Bye bye.

People are just plain mean. Especially when they think they know me in the slightest—at least have the balls to say who you are and stop hiding behind internet anonymity. You don’t know the first thing about me, I’m pretty certain. Come clean and tell me who you are so I can get you out of my life. I’m sure it won’t make any difference to me whatsoever.

On Monday I’ll answer that question:

• Got really far on The King of the Golden River and was excused early from work. Thank you Tampa hurricane weather for paying San Jose a visit!
• My work shirt is awesome. And I don’t care if its dorky that I’m in love with it…I mean, it’s PURPLE and a women’s cut so its fitted. AND I asked for a medium and its not even close to being snug in the least bit. I feel great.
• ALL DAY MOVIE WATCHING. 5 of the 10 Oscar nominees for Best Picture. Next Saturday I’ll be watching the last 5.
• Little amounts of homework, so I’ll be using the extra time I have now to get ahead so I feel more in control of this whole ridiculous semester.

I’m feeling pretty darn good.

P.S. My title may be incorrect. It’s been 5 years since I took Spanish…6 since I did that exercise in particular. Haha

I’m making a conscious effort to live my life focused on the present. I too easily get wrapped up in the future for everything I do and forget that life is happening while I’m making plans that may never come to pass. Certainly it is important to have some sort of thoughts about the future, but because I love To Do lists, I end up making them for the entire semester, then the entire year…and it quickly spirals out of what used to be a healthy balance of past, present, and future.

And so, my new philosophy of life MUST be centered around the present. I need to find that balance again because I’m exhausted from always thinking “what if” for situations that haven’t even entered my life. Because really, its becoming too much and I all I want to do is slow down, and maybe sleep for awhile. I want to be happy with where I am RIGHT NOW rather than just happy with the idea of where I’m going.

I really hope this works out well; meanwhile, I’ll enjoy eating anything and everything. Well, unless I hate it. Time for homework.

just came flooding back…release? I wish. Still crap.

It’s only been a month since the semester started and I’m already quite stressed. I just ran some data for a project I’m doing in a class…nothing was statistically significant. Does anyone else know how that feels? I feel a little defeated. Other than that, I just have so much homework to do all the time, with so little time to actually get it done. This weekend I MUST MUST MUST be overly-productive, to the point where I’ll be bored for the next five weeks or so.

In a year I’ll be moving away, and that will be so nice and incredibly welcome. Why can I never be happy in one place for very long?! Ugh.

Ask me anything http://formspring.me/lydiamydia

is already getting to me.

I really love the brain. I’ve always wanted to have the ability to dissect my own brain. Don’t judge me. It’s fascinating.

If I could be any part of the brain, structure, region, cell, or neurotransmitter, I would be the caudate nucleus. Or orbitofrontal cortex.

Yeah.
