Illusions

I've decided that it's absolutely necessary to eat a large dinner prior to my night classes. Staying awake in neuroscience last Wednesday was certainly a challenge. This means a change to my saving money plan of only spending on two days a week to spending any day of the week with a limit of $20, which I probably won't reach anyways, so...Yeah, neuroscience that night wasn't fun at all. I was pretty close to like a mental breakdown or something too, from being uber paranoid about failing the course due to those damn brain teasers, which should not be worth 15% of our mark. 5% would be more understandable...After the first one that night (had us figuring out why it made sense for a term to be in the denominator of the equation...), I couldn't focus at all for a bit, but then stress slowly dissipated and went away almost completely when the second one he gave us was a lot easier.

I did the Cootes field trip assignment for Ecology on Friday with Christine and Krisna. It was a good time overall, as we didn't do the guided tour and went on the trails ourselves. I was a little disappointed we didn't see anything cool, like flying squirrels and coyotes (we had a list of animals/plants found there). On the way back, we decided to be intense and run along the trail like Indiana Jones. Okay, maybe only I saw it like that, but we did go faster.

I hate not being able to be in my room because my mom wants to watch TV shows on my computer...It's fine I guess, but I just would prefer to sit at my desk to read.

I didn't get all the stuff I wanted to get done this weekend, which means it's going to be a busy week, assuming I'm productive. Sleep is such a waste of time...only because it prevents me from doing work.

Speaking of sleep, I've been going to bed super early lately. I think it was Friday that I went to bed just after 8:00. That's Dave Edge early, or even earlier I think. I've also been having some pretty intense dreams too. I remember having a lion or some sort of giant cat that was after me in a zoo/amusement park. Then, there was one where I had to investigate some kid's room because he got kidnapped or killed or something, and it involved some sort of spirit. There was one where I had before, except this time is themed differently. Pretty much, there's like a intense competition involving a lot of random people I know, and there's several tasks to complete. The whole thing is a race with different parts to it. Anyways, the one I had like last night or the night before was Disney-themed, and one of the tasks involved listing all the characters that we could find in the area. I guess I thought I was being clever in the dream by going around the perimeter only to find no entrances, forcing me to scale the wall. The other competition dreams I've had before were much more intense then this, sometimes involving jungle mazes with creatures and mechanized stairs/floating steps.

New episode of Smallville and Supernatural premiered on Thursday. Smallville seems to be heading off into the right direction even though the episode was full of nonsense. At least Clark's at the Daily Planet now. Yeah, somehow a college drop-out with no experience other than writing for his high school paper managed to get a job at one of the biggest newspapers in the country. He even got his own desk and everything too. If only the real world worked like that...Supernatural was spectacular as usual. It was just amazing. You know what else is amazing? The chocolate banana drink that Kelly made me yesterday.
