I was reminded today that I have been woefully remiss in keeping up with my postings of late, so here's some random commentary from the past few weeks:
- Psychological statistics is a deathly boring topic. I'm taking it at UCLA this quarter and have to keep reminding myself that this is the last prerequisite course that I need in order to start applying to PsyD programs this fall. I have my first exam tomorrow night and my brain is awash in formulas, all of which I keep mixing up. Prayer would be a good option except that I'm agnostic. Perhaps I should sacrifice a chicken?
- Fashion retailers hate the average American woman. It's the only conclusion I can arrive at after spending a chunk of this (overly warm) afternoon looking for the perfect little sundress that I can wear with flip-flops. Hell, I would have settled for a merely adequate sundress. Instead I came across a plethora of fall clothing but very little that could actually be worn now without suffering heatstroke. Another thing I've noticed about sale racks; there's often a good reason why these items never sold at full price. I tried on one dress where I seriously couldn't tell which side was the front and which was the back. I've decided that any item of clothing that requires an instruction manual should stay on the sale rack and out of my closet; I'm disoriented enough in the morning.
- Being single is seriously boring.
- My current area of internal debate (because lord knows I can't go more than a day or two without fretting over something) is regarding where I should move next. I'm more or less done with LA and am planning on moving before the end of the year; the question is where. My two top possibilities are San Francisco (or somewhere in the Bay area), and Boston. My big fear about moving back to Massachusetts, my home until age 21, is that I will regress back to my youthful self (i.e. dorky and rampantly insecure) and will end up adopting 5 more cats, gaining 50 pounds and becoming a cranky spinster. Not to mention freezing to death (LA has its faults, but the weather does kick ass). But some days I just feel like going home.
- For once in my life, I may actually have stumbled across a cool band before they become popular (so now I can be one of those annoying types who says, "Well, I liked them back BEFORE they became huge..."). The band in question is Scouting for Girls and I have a flaming crush on the lead singer, who is probably all of 20 years old. But who cares? He's British; that makes up for all kinds of flaws. I've only heard them on a local indie radio station once, but you can see them on MySpace ( http://www.myspace.com/scoutingforgirls ). Watch their video for "It's Not About You"; that's my favorite song so far. And no drooling over Roy, he's mine.
- Only 6 days left until Harry Potter book 7! Thank god it comes out after this test, otherwise I'd be completely doomed.
- Have I mentioned how godawful boring statistics is? It bears repeating.
