I am drinking some tea (which is lovely, thank you) and getting lip gloss all over the mug. It's sad.
I have been driving myself crazy lately (short drive). I have no idea why. Sometimes I just get all weird. I am not really upset or anything. I think I am just feeling really uncertain. I have no idea what I am going to do with my year between undergrad and grad school (if someone will take me). Then when I think about that I get all freaked out about grad school again. Also, I have no idea what JM is planning to do with his life. I don't know if we'll live together after this year or not. He and I both have not really made good plans for next year yet. I think I am get worrying myself needlessly (as usual).
School has started again for me. I was enrolled in the three classes and I knew I'd need to drop one to be able to take on the lab and my senior thesis. Anyway, I've decided to drop the Philosophy of Science class. I knew that I generally despise philosophy, but I thought "Well, Science is in the title and 'science rules!' so maybe this class won't be so bad." Of course, I was horribly wrong. I loath philosophy and I loath that class. Philosophy has got to be the biggest load of shit. At one point in time a philosopher was actually more of a well rounded academic (math etc.), but now i see them as bags full of utter bullshit. I am quite sorry if someone who can actually derive some pleasure from this field has happened upon my lil journal. I do not mean to offend, but that class made me want to stab myself in the eye with the pen (and I like my eyes!). Right, so I am dropping it. haha
I am also taking a sociology class on drugs in society. I really like it. I usually like classes about drugs. In addition to that I am taking Psychological Data Analysis (pretty much upper divisions stats, but with a snappy title).
Anyway, I am anxiously awaiting the beginning of the lab! I miss spending all my waking hours in social science 2 building (I am actually not being sarcastic, I do miss it). Thursday we have a lab meeting and I am pleased!
This weekend I am going to fly down to San Diego to visit my sister (she goes to UCSD). She has promised to take me to the cognitive neuroscience lab she works in (and give me an EEG)!! I know I am a nerd about this, but I don't care. I am excited! I always like to see my sister and getting to be nerdy is just an added bonus!
She has also invited me a long to a Cognitive Neuroscience Society conference in SF. I am quite excited about that too!
More neuroscience you say?! Well, I am also auditing (sitting in on) Behavioral Neuroscience. The prof is the same guy that was my prof for Cognitive Process over the summer and the TA when I took Behavioral Neuroscience (two years ago). He is a cool dude and said I could sit in. I went tonight and it was way crowded and I felt guilty taking up a desk so I left early. Next time I shall sit on the floor.
I am thinking about switching my nipple piercings from barbells to rings. Someone told me their's bled when they tried that. I hope mine don't! I also hope rings don't get in the way. They seem like they might.
Lauren and I went for a lovely walk today. The weather has been exquisite these last few days! We walked on a bike path that runs along the ocean and highway 1. Santa Cruz, for all it's annoyingness, is a really beautiful area! I wish I had my bike here.
So . . . I swiped my dad's ABBA CD and I cannot stop listening to it. Seriously.
Alright, this blog is about long enough I'd say. I best be off.

I think by the end of this year, my nipple piercings will be healed enough that I can switch them to rings too, but I like my barbells.
