i'm sitting at a table in the campus center with a really pretty assortment of cups of black tea, red tea, green tea, coffee, water, and ice cubes (perfect color gradient!) surrounding a really pretty assortment of diagrams of crazylooking bacteriophages, double helices, and mouse doodles that all look ready to spring into this caffeinated sea and enter into epic battle. it's a good thing this is fun?
tomorrow night - hugehuge bio midterm.
tuesday - lab all day. (last one! kinda sad)
and then tuesday night - rewarding myself with more piano than there are genes in the silly T4 bacteriophage chromosome. the other day someone was discussing something with cellphones and text messaging, and i made a comment about typing in the T4 language. cellphones now speak virus, bet you didn't know that. ("you mean T9?") such is my life. if you don't know what i'm talking about that's cool, neither do i.
and at some point between now and tomorrow/today i also need to decide whether i want to be an art major with bio classes (and maybe musics) squeezed in, or whether i should still major in bio. and then i have to decide specifically what those classes will be.
my reasoning is, as an art major, i'd still have room for plenty of bio, and maybe even music, while the bio major kindof takes up everything and i end up eating paint and swallowing pianos whole once a month.
but then there's med school and everything else to think about and maybe i should be learning as much science as i can because it'll make me a better scientist and as delicious as paint tends to be, screw the whole balanced diet for now.
or maybe i can do both; start out majoring in art, and then finish the science major anyway.
this week has been so much music. today was kindof ridiculous, in a good way; random famous people on campus, old men asking me directions to unknown theaters on campus to see more random famous people, gorgeous weather, purple flowers coming up on campus!, learning bio for 18 straight hours now, a fantastic jazz student trio planting themselves in front of my studyspot in the campus center, good cheese planting itself next to the jazz trio, lots of good cheese actually, and more music. really can't wait to piano tuesday night.
today has just been so bizarre somehow. kindof felt like one of those scenes in a movie, where you'll be sitting back and watching one place in fastforward over the course of hours or days, fastforwarded people coming in, crowding, fussing, leaving, clouds moving in, sun, clouds moving out, people crowding, leaving, full cup of tea, empty cup, full cup, empty, and then 2 a.m. hit, java city closed, and everything came to a stop; the campus center slowly emptying out, people walking out the doors in slow motion and falling asleep in armchairs. my head's still kindof moving though and my mp3 player just woke up from being randomly frozen earlier today. i wish coffee didn't give such stomache aches. wow i really just sat in more or less the same place all day learning bio. and it's managed to be pretty cool, i wonder how.
