2) Finish joint play with Bina before graduation.

Comments: Another creative endeavor. THIS WILL BE DONE BINA!!

4) Eat healthier + more fruit.

9) Exercise for 40 minutes daily at minimum.

Comments: One, to get healthier and two, to control mild bouts of rage.
10) Be calmer.

Comments: See 9.

11) Spend wisely. Less impulse buying.

That's all.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!!

I went to the dentist for the first time in four years yesterday. I came to two realizations whilst I was there.
1) I despise lying in a supine position. Mind you learned this when I went to get a pap smear, but some how it's worse with dentists.
It's a bit disconcerting lying with two people dispensing random jargon whilst poking around in your mouth with items resembling medieval torture devices. The person whose mouth is being thoroughly examined is going, "..wha? I thought I had nice/semi-decent/passable teeth!! *cries*
2) I evidently have a high pain tolerance. I evidently managed to acquire my first two cavities ever. Luckily, they were small. Unluckily(?), they had to be filled. They had an opening that day, so I decided to get in done then. They were like, "Well, you don't really need drugs since they're so small, but if you want it any time during the procedure..." So, I decided to get it done without drugs. The first few seconds were fine. Then they hit nerves and I was like, *whimper* *raise hand to request drugs*.
Doctor: We're almost done. But if you want it.
Me: ...*internal sigh* *give gesture to keep going*
Doctor goes back to happily drilling. Equating the feeling of some drilling into my mouth as "tickling". Yeah right.
Then they did it again for the second tooth. Without drugs. >_<
Luckily, mum was there since I was squeezing the life out of her hand...
...Dentists are the sadists of the medical world...

I'm going to the dentist today. I haven't seen one in three-ish years... This will be interesting.
Oh well, lots of quality knitting time since mum's appointment is right after mine.

Classes started today. I only had one, 6.207 - Networks. It seems interesting, which for a 80 minute class is somewhat important. I finally interviewed with the PhD that a friend absolutely detested working under. I found him very kind. I am now mildly conflicted over whether to work with him. It's in statistical genomics which is the area I want to pursue research in, so I told him to give me a view days to think about it. I am leaning toward that lab more than the other one...but we'll see.

My grandmother is going into surgery tomorrow to remove her tumor. It's a fairly routine procedure, yet a small part of me is still apprehensive. *sigh* Oh well, what happens... happens.

Am now going to attempt to wind down and get some sleep, so I can fast tomorrow and prep for Shakespeare.

Night.

1) I have lived in an all girls dorm for almost 3 years. I still don't understand my gender. >_< Quite frankly, I kind of detest it.
2) I hate it when I get reflective. This usually means that a mood swing is soon to follow and I really don't need that right now.
3) I should writing my peer review since it's due at 5.
4) Must burn 500 calories today. I'll use the elliptical after class.
5) My head hurts.

MSA Annual Spring Dinner went off w/o a hitch.
Some found the speaker deep, some wonder if  his speech was relevant to this MSA, some felt he marginalized the Palestinian conflict, but all came away thinking.
Which is good.
Now to write for 310C.

Non sequiter: Current weight loss plan; drop two dress sizes by Senior Ball.
I'm going home in about 12 hours. YAY!
I had my 18.703 test today. It wasn't too bad. 18.445 is another story. Prof Stroock emailed my advisor about performance. Assured advisor that I will catch up (which I will, even if it kills me) and that it's partially due to me being sick for the past 2 weeks.
I'm having my pseudo-monthly meeting with my advisor today. Normally I set up the meeting but I've been hosed beyond belief thus emailing her sank in priority. Have just found out that I aced my 310C exam, so I have good news to make up for it. ^_^
According to pet froshy, who lives in my room 5/7ths of the week, she and another froshy, who also occasionally crashes room, I am now the parton saint of freshmen hobos. [info]supersmiles is in full agreement with this title since it does not conflict with her opinion that I am sadistic. I have no idea where she got this opinion. *goes off to sharpen knives*
Evidently my favourite lit professor (which in my case is saying something) Professor Shankar Raman is back in town. He's still on sabbatical though, but he comes around to lit tea, so I may stop by.
MSA webmaster has modicum of respect for me now. Sophomores learn quickly. ^_^
We have a speaker for the MSA spring dinner, now I can have heart attack over other aspects of my life, like the exams I have this week.

I just got an email:
Hi, all,

Class is canceled tomorrow morning due to the inbound snowstorm.  I waited until Cambridge Public Schools closed, which is a good bellwether that things are expected to be very nasty in the morning.  We will cover the Giffen goods readings on Wednesday; expect a quiz!

Enjoy making some snow robots for me tomorrow.

Best,
Prof. Ryan
.....
This means no 8:30 AM CLASS TOMORROW!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOH!!!

In theory, this also means more time work on paper for 6.874...>_<

I have a splitting headache and an overwhelming urge to kill someone. Anyone actually, I'm not picky.
Or at least lightly maul.
