Higher than the Stars

Song of the post: Higher than the Stars by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

What a great song.

Wow, what a day. I woke up feeling not too well. Like I said before, I hardly ever get sick anymore, but sometimes my head would feel funny. Somehow I became a little crazy today in BIOL 2002, haha, but my team members are awesome.

I had concept lab from 10:40-12:35 (except we had a lot of free time today, so we just chatted for about half an hour--I was having dumb arguments with Udi, who probably think I have issues/OCD/ADHD and is overall crazy now, haha.)

Then I had lab from 12:50 to 3:50, but it actually went until 4:30. Ugh. I can't believe I was in that building for six hours. Of course it wasn't better when I came out because it was raining and it was cold. I quickly grabbed a Subway and then headed over to the East Bank to tutor chemistry. Then I had a large cup of iced mocha from Starbucks before coming home because I know I'll need it. I have a report to write and an over 20-page paper to read (plus answer questions) for philosophy, and I have to study for biochem, which is giving me a hard time right now.

Tomorrow will be full of studying (for biochem), and Friday will consist of running around a lot (biochem exam -> tutor ochem -> tour of a research lab -> class -> meet with cool people to study for our philosophy midterm). Saturday will be tiring because of the fall clean-up with the U-YMCA, and hopefully the weather will be nice for that. Sunday has been following the same routine of reading for biology and tutoring physics.

I'd like to write more, but I have a lot to get done, and I should do that before the caffeine wears out, haha.

Honestly, caffeine and sugar doesn't compare to reading awesome philosophy. Reading even just a few pages from Thomas Nagel's The View From Nowhere has been getting me all excited and motivated to study. I don't know... one of the reason why I wanted to study neuroscience is because I thought it could explain so much. It's being exposed to Nagel's philosophy that changed my view on how much science can tell ever tell us, and it doesn't bother me at all.

But... I really should get busy right now, so I'll expand on this at another time.
