Good god, when is she gonna update? Right?
Well, rejoice, for I art here.
I haven't been updating much for two reasons:
1. I don't have a computer at home. When I have something to express, I'm not near a computer and end up expressing it some other way.
2. Because of the above, when I do get on here, the focus shifts from working things out to just giving updates. So I usually feel like what I say here is boring.
So, my life. What's going on?
I think the biggest change is that I've started to warm up to the scientist thing. I'm doing really well in my big hard biology class and sometimes figure things out and feel smart and I'm going to lectures for fun and reading sciency books outside of class. So maybe I'm going to be a biologist, and that's ok. Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.
A spider bit me on the ear two days ago and it still itches real bad.
I think I have a lazy eye.
Here's some other dorky things I've done recently:
*Went contra dancing with really fit old people.
*Went to a singing circle with really nice old hippies(Vegan potluck, then sit in circle and sing Let It Be while strumming acoustic guitar). And I'm going every month because I like it!
I spent winter break in P-town with the family. Grandma is doing remarkably well. Aunt G. and Mom are doing not remarkably well. Remember Aunt J.--the bitchy lady with the three daughters, K1, K2, and K3? Believe it or not, after Grandpa (her father)'s death, she got hold of G-Ma and -Pa's debit card and drained it. Almost $12,000, leaving Grandma, in grief, with almost no money. She also posed as her father to get his cancer pain meds. Now she's incommunicado, and G-ma has gotten a restraining order against her. Even with all that, G-ma is still plugging along. She's really lonely, though. I am having a hard time trying to decide whether I should plan to go to school somewhere exciting in another state, or unglamorous but close to her. Right now, it's a toss up between Northern Arizona U. in Flagstaff and Oregon State U. in Corvallis. And maybe U. of Montana in Missoula. Argh, I don't know, but I'll have to decide soon.
I've been obsessively calling and e-mailing places to get a *paid* national park or etc. job lined up for summer. There is a botanist in Misty Fiords National Monument in SE Alaska that wants me to work for him, but he won't know if there's funding for me until late Feb.
Oh, drama: I have three other roommates at my house. Yesterday, the first roommate evicted the other two. There is serious tension going on. It sucks. I just want to pet the doggy and stay out of it.
Here, watch some slug sex: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtgPAQTJLQs. It's really weird but beautiful, I promise.
