Religion, friendship, whatever

Posted on August 17th, 2002 by Sacha Chua

Today I had a rather deep discussion with Paolo Venegas about – of all
things – religion, or my lack thereof.

On another note, this person scares me sometimes (but in a good way).
He’s learning LISP and PHP, absorbing so much information at such a
rate. I find this encouraging. He’ll probably catch up in a short
while, but in the meantime I’ll try to do whatever I can to help him
learn more.

Today, too, I was quite pleasantly surprised. Turned out that I didn’t
actually lose one of my best friends – Eric Vidal. We just had a
slight misunderstanding.

Today I learned more about Emacs, too. Emacs is fun. Emacs is good.

Sleep is good, too.

I’ll be more coherent when I wake up.

Woke up. Overslept for my class. Oh well!
