its the 18th, which means...
5 more days until my brithday! Right now is when i am most excited. i love the days before my birthday. i always feel like some great surprise will occur on my birthday...usually never really happens, but i still dream of it and get excited about the prospect of it. for some reason i have never grown out of the excitement that comes before holidays. I still wake up almost every hour the night before christmas, and wake up at 6 in the morning and just wait until its late enough to wake people up. Again, you would think i would have grown out of that, but even when i was in thailand or in spain i was still super excited for christmas, and (this is sort of sad) i really thought that santa might have come during the night. its like part of you just cant give up on the magic that exists around holidays. So yeah...im feeling that "happy twitching in my stomach" feeling that i get a few days before my birthday. the thought and the joy of one day thats all for you...it makes me so happy. its your day. all yours. and an even better part is that i know no one with my birthday. if someone does know of a person with my birthday, please dont tell me. i dont like sharing.
The SIP is moving along. almost done transcribing (boo) i'll be done this weekend!!! thats my goal. Rough draft of the intro was handed into to gregg on the 12th. havent heard back yet, but thats not surprising, he didnt even print it until 14th, and it was 34 pages after all. and i feel like i still left things out. on a daily basis i think, oh crap! i should have included this or i should have included that. bah. maybe i went too in depth with some stuff. oh well, what needs to be changed im sure he'll tell me. i wrote my methods section, but its only like 3 pages long, which feels really short to me. i feel like maybe it should be longer...my papers for experimental methods were longer (in the methods section i mean) oh well..again, if it needs more/less i'm sure they will tell me. so...really all i have left, after i finish transcribing of course hehe, is to do the results and discussion section, which is going to be combined. but before i do that i ahve to analyze all of that crap. bleah. its coming together though...and i'm starting to maybe see the end...which is nice.
i move into my house (424 woodward) next friday (the 26th) im nervous about it. im not sure why. one because packing and moving stresses me out...2...well..mainly just number 1. i'm a little nervous about being off campus as well...it just means that things are changing again and we all know how i like that. for someone who doesnt liek change, i sure have to deal with it a lot.
found out about someone's plans for the upcoming year. i see the good in them, but i also see the bad. and im trying to be strong about them, but i cant think about it without getting sad/crying. its me being selfish, and i know thats what i'm doing (maybe with a little bit of being frightened thrown in too) but yeah....what will come, will come, right? and there is no point in getting worked up over it now, you never know what might change, and you never know how life will all work itsself out. thats what im telling myself at least.
so thats my life as of right now. still trying to decide what i'm doing for my birthday. thinking maybe cedar point. josh has been talking about it all summer, so we should probably go before it gets too late in the year and we miss out. so...i think maybe it will be cedar point. its been 3 years offically in michigan in a few more weeks and i cant go the entire time in michigan without cedar point, right?
ok....off to bed for me. i've been exhausted lately. i dont know why.....maybe because i'm not getting enough sleep? eheh
