A New Autumn

A new town, a new beginning, a new chapter in life.

I'm now about a month into my masters program in Applied Linguistics, where I'm taking a course on curriculum design, and TAing in Japanese. Meeting lots of people in my program; my fellow masters students seem more receptive to each other than undergrads would be -- which I find somewhat odd.

Through the content of my grammar course, I've discovered that a lot of my 'word' humour hinges on the semantic rather than the grammatical; although the wordplay is still there, certain functional elements are manipulated instead of structural ones. Here's looking forward to new discoveries and new friends.

'til next time!
