Right, so I'm actually making a (brief) entry, because I feel guilty about posting a whole bunch of quizzes.
Why I feel guilty, I don't know.
And I don't have much to say, anyway. I'm still not getting enough sleep--I think I keep forgetting to go to bed. Somehow I always wake up in the morning feeling dead. I think getting up at 7 am every day for the last four months has finally caught up with me--I've started drinking absurd amounts of coffee every morning. I mean, it used to be that a small cup of coffee would get me through the day. Now I drink a medium cup of coffee and start to lag in the afternoon. Grah. More sleep is necessary, I say! More sleep! Maybe I should picket. I could make signs and shout and it would be lots of fun.
Lack of sleep is making me silly.
I reviewed cell cultures today. It was difficult to remember (since I haven't done it in five or six weeks), but I did okay. Cell cultures are definitely one of the coolest things I've learned since coming to college.
In the middle of a conversation about candles, Clark informed me that vanilla is supposedly the most arousing scent. I'm not entirely sure I believe that. I do like vanilla. But I don't think it arouses me. I think it makes me calm. Those are two completely different feelings.
Anyway. Now that I'm thinking about candles, I have the urge to light some. I like the way they look when all the other lights in the room are off, and they cast colored shadows on the wall through their little holders.... I have this little votive "lamps" that have "lampshades" made out of colored glass, and when the candles inside are lit, the wall turns blue and purple and green and it's really pretty. Like a sunset. They go well with the color of my wall, too.
I don't remember what the point of this entry was. I'm not sure it had one. I could make one up....
Oh!! I found out today that I get to go to Texas in two weeks for my cousin Christi's wedding. I'm so happy! If I'd missed it, that would make five weddings I'd miss this year. Lalani's, Joseph's, Megan's, Autumn's, and Christi's. (Lalani, Joseph, and Christi are cousins on my mom's side, all 20 years old (or close enough--I don't know exact birthdays); Autumn is a 20-something cousin on Phil's side, and Megan is a really close friend of mine, for those of you who wondered.) Anyway, Mom and Phil are graciously paying for me to go to Texas (they're not going) for the weekend, so I'll get to see family (I LOVE MY FAMILY!!) and get a break from school for a couple of days. And I won't miss every single wedding this year! Yay! I've been in a sort of isolation here in Santa Cruz since I started college, and while I love school, I think I love my family more. I miss them. My family is really cool.
Grah, anyway. About forgetting to sleep... I should go sleep right now. Stupid morning classes. Who planned this schedule??? Oh, me. *sheepish look* Right. Off with me, then. Or off with my head.
It's late. I apologise for the silliness in this entry--as I mentioned, the sleep deprivation has really gotten to me.
...*forces self to stop rambling* G'night.
(The silliness can also be blamed on lack of caffeine in the blood stream.)
