1:44 Early Monday Afternoon   The Walk and the Attitude Today I'm spending on campus. I could have gone to the seed lab after work to weigh Justin's barley, but I made an appointment with this department's advisor. At this point, I don't know what to think anymore. This morning, after outcatering for an hour and a half...after feeling on-and-off miserable, up one minute and about to cry the next...I had tea with my dad, Duarte, Duarte's friend from Argentina, Paul, and my mom. It was alright. They talked a lot about university politics, as they usually do. That is the exposure I get when I hang out with other profs, i guess. heh. really makes me want to go that extra mile and get a Ph.D. sure. anyway. it was good, though, i mean, i got a muffin out of the deal. My throat has been hurting these past few days. I talked to caleb on the phone for 2 hours last night. I really really miss him. 120 days until I go home. After morning tea, I came back to my dad's office and started reading "Moo" by Jane Smiley. I'm very absorbed. I've only been reading it for about 2 hours on-and-off, but i'm already on like, page 60...which seems quite a bit slower than usual, but I have had to go back and read a few sections over because I didn't quite grasp the sentences the first time. Anyway. eventually I went to have lunch. at the student centre, I found Paul, Dan, Dominique, and Mark. and sat with them while they finished eating and talked. When they left, I got a veggie sub and a Dr. Pepper. I wasn't really excited about the Dr. Pepper but i couldn't find the free water cups. Campus is coming back to life. Classes start on Monday and I have no idea how i feel. Anyway, it's time to go talk about things i already know about with my advisor. But it will be good just to get them down officially, i guess.
