about the body as a communication technology (which is just wasting my precious time and valuable mental energy), I have a reading log to do. Think that might have to wait till tmr morning. Of which I'd wake in time to finish and even arrive punctually for my 11.30am tute.
I'm quite thoroughly enjoying my current reading that has to be incepted in order to answer the baffling query of the body as a communication technology. It's about deafness and the conception and understanding of everything the universe contains without the acquisition of a spoken language. This is of cos only for the congenitally deaf. It's super intriguing (but I took a mini break and now I can't get the momentum back thus the blogpost) and so, out of thought? For lack of a better way to describe it. It's so unimaginable. I think it truly enlightens you on the much neglected essentiality of a comprehensible speech and the written words that go along with it in order to discern everything else in the universe (and even out of it). So what happens when that very fundamental knowledge is absent? With no intervention of actual sound, in what alien argot do they communicate and conceptualise?
Good, the more I type abt it the more eager I get to go back to my readings.
