i had my linguistics exam today. last night out of desperation i resorted to acrostic means to remember a set of headings for a certain bit. and this was what i came up with:

From:

Participants
Parts
Stages
Linear Sequence
Causation
Purpose

i got:

Para
Para
Sakura
Lanjiao
Cheebye
Puki ma

and it works like a charm. i can still remember it all now as i type it out. too bad i didn't have to use this bit of info in the paper today.

two more to go.

and home here i come.
