Officially all moved into my new “home.” My only complaint so far is that having a two hour time difference between you and the person you usually text until you fall asleep means having a weird moment of “oh, I should go to sleep” but then realizing that it’s only 10:30/11ish. My body is exhausted though and I have to wake up early tomorrow and wowowowowowowww California is real and this is actually happening after all that waiting. 
Oh, and I saw cuttlefish IN PERSON today and it was gr8 and I found out that the monterey bay aquarium will be having a cephalopod exhibit in the spring of 2014 and I’m already making plans to come back and see it.

My hair is all gone (again) and I’m exhausted from the past couple of days (but mostly today) and I have to wait until Tuesday to go to California (and it’s because of a total “I told you this would happen” event) which means I could still be in Ames (unfortunately I’m not) sitting around with k8 the gr8 and t. singahhh and etc. because I won’t get to see them for at least 5 months and I might not get to see t. singahhh for a whole year (which makes my heart all sorts of sad), but I’m not going to focus on that right now because sleep is calling my name (along with Fantastic Mr. Fox) and I look forward to waking up tomorrow morning and not being as much of an anxious mess as I am right now (or at least I hope that happens). Goodnight world.

It’s 3:30 a.m. and I can’t fall asleep. Of course, of course, of course. I’m too excited to be in Ames on Wednesday and just as excited to head to san francisco on Sunday and incredibly nervous to make my way to seaside and my fan is making weird noises so I’m going to meditate and try to sleep. or maybe I’ll go to the basement and watch fantastic mr. fox or I don’t know. All I want to do is sleep.

I’ve realized that the thought of being in/volunteering for/working at a science-y museum makes me very excited and happy even though that isn’t much of an option with my current life path, but I’m seriously considering changing my major now to I don’t even know what so that it can be.

wow, wow, wow. I love science and museums and spreading knowledge and I want to do all of these things. This is an awful time to be thinking about this because if I actually do this I’ll probably have to go to school every summer to catch up or go an extra year and I need to focus on that fact that I’ll be in California in a week and holy glob. This is too much. I’m going to go on my roof and look at the meteor shower some more to calm myself down. yep, yep, yep.
