Day off? Sleep.

Aaand my last post was definitely about how I should take ants as my role models, because they are hard workers. It has been a stressful week...

But it's the weekend! And a three-day weekend at that! I got Friday off, and spent the day doing NOTHING. Well, that is deceitful - in actuality, I washed a lot of dishes (by a lot, I mean one half sink full, which is considerably less than my mother washes every other day..... but SHH, I washed dishes and it doesn't matter how many, it still earns me goody points!); I went down to the Caltech gym and pitifully used machines set at about 20 to 30 pounds... and I rewatched So I Married an Axe Murderer, with Mike Myers. Great movie.

So my day was endlessly constructive. I still have an essay to write for Monday.... but all of Saturday and Sunday to do it (that's the kind of thinking that's gonna get me through college)! I'm foolishly awaiting a phone call that I know won't come, from a dashing someone I met the other day. But I'm checking my phone significantly less obsessively than in the past, because there's just so much going on with school and my life that allows me no time to concern myself with other matters. So, he calls, he doesn't call... oh well. I got up the nerve to go and talk to him, contrary to my inherent shyness, which is definitely valuable in itself whether or not anything comes of it. It gives me hope that I won't be a loner in college! Which, by the way, I am looking forward to ridiculously right now. It's because senior year is stressful, and my mind wants me to be elsewhere... Scotland being an excellent alternative.

Scotland! I'm so excited. I worry at times that I'm putting too much importance on location, though - at the moment I am facing a dilemma, which is this: I am interested in chemistry and in the Classics, which are in two separate Faculties at St Andrews.... and it is very difficult to switch Faculties. At the moment I'm in the Faculty of Science, and if I decide that I want to pursue the Classics I'm going to have to switch to the Faculty of Arts, which I should do soon (the sooner the better!). I am reluctant to make such a huge decision so early on, which makes me worry whether St Andrews is right for me, a generally indecisive person. However, nothing could effectively deter me from going short of the earth opening up and swallowing the school - so, something I need to think about over the next few months, definitely. For I do love ancient Greek!
