I wait for the mail everyday. I compulsively check my email. Sometime, sometime this month I will find out the final words from SanDiego and Irvine. It's too early to check for the summer research positions, but don't think that doesn't stop me from worrying. I'm going to give myself an anxiety condition if I don't knock it off ( Read more... )

am i really this old?

My classes this semester are time consuming. Cell/mol bio is hard, with lots of ideas and details intricately folded in on each other so that you have to tease the meaning out of one hell of a hairball. Genetics is good, challenging, but good because I'm interested. Phil of mind is a bloody pain in the ass with its history of bad ideas and ( Read more... )

Last night as I was washing up for bed at jen's place, I must have been leaning right over the candle... I didn't notice my hair was on fire until it reached my scalp. I patted it out, whereupon a great gob of charcoal encrusted hair came out stuck in my fingers. Defenseless in the face of reality, I stated the obvious -- "Oh my god, I just ( Read more... )

I went to my conservation club tonight, and the ranger there working with us to set up the new semester of internships happened to be the lady who replaced my father after he died as resource ecologist in the four rivers district. I asked if she had known him, but she said the post was unfilled for a year and she had never met him. I guess she ( Read more... )

just look at those typos.

In honor of my fantastically shitty day, I went ahead and ordered those latex thigh highs.

I've been trying to work on a paper for class in half an hour, but I'm not interested a bit. Truth is, I don't have to turn one in today, I just thought it would be one less to do later. I also want to get an idea if I'm doing it right. But it's a critique of a behaviorist perspective, and therefore boooriiing. Behaviorism makes my eyes ( Read more... )

damn onions.

I do this thing throughout the day where I am constantly reworking my relationships with people using make-believe situations... like, what would I say if I ran into so-in-so on my walk, and what would they say, and how would it be... I do a lot of imaginary and very unlikely scenarios, lots involving talking about sex. I like to imagine ( Read more... )

really, really I am.

After I emailed every account that I've ever used to get ahold of my dept. head on Monday, I still have no response. The girls in the psych dept. told me to 'come to the dark side'... Maybe, but I'm more interested in getting a bio BA if I have to stay another year just to graduate (fuck).
