it’s come down to two days before classes start. i’ve made a fairly major step in welcoming the new semester: i’ve registered for classes. next semester i will be taking “recent advances in computational biology”, “stochastic processes and applications”, and a math bio seminar. i also plan on forgoing the research thing until i scope out potential research opportunities in the bio department.
of course, what i really mean by “forgoing the researching thing” is that i have no idea where i want to be in my life at the moment and i don’t want to get stuck into a project i’m going to abandon in a year. getting a job is fairly tempting. more tempting than a job is the simple idea of taking a break from school.
in preparation for the coming school year and all of its trials and tribulations, i’ve decided to have as much fun as possible in these waning days of freedom. last friday was the math reception where i met some new ticam students who are a welcome change from the usual crew i’ve been working with on 3 ACES. i had them over for a bbq on my porch with sheri and ginger. it was a food bonanza, and a ton of fun — grilled sliced sweet potato: to die for. the six of us took my full tummy to alan and mike’s postlim party. one again, i rocked dj. and once again, i stayed up way past my bedtime. i counted 4 “haven’t i seen you somewhere before?” type comments. i swear to god i have a doppleganger. strangely enough, one person was apparently not full of shit — i actually ran into him the next day near the parlor. i have to be careful about telling people “we’ll meet again”: sometimes it apparently comes true. it was a good party, even though i failed to get drunk, even after a desparate 4am attempt — p.s., skyy vodka & lime juice makes a great shot!
someday i’ll grow up.
saturday was eventless: recovery from sleep depravation, food, sex and the city.
i had a great sunday. tim finally bought a tv stand and i helped him put it together. we went to central market where i scored some schneider honey mustard pretzel bits — they are freakin awesome. since we were in the neighborhood, we stopped by the draughthouse for beers. get this: schneider weiss was $1.75! what a surprising treat.
following the draughthouse was a display of severe lack of self control. we barbequed about everything in site and ate it all while we watched bottle rocket. i don’t really remember much beyond that because my brain was too busy sending digestion signals to my stomach instead of my conscious self.
anyway, tomorrow at noon i have an appointment with a hypnoshrink. hopefully soon after i will be a non-smoker. stay tuned.
