OMG....has two weeks passed already??? If time is relative, I believe my last few weeks greatly resembles my second cousin ....FAST and easy. ;} School is a cake walk thus far. Don't know why I haven't done it sooner. I also realize that I am SO OVER psychology courses. They (who?) say we choose our work/studies based on things we wish to fix within ourselves. (Sounds like something a psych. major would think up!) I guess I have figured out that the world is just a tad off (me included) and that's all OK. Who really needs to assign labels and reasons for why we do questionable things in life? How's about we all just admit there are going to be good days(or years) and bad and laugh about it all? Geesh!

Anywho, I found out I will for sure graduate in May. Granted my Psych. BA isn't exactly what the vet schools are looking for as far as pre-req's but little do they know, I am doing "The Secret" voo-doo until the day I graduate and when they recieve my application they will have no idea why but they will be tickled pink.....begging me even..... so much so that they will ALSO pay my way (hey!...doesn't hurt to "ask" for everything we want huh?)..... to come and study with their university. Ha! Who said getting into vet school is hard???

Speaking of mind voodoo....I've been focusing on Grey's Anatomy being released ahead of time this season. So far it's not working. I guess it's because I am too attached to the result? Dang I miss it though! I did this "I'm going to be all studious and responsible" thing and had my cable turned off since I was going to be "SO busy studying" instead. Well that lasted all of, um....two days before I realized I must have been having one of those above "off" moments. I think my psych. prof. calls it "delusional"? Bless all those people who have the will power to go without the "brain washing box" but I, well I find an occasional TV zone-out to be quite enjoyable. I think they call it "cathartic". Boy, I am SO going to ace my first exam. :)


Speaking of exams, I have the coolest anthropology professor. He prefers us to call him "George" to his more formal, as he calls it, "stuffy" name. George is in his late 70's and still an avid rock climber....or at least he will be again when his torn meniscus heals from the damage he incurred while running with his dog recently. (Did I mention he is almost 80?) George was born in Chile and tells the most amazing stories of hiking in the Himalayas, going on expeditions in Mayan ruins with his Grandmother (it was not culturally acceptable for a woman back then but she went anyways), growing "medicinals" in the 60-70's and finding unique ways to utilize their crop (like the Marijuana cake they made for "rush week" at Cornell).....all the while tying in the anthropology lessons.

It's easy to learn from real life experience....especially one that has been so interesting. He says on a difficulty scale of 1-10, his class is a 3.....that he'd rather have us walk away with real life knowledge and understanding of others culture than a bunch of facts and definitions that we'll never recall again. Seriously? Maybe I need to have him make some of those "medicinal cakes" for some of my other professors so they can lighten up and smell the reality.

So that's it for now. Two weeks down. Thirteen to go. Off to bury my nose in the books.
