Pulled over on a random country road, a little distracted due to a wasp that wanted my chicken and some crumbling hillsides… hey I see a deer! But there’s a giant tick on my windshield, allow me to relocate… So, regarding the deer, once I quieted down and remained still to observe it, I started noticing a lot of other things as well: insects-- ( Read more... )

In my chemistry class I met a former English major who wanted to be a doctor and had gone back to school to take more science prerequisites, like myself, but without the fascination for eyeballs. We were both talking to another younger girl in our class, and I was struck when she advised the other student to pick a practical major, like business… ( Read more... )

I once wrote, “I realize I like physics so much because it is truly universal, not a small subset of reality under esoteric conditions (like chemistry!), but it’s ok and I certainly like biology… astrobiology would be awesome ( Read more... )

Mom thought I brought home a bag full of different coloured eyeballs... But they were just little citrus fruits, hmmm ( Read more... )

So, what have I been doing for the past year? Well, seemingly not much. Let me see, at our last update I was still taking a Greek class at my university. I was thinking about law school, but no longer. Now I’m an office manager doing various things of a thingy nature with eyeballs. Yeah. I’m somewhat all over the place, but losing my desire ( Read more... )

After class today my friend and I went out for a “reading party” (we’re such interesting people, I know) … I pulled over at a nice nature-y spot next to a creek and we both read “The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius.” I forgot how much I liked Stoicism really. I could use a bit more rationality in my life whereas lately I’ve perhaps given in to ( Read more... )
