September 19, 2000:

Life is improving at UPenn, this very much thanks to the women. Penn's girls really scared me when coming here, this as they dressed worse than most men and walked around in an even more masculine manner. The school uniform seemed to be a pair of 80s shorts and a random t-shirt, and my eyes hurt every time I encountered freshmen girls walking around with parents dressed in the same outfit. Obviously, their proud parents looked older (except the Asian ones), but also usually a whole lot fatter.

Now things have improved though, this as girls dress up to impress their professors on weekdays. Some girls even wear skirts! Even though I want to emphasise that this in no way gets the girls close to the clothing standards in Japan, they certainly beat whatever I am used to from Norway. My home country is for some reason proud to have the world's most masculine women, girls who will let their armpit hair grow so long that it hangs down to their knees.

Today was a particularly great day in terms of women. I have looked at girls for many weeks now, but today was the first time for me to see a model like creature with "God's gift to man" stamped on her forehead. Since she is in one of my classes, I am thinking of a good way to approach her. Probably I will go for a poem, and I have already written one I plan to read out loud next Tuesday. This is bound to impress her:

My loneliness is killin me (and I)
I must confess I still believe (still believe)
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
give me a sign, hit me baby one more time!
