chaos
Chaos.
The department is having a series of graduate lectures, starting today. My boss is giving two lectures on chaos. It's a strange feeling; just about everything he said today I already knew from the last course I took on dynamical systems and chaos in 1994.
1994! I'd ask for a recount, but I just had one, and it's the truth. I'm not worried that I still remember; I've had occasion to revisit this stuff from time to time. What worries me is just how long ago that was, and how little I seem to have learned since.
I've been getting a fair bit of temporal vertigo lately. It's coming up to four years since I moved to Bristol, and it still feels like I've just got here. And I still haven't unpacked.
Maybe it's time for some changes...
