So today began classes for Santa Cruz....
And I with my badass planning had none
to be sure, a wonderful pleasure....so I woke up late, and my roomie had been up since 5 am (I greatly admire this man's sleeping patterns, he went to bed at like 2 woke up at 3 went to bed at like noon or 1 then woke up after a seven our nap....this man is badass) and i got my shit together and headed out for the day, checked up on my possible job at the dining hall and they asked for my availability and so it looks promising. And after that I went to the bike co-op to see if they'd help me fix up my brakes, but they were douches and of no help at all though with very good excuses...so i was basically like fuck it and headed over to the kresge coop, and i was kickin it there grubbin, working on finishing Beyond Good and Evil amazingly good book I must say...in fact for your reading pleasure....

intense huh....and even better it's in complete synchronicity with a large number of recent ponderings...woot woot
oh i don't thin i ever mentioned that i took out my septum, simply because while it was straight on my face my nose is crooked so for it to look more straight on both at the same time it's going to have to go through cartilidge...hmmmm more to think about....
well while at the coop this bird allie stopped by and mentioned that a class I was planning on crashing was that afternoon instead of tomorrow and so I went to it and it is going to so be the shit. It's called Psych and Religion and I really can't wait to see what the class ends up being right...the reading list is Freud Jung and Hesse all good in my book and can't wait to see how he presents and intertwines it all.....he was an awesome prof at that.....then after class i went to the Bike Church downtown and fixed my bike...met up with felix, tried to see mike and maya but they weren't around and ended up kicking it with out friend tiffany and she was telling us about her masters program she's looking to get into and it sounded totally amazing and quite a lot in line with what I'm trying to do, it was Biology: Evolution of Psychology and basically looking into the gaps in technology and societies ability as whole to adapt psychologically what lead to the gaps how is it affecting us today etc. etc. etc. and I just can't believe how she can be going through biology and still be learning basically the same things as me just trying to explain it differently....i gueass it is all just different languages.
well tomorrow spanish 4 intro to human evolution and crashing classical myth...woo woo
