Spent all afternoon working on Quantum down in the physics department. I'm still not done, but the other people also working there left for choir and I had a head ache so I came back. I still have a head ache. Hopefully it will go away in time for me to finish the quantum, but I'm not going to worry about it until I can think straight. The phone rang right after I got back. It was Josh calling from Nashville. He's been calling a bunch, but mostly leaving messages 'cause I haven't been in. He's very silly. He called me twice from the Ontario airport. He says he doesn't think he'll go to school at Vanderbilt. He talked to all the chem profs who do computational-type stuff. He said none of it sounded very good. One of them did research involving proteins (anyone who's read Josh's LJ recently knows what he thinks about biochem), another seemed really out of it, and according to her research students she is always like that. I think there were a couple others that also didn't sound too appealing. Also, the TA work is lab assing rather than recitations, which he apparently thinks would be less interesting--I'd certainly agree with that myself. I feel like I should be sad that he didn't find something there that he wants to do, except I really don't. I feel like his being gone for two days shouldn't make me lonely, except that I am.
I tried to find my hum advisor to talk to him about getting Fiction Writing to count as a seminar. He wasn't in either time I went by though. My schedule for next semester is feeling incredibly inflexible. I've got 4 tech classes I want to take and they are all offered when they are offered, so fitting stuff in around them is annoying, especially because I want to keep big contiguous time blocks open for research.
Later....
Been looking at course stuff. Assuming I can get box two credit for "Regional Dances of Mexico" (it's a Chicano Studies course), I'll probably take one of the seminars that isn't box 2, like the Media Studies one or the Enterprise and Entrepreneurs one. If I can get seminar credit for Fiction Writing, I will probably take Ethics or Psychology.
My head still hurts. I should take something and go to dinner.
