hearts on sleaves

I've had at least 2 people approach me now about some of my comments from a previous post (week 1 - a brainfull) both in good humor but both in talking about brief references that I made to fellow flat mates in my dorm. I thought about just editing the passage to remove the comments but they are my first expierences - what I thought and how I persieved those people. The comments are hardly riveting stuff.

Since those experiences I have learnt more about the people I work/learn with and they have started to reveal truer colours - which, happily, makes them better people for me. I suspect this is because I've met people along my way who take the line of being load and abrassive as means of standing out and climbing to the top of the social hill. Its really hard to find out anything about them because you're never sure where the person starts and the crap stops. Ie "the load french guy" really does wear his heart on his sleave - the little guy seems to be a limitless font of energy who openly (to a degree) expresses it.

Anyway - thats enough face saving :) I suspect I'd better change direction now for a post or two and start writing about course related stuff...
