Champaign-Urbana Culture

Champaign urbana does have alot to offer, both on and off campus. Im feeling really disconnected from my academic life right now, and I need something else. Ive been looking on yelp and lists of things to do in the area and im happy with whats availble for me in this area: farmers market, good used bookstores, surprizingly amusing art museums, IMPE gym, good restaurants ( i need a good place i can frequent), ethnic food stores.
What i really want though is closer "regular" shopping, and maybe some forest preserve.

what i really want is a club i can really care about.

Things I Do

Im into linguistics again, mainly because i keep on thinking about resource description frameworks and why no one seems to have made one thats an actual language.

Everything out there is based on the concept of a triple (Subject Verb Object) rather than actually looking at linguistic typology and producing an actual language (one that is recursive). I really need to figure out why languages need context sensitive grammars; not so sure thats a good idea at all.

Hacking myself

i normally don't believe in doing things that force your will one way or another. If you don't care to do something then forcing your will (ex. having class attendance) is artificial and wrong. But, ... iono need to reevaluate, is hacking yourself in some way wrong if the will is just not willing to cut it.
