It's officially Reg Day.
Lord, I haven't been this excited about term since...well, since I was a frosh and didn't know better. I'm not sure it's healthy, at my age. I might have a heart attack, or apoplexy, or rheumatism, or something.
Also I'm terrified. Because ZOMG JUNIOR LAB. Will it be terrible? Or awesome? Terrible? Awesome? TERRIBLEAWESOMETERRIBLEAWESOME?!?!?!11?
In favor of terrible:
a) I am hell of awful at practical things.
b) I don't have a partner yet.
c) I have talked to exactly one person who liked Jlab, and that was Jim (aka Prof. Elliot in planetary astro) who said it almost turned him course 6. Which wasn't exactly the kind of endorsement I was looking for.
d) People say, 'so what are you taking?' and I say 'junior lab', and they sort of look mortified, like they really wish they'd just kept their mouth shut because they DID NOT want to know that about me.
In favor of awesome:
a) I dunno, I just have this kind of suspicion that it will be.
b) Maybe my partner will have orange hair!!
c) Call me a pre-med, but I REALLY LIKE making lab books.
d) It's REAL PHYSICS. And it's the single ordeal that will turn me into a REAL PHYSICIST, which is the single thing I have wanted to be for, mm, 13 years.
e) It is something people expect me to hate & be miserable at, which usually means that I will love it & kick its ass.
TERRIBLEAWESOMETERRIBLE...Stay tuned to find out.
In other news, Jeff thought I was extroverted. Ha!
In other other news, I bought a quart of orange paint from Home Depot, because it was so very orange and I couldn't stop myself.
And finally, I keep waking myself up in the middle of the night by sleep-laughing out loud. Dear self, WHAT is so funny?
