infestors

amy has mice, we have ants. it put me spiraling downward into an unnecessary flip out at my housemates and their cleaning abilities.

mb called me today and it was so cute. apparently she really likes swing music a lot seeing as it's her favorite kind that she's learned about in her music history class. she said she has a test as well. she calls because she can't get the kitchen phone to work to call my mom, but for some reason it works to call me. i'm definately okay with that.

i also have a new research position. it is in the language and cognition lab and tomorrow i get to practice putting ERP caps and gel on peoples scalps. i'm actually really very excited about this. perhaps we will learn something about french/english bilingual brain activity when we fake them out. i feel like i am contributing to the world. i used to think the most effective.only way to contribute was with art, which i dont do much of besides personal crafts, but i think that institutional research is probably more important.

we're all getting along quite swimmingly aren't we? we each have our own things we must do but we manage to find time for our collectively enjoyed hobbies together. i should bite my tongue after this bought of bad luck i've had, but maybe i'm on the upswing?
