went in to campus today but not yesterday to get some work done.
yesterday was a full do-nothing kind of day. i did have some nice
art related ideas though. i want to get back into my party planning
stuff, which was a lot of fun. i think my favorite thing for that
is still the party-planning floor mats. i have some thoughts about
new directions to take that, but i hopefully would be able to
integrate it to some extent with the more recent (but still like
year old) work around essential/authentic things. 
today i got a bunch of cell systems homework done. only one problem
left (about). still unclear on if it was due friday or monday
because i still don't have access to any of the course sites.
great. i emailed a professor today asking if he'd take me for the
second rotation slot. hopefully he says yes. his research is in
cellular circuits and signal pathways and otherwise systems
modeling stuff. super cool. he's who gave the last lecture for that
class and the source text for a lot of this stuff is super cool
too. i'd downloaded it before classes started but barely looked
through it. i started reading it for real a couple hours ago and
it's awesome. 
tomorrow i'm getting brunch with ana, ana's mom, and ana's uncle
who is in town. it should be fun. then most of what i have to do is
just make sure i finish my homework for monday. that probably means
going to campus again because i can't focus on school stuff for the
life of me when i'm home.
i finally finished the last of some spicy peppers that we got from
family friends of ana's today. every pepper was a gamble cause i
didn't try them before putting the whole thing in whatever i was
eating. the first one i ever used was by far the worst. the spicier
ones since then weren't as much spicy as they were mouth-numbing in
a strange way. i'd take that over sweating though. now i want to
buy more random produce just to have to use it. 
that's all
                                                        thanks
