(no subject)
I am feeling demoralized. And sick. And pathetic. And a whole host of other things. My problem is, all of my issues can be resolved if I just get up and do everything I need to do. But I'm a shitty person.
Things:
1. I met with my "preceptor" for my summer internship at Duke. I'll be working at the Center for Child and Family Policy or something like that. I'll be involved in the area of adolescent drug abuse prevention. I also get to work occasionally with the man who wrote my favorite book (Buzzed) and another man who will introduce me to some clinical treatments of addiction. I can't wait. I get a desk/office!
2. So, upon a tiny bit of reading, I discovered that minus a course here or there I'm basically setting myself up for a Biology major, so I've just decided to take the extra six or so hours I'd be missing and have a double Psychology/Biology major. Because I'm so typical it hurts.
3. I wish I were at a school with a neuroscience major so this wouldn't even be an issue.
4. I wonder if I'd be into the same shit if I were at a different school/
5. Raney, have you gotten your mail?
6. I'm on a diet, and it's working well.
7. I'm sort of sickening myself, because every opportunity I find I think, "I wonder if this will look impressive later on." Regardless of why I wanted to do it in the first place.
8. That's why I hate pre-meds. Pre anything.
9. But yes, I have a ton of work and I can't bring myself to do ANY of it. I just want to go home and sleep for like a week. I miss HBO.
10. I think I'd be a happier person if I always had the freedom to walk around in my underwear.
11. My greatest fear is that I'm too stupid to ever understand the stuff I'm so fascinated by.
12. I can't end on number 11, that's ridiculous.
Boys lie, you guys. I know, right?
