Omg. I've been reading my old blogs, and I'm surprised I ever made a decision in my life. The process of schedule making is at best chaotic. However, this I already knew. Transferring to UCCS was not that helpful in clarifying my chaotic nature, because at Regis, I had to get permission for the classes for which I wanted to register, and permission to change any classes once I registered. Here, I only have to ask for permission to exceed 21 hours, and considering that I don't have to convince the dean to let me go over 21, that's not really an issue. I can even register for classes for which I don't have the prerequisites and all that crap. I think I change my schedule every semester at least 20 times. Maybe more.

But, I mean besides classes, I cannot make a stable decision for the life of me. Except a few, like how much I gated my old roommate. That one will pretty much never change.

But really, I mean, I read my old blogs, and I think, who the hell is that?


They're like some kind of historical record of historical historicities of my personality.

I have the Memoirs of a Geisha soundtrack from my sister from the library which=fantabulous.

Today, I went on a six hour drive, and my legs are therefore numb.


My mom got a tea-drip thing the other day, and it's purely fantabulous as well.


My school books right now cost $710 if I get them new through the school...and there are still three classes left (all science classes), so my books would cost around $1000 new. Making my bill around $7000 for next semester. I'm going to take out a couple of loans I think and pay them off myself.

I have physics today, which means I'll probably get my test back. My bad test. My nasty test. The test from hell. I'm going to need E.C. after those tests. We occasionally get some E.C. on the other tests, so I'm hoping for that. Man, that last test sucked.

Stupid E-M.

In other news, my life is lame, namely because half of this post is from last night, but for some reason did not get posted. Boo hiss on that.

I have no money. I need money. I get money on Friday, but only like $90, which is enough to cover my credit card. Yay.

Does anyone want to give me money? Or impart the marvels of physics knowledge onto me?

I'm so ready for the summer semester to be over, except I have 8 more physics sessions. Well, really, I only have 6 1/2 since there are still 3 more tests.

I want tea. Tea is so good that it never ceases to be marvelous.

My dad insisted on making my life miserable. Next week we have some family thing we're doing. I don't mind things until he goes on his "we don't do things as a family" rant. Seriously. That's part of teenage/adultdom. Dad has work, I have school, Erin climbs mountains, whatever.

On more depressing news, my family is not going to Mt. Rushmore, apparently because the Black Hills are ablaze, which means that I get no me time until they go to Disneyland in October.

On even more depressing news, my dad insists on inviting people (i.e. clergy) over to the house who are colon cancers waiting to happen. I mean, seriously, my dad was all "We need to get steaks and potatoes and chips and watermelon" and shit. Talk about two things that are absolutely destructive to the digestive system, steak and potatoes. He was all "you can at least eat the potatoes" while the linings of my digestive system scream in agony. Don't make biology majors, who actually have a clue about healthy practices, eat nasty foods that are bad for them! I'm a person who enjoys 1: Vegetables. 2: Fruit. 3: Olive Oil. 4: Fish courses. Steak and potatoes are not in any of those four categories. Red meat has been shown to cause all kinds of catastrophic cellular damage, from arthritis to colon cancer. Replace it with fish, like salmon or cod, that have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which help brain function, and low levels of saturated fats. Potatoes have absolutely no nutritional value. NONE. It's starch. If you want starch, eat a healthy plate of wheat pasta, topped with olive oil (which lowers cholesterol and increases cell membrane strength) and a nice side of greens. Watermelon is the most unhealthy of fruits, containing only sugar, water, and a small amount of nutrients. Replace it with berries that are high in anti-oxidants. Vegetables are crucial to any success in longevity. Broccoli and spinach and even asparagus are critical in maintaining a healthy body, filled with powerful anti-oxidants, essential minerals, and INCREDIBLY LOW in calories. If you cook vegetables, cook them with OLIVE OIL and not butter or margarine (the worst fat possible, due to high concentrations of trans-fat). They're also in the process of causing me to get ulcers out of sheer stress. I'm going to get "THE QUESTION" followed by an interrogation sequence regarding metaphysics. If it were just me and no family around, I would be blunt as hell, however, with family around, one must be diplomatic. I might enjoy crying this week. Alas, I have two years until I can go someplace completely other.

As you can tell, I'm thinking about cutting out poultry from my diet. Or at least SERIOUSLY restricting it to where it's like once every two days.

I am seriously hoping that my boss emails me and says, "I need you to work 14 hours a day for the rest of summer".

OMG. I figured out why my cell bio scared me so much this semester. I watched "A Streetcar Named Desire" on PBS last Saturday, since it's like the most AMAZING American play in the history of forever, and there was this scene where Stanley (Marlon Brando) yells at Blanche (Vivian Leigh) to turn off the radio, and there's this split second where his face is just kind of calm, and I screamed, because except for the nose, he looks just like Mr. Cell Bio. I had a cow, basically. No wonder I was freaked out, I expected him to bust loose wailing on any person at any time.

I need to get ready for school now.

Ok, so I used to read a bunch of your blog posts like every six months or so, but just recently i subscribed with google reader (meaning that i read it soon after you write it) so i'm a little behind.
1. how did you "gate" your roommate? and what does that mean anyway?
2. what is "THE QUESTION"?

thanks for helping me catch up.
yay electromagnetism! (my favorite part of physics btw)
