Change of Plans

It turns out I probably won't be driving up to Portland with Julie and KC but instead with Alex. So, not the initial plan but still a good choice. The ex-boy will be going to OSU this fall (and will consequently be very close all the time). I don't know when we plan to leave, but I need to be there by August 28th at the latest for babysitting.

DC was hella fun. I didn't realize that there was so much to do in such a small area. Also, my friends are wonderful hosts. (Thank you!)

As much as I am enjoying this internship, I am ready to be done with Pittsburgh. I would like some beautiful West coast weather for a change. Ava, g-ma and the parents are visiting in turns from August 7-10th to celebrate my birthday and then I only have a few days left before I fly back to LA. I'm definitely ready for some relaxation.

This is not even funny

I woke up at dawn to the sound of a jackhammer right outside my window. And now it is 9:00 and I need to get ready for work with almost no sleep. I want to strangle a bitch.

Things I am excited for:

The Mattress Factory- a largerthanlife contemporary art museum I'm going to tomorrow with some of the other interns
My Black/White joint birthday party at PIKA with two of the other interns
Working more closely with the grad students and professors once most of the other interns leave
Journal Club! A nerd (like myself)'s wet dream. Perfect.
Going to DC!!!! Serena! Dave! Tourism! Maybe Jolly will be there. Can't wait!
My real birthday. Turning 21. Hoping to have fun people around for my special moment...
Being back home as a 21-year-old
Being in LA in general. Seeing the bestests before driving with the other bestests up to PDX.
Road trip!!! Stopping in Santa Cruz and San Francisco on the way. I loves it.
Decorating my house in Portland and living with new people. Moving in, cooking, living. Adventures.

Oh, decisions

Do I take the "highly recommended for grad school and related to things I do enjoy but no fun at all in itself" computational cognitive science class next semester on Monday/Wednesdays or the "intrinsically fun but a ton of work and less related to the area of study that I plan on entering" psychopathology course that is offered on Tues/Thurs which would keep ALL of my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays? Then there is "Addictions", which I would also love to take.

What to dooooo? Overload? Is that a terrible thing to do while thesising? I know I really should take the compsci course but I don't want to lose psychopathology (which I'm currently signed up for).

Found this amusing
