Linguistics is toying cruelly with my emotions. Everything up 'til syntax was great, but after acquiring a vast repertoire of failed syntactical systems, I've begun to suspect that aspiring syntax specialists don't so much burn out as undergo spontaneous combustion. But now we're on semantics, and things are once again peachy. Phonetics will probably hurl me back into the pits of despair. So it goes.
I'm thinking that I aced yesterday's CS (programming, not tear-gas) test. Unfortunately, I probably won't see it again for at least three weeks, if previous gradings are fit sources for extrapolation.
