i don't know who has better facebook updates, stank or brandon sam

my brother is moving home today. RIP bayou shadows 262 -- "you've seen some crazy shit"

unrelated -- my personal day from hell is over (chemistry test, research test, and biology test all in one day? are you kidding me?) i also just learned that we don't have sex class tomorrow, just an assignment on blackboard. you know what the assignment is? "watch these south park videos."

happy thanksgiving!

i've been at UNO for a year and a half now, and i can honestly say that i love it here. i love the strange collection of students. i love how small it is. i love the complete apathy for sports and recreation.

at ULL you either saw scene kids or dude brahs. at UNO you see everything? during my first semester, my BFF in biodiversity was a 60-year-old woman named jane from slidell. in form and function this year, i'm surrounded by indian girls. i chill with the black girls in research class, and my buddy in there is a pothead of serbian descent (misha). you get the idea.

i love being next to the lake. i love that our school is research-based and that we "kinda have a football team but not really". i never have an issue scheduling a class, and i never have to walk up more than 3 flights of stairs. i always run into someone i know. and, most importantly, i love that driving home means seeing my mom everyday. (MAMA'S GURL)

the strangest thing is that i had a full scholarship to UNO in 2005, and i didn't take it. if i would've taken it, i'd probably have my bachelor's degree by now. no regrets, though, because i needed to move away and "find my path". psychology is what i should've majored in all along, but i was intimidated by science probably. when you're an english major and you don't read anything of substance anymore/don't feel like writing anymore, it's time to reassess your goals and interests.

i've never done this well in school and actually LIKED SCHOOL. i drive 2 hours a day to go to and from UNO. in lafayette i never went to school and i lived 5 minutes away. i'm perfectly content staying home this weekend, waking up at 9:00am on a saturday to study the immune system and valence shell electron pair repulsion. school rules, it's what i'm good at, i can't cut hair or play music, etc.

so, UNO rules. and i'm happy and proud of myself for how far i've come.

so, sammy sosa is white now. MY WORLD HAS FLIPPED UPSIDE-DOWN.

evidence that my anti-anxiety medicine is working:

1) the clothes in my closet aren't organized by season and sleeve-length anymore, and i'm completely okay with it.

2) UNO fucked up and took back $120 of my loan money. no worries.

3) UNO says i need to get another tetanus shot. (whatever)

4) got into a car accident the other day. completely not my fault, don't even care.

5) i have 4 tests next week and should be drowning in work, but somehow i'm still afloat while still slightly optimistic?

i'm still making lists, but i'm not checking them as compulsively
i'm no longer making flashcards for everything

1) be a care bear. but instead of a sun or happy things on my belly, i'd have a picture of my face. be a MERE BEAR.

2) juggalo/juggalette. ICP FAN. actually, i'm totally going to do this.

inspiration for 2) :



i watched this three times today. that's 45 minutes of ICP research.
