Sometimes I feel sad.
I feel sad because I have so much to share, but no one to share it with.
Would you like to be that person? I swear, it’s not about maths.
Okay, not all of it.
Anyways, I’m teaching a class tomorrow and one more on Thursday. That’ll be the last batch for this school year. Then I’m giving a talk at Cambridge on Tuesday (“You’re walking into the belly of the beast,” says my boss). Whatever, I’ve met the Cantabs. They’re all pushovers. Mostly.
Then again, I never did meet the guy in the wheelchair.
I’m just tired, I guess. I don’t know why I feel so stressed-out all the time. It’s not like I’m writing exams or anything. All this is voluntary.
So I guess the real question is, why am I volunteering?
Alexandra says,
… because you’re an overachiever and a really good guy?
At least that’s what I get from Phil’s Proof.
You could be a cross between Darth Vader and Lex Luthor in “real” life. But something tells me that’s very unlikely.
Bookish.Spazz says,
Whether it’s teaching maths to individuals, or shelving books and comforting screaming children, you probably volunteer for the same reasons I do. What those reasons are, I have no idea.
Maybe it’s just something to say when people ask you what you do in your spare time.
As for the sharing thing, isn’t that what this blog is for? Well, I mean you can share words on here, but if you wanted to share pie it’d be a bit hard…. unless you’re referring to the mathematical pi, then that of course you could share on here… but I digress.
I’m sure tons of people (including me) would love to be shared with. There’s no reason to feel so sad!
