Ok so writing in here is just never going to be a regular thing. Obviously I'm not good at forming new habits. And at least from the evidence of yesterday and today, what I'm really good at is lots of tv-watching and reading and not doing too much useful stuff. Well, yesterday I did actually get a lot done, including my first animal learning lab. Everyone in the lab gets a rat to take care of and do experiments with, and my rat is number 2 so I'm just calling him Number Two like he's the character from Austin Powers. I think it's clever but I'm probably the only one. Whatever, we're not supposed to name them because "they're not pets, they're research animals". Anyway, I like it better than I expected already. We have to go in every day (except for the weekends) to feed, weigh, and play with our rats, and run any other experiment trials we have to catch up on. I thought it would be really annoying but I'm kinda looking forward to seeing my rat tomorrow, even though I signed up to go in at 8:30. I'm hoping it'll force me to be productive the rest of the day, much unlike my habits today. I didn't do any homework and I only wrote a little bit of my personal statement for my application to study abroad. The good thing is that I have no class tomorrow and it's a 3-day weekend, so if I actually make myself work after my day of rest today I should be able to get something done.

Next week I start working with autistic kids at a super nice elementary school in Montecito where apparently the kids can take yoga and Spanish. Craziness, but it'll be fun to see what it looks like. I go during the two recess times from 11-1 and play with two different kids. I'm pretty nervous cause I'm not the best with kids and also because I have no idea what kinds of recess games kids like now. I obviously can't count on the kids being super outgoing so.. we'll see. I guess no one expects me to be good right away.

I wish I had been more productive today. I feel kinda depressed about it now. That's the crappy thing about lazing around, it's so nice to feel accomplished and all I accomplished was finishing a book I read for fun. It was a good book at least. And now I'm going to accomplish going to bed before midnight, so goodnight.
