Mothers

This will be the last post for now, since I still have my psychology exam to study for...
The last two will be done afterwards.

This post is about the different mothers that I have encountered over my life time.
Sure, my life hasn't been lived for a long time, but the people that I have met makes me feel much older than I am.

There are those who care, and just care because they do.
There are others who don't really care too much.
And then there are those who really, truly, and honestly care.

My friend's mom is like the ones who really care for me.
She is like an extension of our family. Though I only get to see her once in a blue moon (I live in New York, they live in Honduras, Central America) they take me into their home like I'm one of their family members.

I really can't wait to see her this winter!!
Though I hate getting on the airplane and having to put up with the airport security, I'm glad that I will have some relaxing time with her.
And hopefully we will get to go to the beach!!

Speed of airplane

Think of semiconductor stuffs like computers, cellphones or TVs. There have been huge improvements last few decades. computers get much faster, cellphones get smaller and powerful and TVs get thinner and provide sharper and cleaner images than TVs 10 years ago. Mechnical stuffs also get better than before like cars, robotics or appliances. If I think anything in my life, these stuffs are better than before. However, one thing that is not improving much is the speed of airplane. I am talking about regular passenger airplane. Their cruising speed is about 900km/hr or 600mile/hr. This speed is almost identical to the speed 30 years ago. With that speed it takes me 12-13 hours to go to Korea. Way too long. I hope the speed of airplane should improve like other stuff I mentioned above. If it flies 2000km/h(doubling speed), it would take me 6 hours:)

R.U.R reading

At the final the graduate students also did an R.U.R reading. The reading was pretty cool, although they didn't have to memorize any lines or anything. The entire story of the R.U.R was very interesting. I had read about it before when the professor told us about it earlier in the semester. I had briefly glanced over the summary of the story, but this version that the graduate students did was a little different from the one i saw on wikipedia. The electronics we had going on during the R.U.R play was similar to what we were doing during the hamlet skin. We were mostly doing the VJ-ing which was pretty cool.

After the R.U.R reading, that night on the train ride back home i was thinking about that whole story and what it would be like if something like that actually ever happened. I thought about what would i do, where would i go, what would happen? There have been many movies over the years that had similar topics. Although the main idea was always the same, the idea was changed very slightly, some movies had zombies others robots. I came to the conclusion that if anything like R.U.R ever happened i would head for the Antarctica or the Sahara dessert or something like that. Because after all what zombie, robot, etc would want to go to those places?
