This picture isn’t related in any way shape or form to what im going to ramble out, but the story that its from is all kinds of awesome.
I go to work to de-stress. That’s just not normal. The Larry Moran talk was hugely stressful - most of it fell onto Ang, for which I feel bad, but it’s getting pretty frustrating for all of us when it comes down to the day before an event and nothing is worked out and our posterer decides to skip town for a random interview.
So it was a relief to walk into work where the most stressful thing I had to deal with was deciding if a pant wall should remain a pant wall or get converted into a wall for the green and browns….and making our target for the night. (We left the wall and made target…)
I decided not to do anything today that pertained to any sort of project that is on the go…(except reminding the Good News Bears to register us a domain and sending out a couple e-mails to the skeptics executive…) and it turned into a pretty relaxing day. It was sort of weird to be lying around doing nothing, but I soaked it up.
At this point I just can’t stop thinking about September, I’m really excited to go full time at school again and get all this degree shit behind me so I can start doing interesting stuff. I was sort of wishy washy on what to do next year (just work, go to India, go to school…) but then I was talking to a hair dresser and amidst her mindless rambling she said something (i dont know what, honestly) that sort of made me think “wow…she’s right…” …It was something about there never being enough money - but since when didn’t students have loans and why does that need to put your life on hold and blah blah blah - I figured if she could just accept that, then surely I can too.
So… that was it, next year is full fledged school time - yet again. I’ll have a geography degree… but I want a biology degree. However I was talking to my favorite prof from first year and he made it very clear to me that starting over and wasting money on more undergraduate would be a really stupid idea - and instead I should work REALLY hard at getting phenomenal grades and doing biology shit “on the side” so I can do my masters in bio. That works.
