life right now
I have a test on Monday. And the shock of all shocks.. it's not a take-home. Which is actually fine with me because I'd rather have it done in 2 hours, rather than taking a whole weekend. Although I guess I'll use this whole weekend to study for it. That's beside the point. Anyway, things are going alright. I think my next lab experience is going to be working with brain cancer. Funny because I really don't like neuroscience. My parents don't know that yet, but well... I don't think I'll ever tell them.
Speaking of my parents, my mom called today and asked when I have vacation. This wouldn't be noteworthy if it weren't for the fact that I've repeatedly told her that I don't know when I'll have vacation, that I have to work it out with my mentor, and that I won't know who my mentor will be until the end of April. Pretty much since I decided to come to Vanderbilt, that has been the question that she just can't seem to keep from asking... and the answer is always the same... and it will continue to be the same until the end of April. For some reason she just can't seem to wrap her mind around the idea that I no longer have actual vacations and follow a normal school calendar.
I'm finally getting new contacts tomorrow. I sort of haven't been to the eye doctor since I was at Centre, and have really used the same pair of contacts oh since... *coughs*December*coughs* but I haven't used them every day. And I rinse them very well. Anyway, I'm tired of wearing my glasses all the time, and I think they're starting to give me a headache... either that or I've had a weird head thing going on the past couple of days. Which is entirely likely... ironic that my parents are neurologists, I don't like neuroscience, and I get migraines. But such is life.
I haven't really got anything else to babble on about. Nothing entertaining or exciting at least. Yep, definitely drawing a blank... I used to have entertaining stories... maybe it's because I don't live with anyone. Someone should come visit me so that I have something interesting to put in my LJ. Oh... well I did join Centre's BSU a couple of weekends ago. Lyle propositioned me. That's not the reason I joined Centre's BSU... Did I already mention this? I can't remember. Well anyway, I went shopping and spent the night out at the park with them guys and gals instead of doing my cancer take-home test. I mean... the test I had over cancer biology... not like some new-fangled test yourself for cancer kinda deal. That'd be kinda weird. And probably not at all safe. I should get to studying. Or to sleeping... either way, not in front of the computer.
