Everyone's at It


The new quarter has started and I'm slowly getting back into a schedule that allows me to get little to no sleep and still function. I decided this quarter to take a little break from my required science classes. I am taking a philosophy class on the theory of knowledge which is proving more frustrating than interesting. My professor constantly attacks scientific logic... just doesn't jive with me. For all I know I could just be a brain in a vat being fed signals to trick me into thinking the external world exists. ha ha philosophy is a trip. I'm also taking a writing class which is teaching me how to put together a resume and how to write research proposals, so that no doubt will be helpful when I apply for grad school and jobs.

The last three months have been an emotional roller coaster. Yesterday my Mommer, our Mommer, my great grandmother passed away and forcing myself to go to class has been tough. I really just want to spend time with my family, especially my dad and my sister. Just really want to sit around and bake and play rummy 2000. Losing two family members this year has really put a lot into perspective for me, but I don't know quiet how to act on this new out look yet. I know in time I will know exactly what to do and when to do it.

Edinburgh is absolutely official now. I turned in all the paper work and looking to buy my plane ticket soon. Emotionally though, next year is sitting on the back burner. I have little spurts of excitement but generally speaking there is so much more on my mind right now. I'm sure as September approaches more and more excitement will build. I have made the decision to try out for the club soccer team while I'm there.

Life has been pretty mellow and drab for me lately. Nothing too exciting to report.

Love you all very much,
Liesbeth
