soundtrak: depeche mode: enjoy the silence
the monday list:
- umbc on friday was a trip. the ceremony was hilarious. having my lecture for the day recorded, i cooked dinner in the morning before i left (the best chapati i ever made... melts in your mouth, not in your hand..). when i was parking, i ran into wbz. i haven't seen that dude since al's graduation, when he graduated. whoa buddy. met up with nic and walked around the building before the dedication, trying not be bitter with what we didn't get. nic went through her old lab after the ceremony, then instead of going to the reception, we bad-mouthed our old university in the commons. i mean, truthfully, umbc is a good college, a great place for science and technology and i don't regret getting my training from there. but man, how many times have we've been screwed over. like i always say, guaranteed to be screwed over at least twice. i would get into our two hour conversation about how we were screwed over (even more than what i've posted here), but i have to get over it sometime. what we're most worried about is the boy, who it seems painfully resigned to a master's degree after having a horrible time with his PhD program. he was shafted. we also talked about M, who basically lied about getting in grad school (and gave me an unnecessary attack). i mean, i don't know why you would lie about something like that... ehh. it's past.
- mom went out of town the middle of last week, leaving me in charge to cook and look after dad and timon, who would starve first than set foot in a kitchen, i spent most of the time praying that mom would make it back safe so i wouldn't have to do this full time. and then timon, who's going through his typical teenage moodiness, was just driving me crazy this whole weekend. but i can't really complain; i used to be just as moody.
- this song. well, since they have a new album out and everything, this song just got stuck in my head again.
- happy birthday al. we're growing old man. i must know at least 20 people with birthdays in october and it was bothering me so much that i had to calculate back to the month of inception for these people. if my calculations are right (and they rarely are; you guys know i'm bad at math...), it is the month of february. oh, how sickingly cute. with valentine's day and all.
- so i emailed some investigators last week and all of them have emailed me back interested. i'm excited because instead of just one lab, i have a choice of multiple labs. setting up visits and interviews for the next two weeks. yay!
- i've been in pain for the past week or so. my disability flaring up again. i'm not really sure why, but it's starting to affect the things that i normally do, which in my entire life, it has never done.
- the high school crew went out again this weekend. i have resigned that i will not go out with B and Y anymore, especially with her around. anyways, my weekends are usually jam packed months in advance with all the activities and meetings that i have to do or plan or attend as a youth leader and church webmaster. sometimes when i do go, i really wish that i hadn't. i know Y is especially disappointed since he's the one always calling me to attend these things. ehh.
- had an interesting conversation with B last night. not so much about what we were talking about (music and books), but i suppose the kind of conversation it was. calm, quiet even (i don't know if you could call an IM conversation that). usually when we converse, he's always harassing me, annoying me. we're always yelling at each other. i guess he was just calmer last night and i made sure my responses wouldn't insight smart ass remarks (from him, of course). this is the kind of B i like talking to, relating with. he also didn't go out this weekend. he just didn't feel like going.
calm week this week. no biostats homework due because of others midterms. trying not to chill too hard.
peace.
