i am vaguely befuddled by time.

and shall go to lunch.

only came on to add that e-ching is a dear. here's rj's us admissions advice page, and we're all being recruited to be helpful so email her if you'd like to be involved and have good suggestions about what she can do. and tell all your fellow sporeans.

i append e-ching's mail to von:

Dear all,

SARS is dying down here (we hope), your juniors are just being accepted to universities this month, and your even younger juniors are trying to find out everything they can about your university. Could you help them by volunteering to:

(1) Let J2s contact you with questions?
(2) Answer a basic-facts-type survey on your school (e.g. NS deferral, housing)? OR
(3) Answer our what-do-you-think survey on your school (e.g. atmosphere, good majors)?

If you can help in any of these ways, please reply to my students Chu Ci or Gaurav - we'll compile your answers and post them at http://www.rjc.edu.sg/USapps. Thanks so much - you are going to save hundreds of your panicky juniors from getting "I don't know" to half their questions!
