SIGH

It's morning. Again. :p

I now have TWO psych experiments to do today... I tacked one on at 2:00. BUT the good news is that I'll have plenty of credit slips after today, which means I don't have to do anymore of these farking things. ;ppppp

The hard part is getting my paper done tonight. I haven't done nearly as much background work as I would have liked. My paper probably won't be all that good, but as long as I actually do one, it's okay. And you know, I've never gotten *anything* below a B- on a paper, even when half-assing it. So I figure that, as long as I turn in a paper, even a relatively lame one, I can't do *too* badly on it, because I'm a good writer. That's my strength here. I'll need it to make up for the fact that I'm not a hardcore Psych or Linguistics freak like the rest of the people in this bloody class. :p

In other news, I'm tired, although not as bad as yesterday. I didn't notice any nasty circles under my eyes this morning, but then again, the lighting in our bathroom isn't the best. ::shrug:: Oh well.

Lots and lots of PAIN!

Oh my freakin' GOD I hurt all kinds of bad! The psych experiment I just did was worse than I thought. They put this weird pseudo-helmet on your head, and it has little infrared cameras on it that track the movement of your eyes. THEN they put you in an un-lit room with a black screen, black walls, black ceiling, etc, so it's all creepy and near-impossible to tell where you are in relation to the rest of the room.

Between the incessant eye-focusing and the pressure of the helmet, I now have a rip-roaring headache and eyeache. Both are fading, but it still sucked. :p One of the experimenters told me afterwards that when he tried it, he couldn't even get through all the trials in one sitting. Jeebus, people. :p The good news is, I got 2 credit slips out of it. Go me. ;p

I'm in a writing mood. I'm not sure what to write about though. Well, okay, so I'm in a *creative* writing mood. I'm not at all in the mood to write the paper I have to write later.

I have another study in an hour or so. Jeesh. :p Then I may come back to work again, or I might just go home and start on my paper.

Blah

So I'm home now. I'm waiting around for Chuck to pop in and *finally* give us the lowdown on paperwork and the new leases and such. It has been insanely hard to find time to talk to the guy, because he's only here during the day, and Cory and I are usually gone all day. (or in Cory's case, sometimes sleeping like the dead ^_-)

I really, really do not want to write this paper tonight. I have been exhausted all week, and for no apparent reason, and I am definitely not up to the sleep deprivation that it will require of me. BLAH. Scr00 dat, j0.

Survey fun!

This song 0wnz, j0.

I think I should start reading soon. I'm so tired right now that I know I'll fall asleep though.

P.S. webcam is on. I look remarkably bald today. O_o;

"NO REMORSE!! I WANNA DIE!"

Thank you Atari Teenage Riot for the lyrics. They don't really apply to this entry, nor do they apply to me, but it's a cool song anyway. :D

I'm working on my paper, sort of. I've resigned myself to the idea of turning it in late, because that stupid psychology study I did this morning is *still* causing me pain. I want to burn my own eyes out with a hot poker right now. I'm amazed that I'm even typing this, because looking at the computer monitor hurts too, which kind of precludes any extended period of typing. And isn't it a bitch that I wouldn't have even *had* to do the psych study if it weren't for the class that I'm writing the paper for? So basically, one aspect of the class is impairing my ability to deal with another. \/\/34|<.
