Mail :)
Happy happy things! I have mail from Brown. My course listings no less, which is brilliant since I've been looking at the 2002-2003 listings and they're just a teeeny weeeny bit different. But yes, I have to pick a CAP course, which is a course that will be taught by my advisor. So apparently I'm supposed to pick something that I think my advisor and I will have in common. On one hand this is brilliant because I feel like I actually will have a shot at getting a real relationship with my advisor (tho--must remember, not all teachers are Fazs or Westhoffs. oh hell, let me be an optimist for once!)
But yes, problem is I have no idea what to choose. They all sound so interesting. And I've highlighted everything from "Culture and Human Behavior" (Anthro) to "Digital Aesthetics" (which for some reason is in the German department ???) to "Vertebrate Embryology" and "Shakespeare's Present Tense" (which is about modern art based on Shakespeare like Shakespeare in Love, 10 Things I Hate About You, and O. Anyway, I'm totally screwed because I don't know what to pick!
And this is even interesting enough to trump Orson Scott Card! shock horror!
In other news... playing therapist, although not so much, fortunately. I love everyone dearly but for people who can't be bothered to call to ask me to go out on a Friday night, it doesn't seem quite fair that I'm their shrink always on call. That wasn't fair, I like helping people, I really do. And I'd rather they talked to me about anything than just ignored me. But sometimes I really wish I could just have a day where no one wanted anything from me! Where my mum didn't need me to carry things and no one needs help with homework or exams, and no one needs to bitch about me about the little things that went wrong in their lives.
Wow... bitch central. but anyone who reads this:
1) don't be 'fended
2) CALL ME and we'll do something not homework/stress/parent/carrying related!!
3) smile, and realize that you love me cause I'm just that fabulous
4) accept that (even if i'm not that fabulous) you do still love me. even if just a bit.
5) realize that if you love me you should definitely call me to do something
6) forgive me for this very annoying list
7) realize that this list is actually annoying me now
8) forgive me for not stopping this list even though we're both annoyed by it
9) smile!!!!
