Two Birds

My head feels funny. I'm not exactly sick, and I don't even have a headache. But I feel like it's half there. My head has been feeling sluggish for most of the past few days. Come to think of it, I haven't been actually sick for years already, but I've experience this "half sick"-ness from time to time.

I didn't think this was going to be a busy week, but I stayed up late on Monday night studying for a cognitive psychology exam, Tuesday night reading articles for biology, and Wednesday night reading and summarizing a philosophy article. Right now I have to look up three faculty members who are doing research in an area I find interesting for my gateway to research seminar. Well, it's more like finding research I find interesting AND understand--that's the difficult part. I hate to say this, but I'm sick of reading scientific articles. They're just too complicated for me at this point. I've had to read way too many so far this semester. I love the world of academia, but sometimes I'm overwhelmed.

So that's on the agenda. I'm excited about working on a research project though.

Right now I have a time conflict. Y-Scholars meet EVERY Tuesday at the exact time as philosophy club. I'm torn because I don't want to choose at all, so I might have to run from one to the other. I just hope they understand.

And I got another student to tutor! So now I'm dealing with chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics. Honestly, I'm happy to be doing all these things that help others--tutoring and volunteering. Screw having a perfect GPA. It doesn't limit me from what really matters. In conclusion, the Honors Program is dumb. And I'm still a hypocrite because I'm still considering applying.

You know, listening to music is helping my head quite a bit. I think I'm ready to go research-hunting again. My album of the week is Regina Spektor's "Far." It's been on repeat for the past few days. I love every single song.

Okay, time to get back to work.
