LOLOL... this is too good
Ok, so I've been having a pregnancy scare... yes, I normally wouldn't announce this, but it doesn't seem like that big of a deal since I have one like, every other day... yes, I'm paranoid. So one of the "symptoms" is being really sensitive to smells. So today I'm walking around town and I'm smelling shit everywhere! And I'm thinking, "Fuck... this time it's really true... no one else is saying anything about it... why am I smelling shit? I must be extra sensitive...I must be PREGNANT!!!" Yes, I'm insane... Well, thanks LiveJournal for relieving my fear of pregnancy, for someone else on ucsc_chatter asked why it smells like shit all over the city. And that's my story of the day. Who knows though, maybe I really am. Ha...haha... But no one will probably find out about it, except for my boyfriend and my best friend.
Aaaaanyways...
On a more academic note, I've been really excited about school over the past two days. I usually get like this every time a new schedule of classes comes out. It's like academic christmas. I think I've already decided what I'm taking next quarter: Continental Philosophy, Knowledge & Rationality, and Evolutionary Thought which is super exciting because it's an econ class that will combine economics and philosophy and social philosophy and game theory and all those good things, AND finally give me a W writing credit! On top of that, I went to a really good colloquia today called The Stag Hunt which was about game theory and was presented by a guy named Brian Skyrms who is apparently a really prominent philosopher of science and economics and the only practicing (non-retired) philosopher in the United States to be admitted to the National Academy of Sciences. Pretty fucking impressive. And he was so intelligent and so clear and so nice and so non-nutty (unlike a lot of other philosophers)... Man, if only I did better in econ I could actually have a chance to go and work with him at UC Irvine, but nooo, I thought econ was "boring"...I'm feeling the opportunities quickly slipping through my fingers, while I should've been feeling them slip about 3 years ago... ok, the bitching about my lack of motivation will stop now. Speaking of lack of motivation, I'm off to study for my econometrics midterm tomorrow.
EDIT(5 minutes later): NOOOOOOOOO... why is this happening??? I'm preg... just kidding!
But this IS pretty horrifying...Econ 106 - Evolutionary Thought has disappeared from the schedule! Why???? It was there yesterday! Where did it go??? I feel so lost... I was so excited about that class...
