1. I'm starting a hit list of students who do not show up for the experiments that they've signed up for [In other words, sweet revenge on those who've wasted my time. On all counts and under all circumstances, the experimenter has better things to do than sit around and wait on your ass to show up]
2. Have been dreaming warm fuzzy dreams about people I've previously firmly decided to leave behind [Ian, my game of chess is crumbling all over the table. Come back from Scotland, I'm going into late-night chat therapy withdrawal]
3. School starting in three weeks, RA training in one: I am officially going into total work avoidant denial. [All future references to impending busy schedule will receive below mentioned response: "Work? What work?", in addition to very effective eye roll of indignation]
4. Repercussions of above-mentioned state of denial will prove an increasing challenge in final weeks of summer term. An Italian final exam and a developmental psychology final paper [due on Tuesday! gulp indeed] need some seeing to, but brain is refusing to function for anything more than basic animal necessities --namely, eat, sleep, visit the bathroom, and oh wait, yes, shopping]
5. My relatively affordable plane ticket home is eluding me so. Too many connections [Vancouver to Washington to Chicago to Tokyo to Singapore: 5 way connections --ooh, shudder], too expensive [prices ranging between $2500 to $3200: My mother reminds me that this is a $150/day holiday she is funding], too full [all already booked in July?!]. Air travel is living up to its splendidly horrid reputation, not to mention the greasy hair, being packed like sardines with legs, cold food and what not.
6. Scheduled to play in a human rights concert in September. Auditions had me realizing that my guitar desperately needs new strings, but I'm much too lazy [almost typical, isn't it?]. Am currently in the process of deciding what exactly to play [given that I don't own a human rights repertoire, the world's going to have to deal with tragic love songs for now], suggestions are very welcome.
7. I've been listening to this
geek in the pink religiously for days now. I think his new-found softness is growing on me, but then again, good friends will attest that I've always been quite the mr.a-z groupie. Everyone together now, "illegitimate babies!".
The whiniest morning person here needs to sleep now if intention to wake up at 9am [without grouchy tantrums and the throwing of alarm clocks halfway across the room] is going to realize itself. Taste of the Danforth tomorrow. Whoopdeedoo (:
