Of languages and friends

Have taken Natural Language Processing as one of my modules. Got to do a lot with english and its grammar. I can speak pretty good english but I never knew how pathetic I am in grammar. I cant differentiate between a preposition and a interjection. Surprisingly most girls who speak english are better at grammar than I am. fux...what an insult...

_M has been a good find as a friend for me. The conversations revolve around philosophy, romance..with Maths that is and of course with little incidents and titbits we know about famous mathematicians and scientists we know. The conversations with him and others in the lab is very stimulating. With all PhDs sitting around me, this is a reason enough for me to continue studying here.

Now that I have mentioned one of my new found friends her..let me make a brief mention of friends and acquaintces.

S is from what is known as the land of Aryans is doing the course with me. A very pleasant chap who considers me as his good friend for I correct his english :) and for me, he is a good source of information about his country which I am fascinated about as much as people from there.
His sibling Y is just an acquaintance seem to be a pleasant person too and lies somewhere between strange and weird. J is the smarter of the two tho and seems to have multitudes of talent. Both of them might end up sharing the same roof as I would.

My roomie A, a PhD student here gives me some information about his state and about chemistry :) I had never found a person who works on chemistry before.
And of course there are other who research on Maths, Physics and Sociology..and yeah I am jealous of them for the subjects as fascinating as they are working on. And then come the few dozen students in my department who seem to know nothing beyond computers and the likes.

The rest are not worth mentioning :)
