cosmic_celeryOkay, so, I was browsing through the UCSD (University of California San Diego) linguistics department's website earlier today. I wanted to see what the lower level requirements were and yadda yadda prerequisites yadda yadda. By the way, it says I need two years foreign language and they're on the quarter system...so how many semesters is that? Two? Four? I have no idea.
Anyway, I clicked on the "Reading Groups" section of the site and found this:
The Experimental Syntax Reading Group meets every other Friday at 11 am to discuss methods of collecting syntactic data in an objective and precise manner.
Now, I don't know if I'd actually be interested in joining that sort of group. What I do know is that for some reason that is the sexiest sentence ever.
Clearly I have some sort of problem.
