I feel so under the weather. I don’t know why.
It is quite overcast. Cold and wet. I’m also pretty tired, having been on campus until 11pm last night working on revising the draft of the proposal for my wonderful (and demanding) advisor. Am still working on it in the library. It’s a pain in the ass to have the laptop break down.
I’ve gotten two emails from guys that I met at the conference. One was a blatant “I’m hitting on you” email. I love how gmail lists a number of websites related to the content of the emails you receive. For the first email, sent to my gmail account, the websites I got were “meet Korean girls,” “dating Asian women,” etc. Hah hah hah. I guess gmail registered me as an Asian whore. Not that I care.
The other email was more nuanced. In fact, I’m not sure what the nature of the second email is. And the guy who sent me that email was not even someone I had extended conversations with. We’re not even in the same field, which makes it unlikely that we’ll run into each other again at conferences or other related events. So it was kind of hard to figure out what he meant when he said things like “I wish I could have gone to the Korean restaurant in Mexico City with you” or “let me know when you stop by ***; I’ll take you to wherever you want to go.” Since this is a second-language speaker of English, it’s also hard to discern how much of what he meant is in what he actually stated. He might have just picked the wrong expressions in English. I’ll just take it as a friendly email.
What can I do to get rid of this nagging sense of frustration? Boy do I feel cranky.
