Its time for another humoungously long post to catch everyone up again. Yea i know i do this but life in college is just kinda busy, and i do mean busy


So spring quarter so far has been really awesome. But even before i start mentioning about that, i spent spring break over at new york... and that was pretty tight and i do definitely miss the big city and living in one. Props to nick for showing me a good time. 
So spring quarter has begun, the flowers are starting to grow, the weather is warm (finally!) and 
basically everyone is out on the oval enjoying themselves, wearing near to nothing and engaging in their invididual tom-foolory. But i've decided to kill my leisure time by being as busy as possible.
1) I'm taking 3 courses, 2 science, 1 writing... Microbiology 581 has perhaps scared me that i couldn't imagine working in the field of science. I mean, with all the transcription factors, and rna complexes, it drives you absolutely insane and i have no idea how i'm going to keep all this up till my graduation. Philosophy 367 has been thoroughly enjoyable (thanks to our extremely dorky but funny professor) and has reconfirmed by love to the field of rationalism and i would definitely lvoe to major in it if i fail to get into exercise science (results out in a few weeks!)
But yea, academic life... not so much fun right now
2) "Work... work..... work" qouting our favorite grunt from Warcraft... I'm putting down my Office Assitant position by taking needless shifts. Its stupidity on my part for working 1-4am on two occasions, esp since i have to wake up at 8am the next day on both ocassions. Work sucks... but its pay....something that i desperately need
3) Research position, i now work under Dr. Culver and his research on limonology. Not excatly the most riveting topic to me but its somewhere that i can get started. Thus far, its been microscope work and i really have no clue about the kinds of projects that is going on and the work that i would possibly have to do. Somehow i always dread going there maybe because i feel so awkward around the current staff. I feel like a battered ram stepping into a cage on starved ram-desiring North Korean street urchins. Hopefully it will get better, but it does mean i have to dedicate around 4-6 hours of lab work a week.
4) Fraternity! Yup i got my bid so i am officially in the kappa pledge class of the beta phi chapter of the DTD fraternity! I'm so glad i got in and i hope things turn out well. So far its been great and i've had awesome parties so there is my social life basically.

So basically, i've hardly had time to just chill out and have fun (not true, i spent 2 hours playing frisbee on the oval) but you get what i mean. Its been a really eye-opening, revealing quarter so far and i'm discovering alot of things about myself that i really should have found out in high school and i'm discovering alot about people, relationships (others) and the nature of life.
