so here comes another cheap attempt at procrastination.

as usual, i should so be studying right now but i just don't want to. i've got two midterms on tuesday, back to back. and strangely enough, i am not freaking out. i'm just feeling horribly unmotivated. such a bad student...

and i've been feeling the shopping crave hitting me lately. of course, it could just be a byproduct of my feelings of extreme procrastination but i wouldn't mind having some new pretty things either. i still have a $50 gift certificate to macy's and (i desperately hope) a bit of money left from my birthday/christmas. must spend!

ooh, helen got some old pictures developed. she has a bunch from melissa's 21st birthday back in november. hahahahaha... there's a great picture of all the guys (ben, mike, matt, and jon) wearing their ninja turtle masks and taking a shot. and there are some more wonderful pictures of crazy drunk me. what is wrong with me? why is it my natural instinct to pose with my eyes tightly shut and my mouth in some insane smile when i'm drunk?? and there are some great group shots too where we all just look so... happy. ;)

let's see... what else to blog about.... the research project i'm working on is really picking up. we've been training for the past week. yesterday, they videotaped us running a few of the experiments. as expected, i got all nervous and flustered and screwed up. but really, it's just hard pretending that the twenty something lab manager sitting across from you is a little three-year-old kid. "okay, can you point to the picture of the ball? GOOD JOB!!"

i don't want to study. my methods of procrastination for today have included this blog, watching "french kiss" on tv ("SPASM!! SPASM!!"), girl talking with the roommies in sanaz's room, reading old blog entries (geez, why did no one ever tell me how mean and bitter i was?), and trying to take a picture of the tattoo on my lower back with my digital camera but failing miserably and getting a bunch of shots of my ass. i must have tried at least ten times before finally giving up. i've also totally spaced out while reading my book. it's impossible to count how many times my mind has just totally drifted.

man, i really wanna go shopping now. guess i'll just have to settle for studying instead. crap.
