it is curious that no one i know has blogged about the release of intern matching results a couple of days ago. i know it has certainly stirred up strong emotions - those who have been matched well feel relieved and guilty. those who have been matched poorly (or unmatched) feel angry and worthless. job offers have dominated all conversations and conspiracy theories abound about the integrity of the process. so why this silence in hyperspace? why this self-imposed censorship?
it's ironic that after all this waiting for the offers to come out, now that they're out, there is still uncertainty. and there is still waiting. waiting for the next six months to pass. waiting to earn and spend our money. waiting for something to happen, to show us the way. i remember talking to lou about this waiting business. while patience is a virtue it is no excuse to stagnate. while we wait, we can still act. so while lou explores interior design and ribbons, i shall continue to consider human behaviour. thus over the last few days i read two stories: the death of ivan ilyich, and the crucible. both with a strong moral flavour and heavy on the social commentary.
oh, and there is big brother too, of course. that's just one big social experiment. *grin*
