electrons, cigarettes, dilated pupils and corn dogs
the last 36+ hours....yeah. my brain is still fuzzy and i am having a difficult time recalling exactly what happened yesterday. i started yesterday morning with the Fundamentals of Physics volume 2. how should i define current, resistance, and capacitance? was that really the membrane potential that i was measuring? will rama ask me questions that i won't be able to answer? just some of the many thoughts that spun through my head as i threw together a very short powerpoint presentation. the presentation didn't actually go as bad as i thought it would, but pretending to be a white man was just not doing the trick and i could hear my voice shake as a mumbled about voltage and cable propeties of neurons. at least i did not forget to use the word "propagate" 12 times...i told carrick the only way to add a word into my 5th grade vocab is to use it over and over again.
the rest of yesterday is mostly a blur. i remember buying cigarettes and beer, watching tv, wandering around campus, and finding little ants all over me. and the 20 questions ball knew that i was thinking of a sloth! what excitement.
things got mildly interesting post 2:00 am. the research was going slow, the brain was tired, but my mind was focused. i owe it all to the amphetamines. this is around the time that i came across the wonderful website wikipedia. blah blah blah...moving on to around 4:00 am. attempted to make my way to the bathroom, which is right around the corner from my room. slammed straight into the edge of the door with my nose and forehead because it was too dark to see where the doorway was. decided to treat my wounds with a delicious microwavable corn dog and a cigarette. pure ecstasy.
i proceeded to do a little more work and then watched the sun come up from the front porch and basked in the heat for a while. at this point maggie was awake and leaving for work...and she saw my crackhead eyes. pupils dilated to the max. i guess that's what happens when you pop pills all night and don't get a wink of sleep.
a little before 9:00 i took a shower. you know how you don't need to turn on the lights when it is sunny outside? so, i'm in the shower and then all of a sudden it got a little darker in the bathroom. i thought maybe someone had come in and was standing in front of the window blocking the sunlight, but then it got darker and darker and darker....it got to the point where i could not see my feet or legs or where the soap tray had gone.
the wind was blowing, the rain was pouring, and the trees were swaying. the housemates were involved with watching the storm, as i struggled to keep my eyes open. some how i did more work today, and am still awake. yet, the dilated pupils remained until late this afternoon.
is there repressed anger lurking in this house? i dreamt a few weeks ago that justus was being a total asshole to me, and he dreamt that i was trying to shoot him.
margaret, what the hell is up with the celebrities? avril replaced her skater boy with a 41 year old? so intriguing

oh sarah, your trials with sangerstress sound all too familiar although i can safely say that i was asleep at 11:30 last night.
in 24 hours we will be partaking in a drunken revelry this has never seen.
*cheers* to July 22nd.
