morning muddles.

Chocolate chip muffins often disguise themselves as lemon poppyseed muffins. It is a terrible thing to realize that, as you are going for the oh-so-anticipated first bite, that the tiny black specks staring back at your are not poppyseed, but chips of chocolate. What makes it even more woeful is how there are not returns at the Caf here, and money is precious. Your pretty much required to eat whatever is on your plate, or you will be scrapping away money into the trash can - a nightmare for the starving student. I'm a little perturbed that the one time I choose a muf. for an AM fuel up that I'm blindsided by it's disguise, then forced to consume 25+ chocolate chips before the first class. BLECH.

As you can probably tell from my listless post, I'm half asleep. I've unearthed a gem of a website, allowing me to access any TV episode of all my favs, including HOUSE and Heroes. So I've developed a sick routine was of watching the latest via my laptop, before catching my zzz's. Downside? I'm -45 min of sleep. Upside? My dreams are filled with medical mysteries, and world-saving characters. Not a bad combo.

T-minus 10 days 'till I'm home. Not that I'm counting or anything... but I've come to realize how much I really love my family, and how much I miss the little things - like always eating dinner together. Every night we all eat together, which I had always assumed to be the norm for everyone else too. Turns out, it's not. My famjam is one of the odd ones in our society.

Psychology is wacked. Who thinks of dissecting a cat's skull to play w/it's brain in hopes to make it move: while being alive?! Honestly. I have a hard time connecting with this class. It's full of weird thoughts, weird theories, and even weirder people.

ANYWAYS. It is another chilly day in the land of the lower mainland. There was frost everywhere, and enough chill to make your nose hurt. But it's a perfect way to start my day, regardless of the early morning chocolate chips.
