random issues, part 2...

- how sad. there were virtually no trick-or-treaters out tonight. not that there were a ton last year, but there were even less than usual (not that i would even know what "usual" is seeing as how this is only my second halloween in this neighborhood). i think it was probably because of the fires earlier this week. although the air quality has gotten A LOT better. oh well. dammit, now i have a ton of leftover candy. i shouldn't have been so stingy with the candy. sigh.

- i've been reading about peer groups, cliques, and crowds in my adolescence textbook and i've realized something: we did NOT follow the "average" pattern of peer group formation and clique structure in high school. sadly, i think we were lagging behind the "average" pattern, meaning we did things later and were a little slower in social development than most cliques. that's sort of a sad realization to come to. oh well. at least adolescence is over. it's just kind of sad to be reading about adolescence and trying to relate it to your own experiences and realizing that you can't because your adolescence was not a normal one.

- the schedule of classes for winter quarter went up today and all the classes i want to take have their finals on thursdays and fridays which sucks because that means i won't be able to have a longer spring break. i don't think i've ever been able to have a longer spring break. i hate winter quarter finals. the only good news is that i don't need that many more classes to graduate. technically, i only need two more classes after this quarter to get my degree and graduate but the last core psych course i want and need to take is being offered spring quarter. oh well.

- i think i've used the phrase "oh well" in every paragraph so far. i'm so passive. oh well.
