i guess it's nice to have college decisions over with, but it's still mildly stressful being at school surrounded by angry rejected/waitlisted seniors (especially since i'm one myself). also, i feel like i've regressed to one or two years ago, because now i have to do college visits all over again. except this time, more specifically and with a lot more significance resting on them.
i'm introducing the arillaga speaker, robert sapolsky, tomorrow, which is exciting but also making me a little nervous. i haven't practiced nearly enough and i'm afraid the introduction isn't nearly interesting enough. i thought it was ok when i first wrote it. ms. tobey thought it was ok too after making me take out the parts where i call him a baboon, but thats kind of what worries me. i think robert sapolsky is a little more out there than tobey is, so i'm kind of worried that whatever she thinks is acceptable will bore him.
oh well, too late to change anything now.
on a completely different note, if i get a bee sting twice over the course of 17 years and have no reaction, and get stung a third time and end up with a giant red, swollen arm, what can i expect for the 4th time? how do i know how bad my reaction is going to be if i get stung again?
me: ow, i got stung by a bee
someone: are you allergic?
me: i think so...
someone: are you going to go into anaphylactic shock?
me: i don't really know.
someone: should i call 911?
me: um...probably not... *collapses and dies 30 seconds later*
