I'm graduating in 9 weeks and I'm terrified! I really don't know what I want to do, where I want to go, or anything really. On the one hand it's nice to feel free but at the same time I've never been without a plan before and I don't know what to do.
On a higher note, I'm smitten. I'll leave it at that for...

Its always nice to have a cool, attractive professor. Good motivation to go to class, eh? One of my classes this quarter is taught by a 5th year grad student whose in a cover band that plays at a bar every Thursday night so I've gone a few times and now I have a crush on my professor. How much longer till I'm no longer...

So I see its been nearly a year since I posted a blog here. I guess it is high time for an update.
Since last I wrote it seems like everything is different yet not at the same time. The past two weeks have been not so good for me. It all started last Tuesday when my computer crashed and I lost my letter of...

I am feeling sort of bleh as well. I am glad we'll be seeing each other soon! Actually, I need to call you sometime today. (=
Saturday morning Dan and I were working in the lab and when our participant, Ilan, walked in he turned to his mom and said "Oh good! I'm working with my two favorite researchers today!"
Ilan's mom told me today that his four year old brother refers to me as "the beautiful one."
One of the kids told me last quarter that he really likes me...

Awwwww that's so cute!! =) You were always good with kids. (much much better than me!)
You'll find a sober and more age-appropriate guy to say such things I am sure. =)
I am glad to hear you sound a little better.

I wanna use and fMRI and I wanna learn MATLAB (well, not really, but it'd be useful). Shit. I am at the wrong friggin school. Well . . . we have pretty trees!!! HA so there!
I might take you up on the lab thing actually. If they won't pay me I'll just have to work for free for them and work someplace less cool for moneys. I am going to look into UCSF (that's where the girl saw the brain surgery) and UC Merced (it's close haha).
Thanks for being supportive about the JM thing. I am just trying to deal with it in my own way. Being optimistic and all seems to be working alright for me. Better than moping around, right? Some days are rough though.

I went to a Mars Volta concert last night with my friend Dave. They're his favorite band and I didn't know much about them so he insisted I go with him. I must be too old cause that concert was way too loud. My left ear is still ringing. It was cool I guess but not so much my thing. It probably would have helped...

Hope ya feel better Hots. I am feeling a little up and down myself, but maybe not to the extreme that you are.
Dad is visiting you this weekend, right? I saw him a week ago and we had a really good chat. Hope you guys have fun.
I register for the CNS thing!

I'm not in a very good mood so I thought I'd take it out on the cyber world. Right now I want to quit everything. I hate school, my lab is pissing me off, and I want to live alone.
First off, I don't like my classes. I usually find cog sci classes to be very interesting but these are not. I'm burned out and...

Sorry to hear. I know there is not really anything useful for me to say that'll make you feel better, but so ya know, I am here for ya.
Maybe you should tell Dr. P how upset you are about all of the lab stuff. You've been working really hard for him and I imagine he would be upset to lose you or know that you were feeling that way. Could you at least talk to Oriana (I am so sorry if I spelled her name wrong) and see if there is any way she could help? I feel like mom giving you weird advise. I know I am not in your place so obviously it's going to be your call. In my lab I am lucky to have such good people, but also to feel comfortable telling Alex if someone is not doing their share. Oh yeah, and no kids.
As far as school. you are so close you may as well hang in there.
I hope you feel better Hotsie. I'm around if you need to chat/rant.
P.S. You are a limp dick pansy.

stick in there. it'll get better after a while. i get in those moods sometimes as well. stick with school though. my only option right now is starbucks. i'm kinda stuck because i was too arrogant about school and stupid about it a few years ago. it's hard to really get myself to go back to school now since i've been away from it for 3 years. you got this.
Yesterday students had to evacuate the UCSD med school due to a bomb threat by some crazy animal rights activists. Neuroscience conferences have to have security guards due to problems with protesters. This is ridiculous if you ask me. Yes, some research is very cruel to animals but it's not done just for the hell of it. It's to HELP humans, perhaps save lives. Imagine...

Amen sister! haha
You sound like me and JM (and some of the other disgruntled UCSC kiddies)!! At least you guys don't have hippies tried to trees at the moment. Though, I suppose evacuating the med school is pretty lame. We don't even have a biomed building yet, thanks hippies.
Hang in there!
In the words of a great man, "Science rules!"

Was that motivational? I tried. I am new at the optimism business.
I am glad I visited as well. I think we are both in tricky situations at the moment. If I don't keep hoping for the best I might fall apart and I am way too cool for that. Also, I don't think I have enough super-glue to put the pieces back together. Did that even make sense? Doubtful. I ought to be asleep.
If you get too stressed out and need to get out of SD you are always welcome here in SC. I will take you to my lab. You could um . . . do an LDT . . . not nearly as cool as an EEG, but that's all I got.
K, bed time.

It's been a long time since I updated. Obviously I survived the fires. It feels like forever ago now. School was closed for a week so I went home for a few days.

When we had the soccer world championship here it was my faltmate who was watching every match. She was almost glued to the tv.
Long tim esince only men watched sports! I never did much of it even while being active in a team! (Handball not soccer) Last year I was working for NBA Europe and did not know a single one of thaose tall guys I was workng with! LOL! Daryl Dawkins is a real nice chap - I later heard he was a big star too. He sure is big! It was humbling being the smallest guy around with measuring a mere six feet...
