(no subject)
I am thinking that life is going pretty well right now.
I was really excited about my math book (mostly because of the title, but I have to return "excursions in modern math" because I dropped my math class. It was driving me crazy- it was stuff i have already learned (like way back in 10th grade) and i got frustrated if other people didn't understand it and i didn't want to be that asshole who is always rolling their eyes in class because that is obnoxious and i am obnoxious enough already. But now I am excited because I am going to be working in a lab (and getting 3 hours of credit) at the frank porter graham child development institute on a project that deals with the speech of children with down's syndrome and fragile x and comparing that to the speech development of typically developing children. its mostly grunt work, but it'll get my foot in the door over there and get me good references and experience if i decide that i want to go to grad school.
I am also psyched because I think I'm going to play underwater hockey this year. It is a ridiculous sport and not very many people know about it (I didn't until I got here) but it looks like a lot of fun. I can't describe it very well (especailly because i haven't started playing yet), but you can google it and i'm sure learn all about it. Also, I have an audition tonight for tarheel voices, which is one of the acapella groups here on campus. I don't know how that'll go, but I figure I'll just keep trying out for singing groups for which i'm eligable until i get into one or run out of groups. So yay for that and yay for life in general right now. Now its time to get studious.
