From the insomniac at heart

I really don't understand it. I've been so tired today (and definitely lacking in the sleep department owing to biochem problem set and manic Monday) yet I STILL CAN'T SLEEP! Argh. Took some of those "Simply Sleep" pills. I'm not sure if they actually help though, because I end up just staying up and not trying to sleep for a length of time until finally collapsing into the land of nod...

Helped Justin with his college essay today :) Pretty funny and not half bad! Go bro! He's not a Cardinal fan though, which makes me sad :(

Stunningly insightful conclusions:
1. Stanford kids are involved in EVERYTHING and do so AMAZINGLY
(epiphany reached by going to the community fall forum @ Arrillaga today. I was presenting some info on the health education talks/classes we put on at PFC this year. Lynne did a fantastic job getting us involved with the Diabetes health class and Promotores at Community Health Partnership. Man, Kudos with a Kaptial K. I staffed a couple of times and people were really enthusiastic and they got some great conversations on nutrition, exercise, how to manage medication, etc. Really fits with the overall goals of PFC too)
2. My mice are okei but there are faaaaar too many of them! Definitely saving some simply for the microarray study. It's a hassle with the BP machine as it is...I shudder to think of the horrors I'll face with the darn MRI. Alas, the pains of research.
3. Swing is FUN. To be further explained later
4. Intro to Clinical Psych is so boring it makes you want to tear your eyeballs out and stick them into your ears just for entertainment purposes. The reading is even worse. Ugh. Still, a psych minor's gotta do what a psych minor's gotta do (namely, take required classes).
5. I got nothin. Just didn't want to leave it at 4 because I like 5 better.

No, I take it back...
5 (fo real). Need to cut a class and was having some trouble letting it go, but go it must! Just going to audit. It'll be just as good, plus no stress! Darn you, other crazy premeds!!!!!

Back to Swing is Fun.

It is.

Tried out for Swingtime. So did some friends of mine. We took Living Traditions of Swing in the winter (AWEEEEESOME class! One of the best I've taken at Stanford). Swingtime is so great. Sigh. I could laud them for a while, but that would be sort of...sad. On my part. Hope I get called back. Lots of rearranging of the schedule to do then though. Hm. I think it's worth it. When else would we get to do something like this??? (Er, actually, hopefully next year, if I'm still on campus for work/research).

We shall see.
