Argh brain stoppit.

Things:

• I'm currently planning on taking an incomplete in my anthro class. This is a Good Thing, especially considering that clinic is going to be terrible for the next couple of weeks and concert is coming up. I was thinking that I could in theory finish my work during dead week. Then I thought, no, I really won't do that. Thus I am meeting with Awesome Anthro Prof tomorrow morning to talk about a time frame. I need to work out a rough time frame tonight, actually, which is why I'm still awake. Ew, awake.
  
  
• Speaking of which, being woken up by one's body two and a half hours before one's alarm is due to go off by sensations that lead one to stay in the bathroom for over an hour is unpleasant.
  
  
• I HATE VIENNESE WALTZ. There, I said it. Lilting pivots suck.
  
  
• Keep having thinky thoughts about why I don't really like CS and why I really do like social sciences. I think part of it has to do with ways of problem solving, and the habits I've formed in high school and here -- I never really learned how to problem solve, because I never had anything in high school that was difficult enough that I had to work on it and think about it, and here I've never really had time to work things out for myself, since I've almost always worked on problem sets to tight deadlines. When I have a chance to talk things out with people, work goes a lot better in general. It's not that I can't work through things, it's just that it's really, really difficult for me; understanding systems is much easier. Once I get something, I got it, but getting to that stage takes work outside of class. These thinky thoughts are somewhat unsettling, because they imply that an alternate-universe me, where I did get the hang of working through problems earlier in college, absolutely adores her major. She's probably going to CMU or UW or something in the fall. I'm kind of glad I'm not her, and I never thought I would say that.
  
  
• Related: I'd like to do the past four years over. Sort of like reincarnation -- living until one learns enough to fix one's mistakes. I'm finally starting to figure out how I learn and work best, just in time to leave school. At least I get one more semester to try to get things right-er.
  
  
• I think my relationship with the counselor I've been seeing works because it is nothing like the relationship I've had with any therapist-type person I've seen in the past. That is a post in itself.
  
  
  Can has brain dump?
