listening to:
tuesday passed. with it march 8th, international women’s day which apparently had roots in u.s. who knew?
my mom said its mothers day. its not! its women’s day in russia. i still cleaned the house a bit.
i think the principle of “do nothing for a long time and small stuff will be significant” is mean but correct. as guilty as i feel for not helping out around the house, i can spend like 30 minutes tidying up and my mom is happy. its not really fair… but it worked for this day.
today the interesting dillema of where to sit in a crowded lounge occured. do you share a table with other random people? do you haunt around comfy chairs waiting for someone to move? do you simply pick another building?
no!
you find a nook between two walls where you can curl up, and spend 1.5 hours surfing wirelessly. how unproductively fun.
i realized today that you know how people always recoommend to take brain developing other materials in college. you know, if you’re in math do some humanities, etc. they are completely right. and today i became convinced that a great thing for most people to take is cognitive science. i honestly cannot claim how great it will be for your educational career, but the amount of brain stretching that goes on is awesome. you think about thinking, how emotions affect rationality (NEAT stuff), about how to build robots out of lego, how to deal with stress (on a very applicable literal level). fun! good lecture today.
also, i’m addicted to chai latte’s from 2nd cup. like, seriously. its a problem. i need help. otherwise i’ll go broke buying them.
also.
i got a job.
woo!
question of the day: how do you help out around the house, given you live with parents, as i believe majority of my readership are?
