don't wanna know why you like me, i don't care....

three things....

1. i don't f'ing believe it. i actually worked on the dissertation again today. that's right, i finally put pen to paper (fingers to keys?) and started writing. for those who don't know, dissertating has been a very long process for me. i've had my topic for over a year, but i seem to have some physiological aversion to working on it. any time i would plan on working on it, i literally felt sick. i'd never encountered a feeling like this, at least not toward schoolwork. so yesterday i sat down with my advisor and asked for some help. he told me just to start writing, and i reluctantly heeded his advice. two paragraphs into the introduction, though, i wanted to check some facts against one of the articles i'd read, only to find that my stack of literature was nowhere to be found. (the sick feeling returns.) i search throughout my desk and the rest of the office, but i find nothing. i guess it got thrown out when i switched offices. it is somewhat disheartening to know that even the little work you've done is all for naught. i couldn't handle it and had to go home. but i tell you what...those two paragraphs were quality. maybe i'll post them....

2. have you ever woken up from a nap to find yourself talking to someone on the phone? this afternoon, i awoke to the voice of my alaskan friend whom i hadn't talked to in a couple of months. i'd guess i'd been talking to her for five minutes before i realized that i was talking to someone on the phone in real life. this is the second time i remember something like this happening to me. during my junior year, i awoke to find myself applying for a new credit card. i can only hope that i haven't given out my social security number to too many strangers while asleep. i have a feeling that i'd be a great subject for hypnosis....

3. congratulations to my brother, the "nuttiest" fan of the longhorns' first game of the year.



for his victory, he received a football signed by mack brown and now has the chance to win tickets to a game next year. i think he would have done it for nothing though.... good job bro! and i've always known that you're the "nuttiest"....
