Was grumbling to a classmate that this might be only(!) the third week of the term, but it felt more like it's the sixth. On second thought, not exactly that. The term still feels new, though it is of course ageing fast as everyone gets increasingly frazzled since we're all knuckling down to the meat of the courses. No, it does feel like the third week (as I'm still stumbling over clueless first-years in the library, not to mention the remnants of student orientation activities). Only it also feels like each week is about 10 days long.

Broke the 6th string on my guzheng while practising yesterday. Damn.
