The end is coming!
Sorry I haven't written recently, things are getting pretty busy around here. The end of the semester is coming up fast, and I'm not ready for it. Research is coming along, but whether I will be done is unforeseeable right now. I talked with Dr. Tag and we have a few options, so I'm a little less stressed, but finishing is the only option that allows me to graduate with honors. So even though I have options to protect my GPA, I could lose my honors. Therefore I guess I'm still just as stressed. I really don't think well unless I'm writing or speaking, I always seem to figure things out when doing either. As soon as I open my mouth and let everyone know what I'm thinking, I realize its wrong! Usually I know how to fix it, but once everyone hears you're dumb thinking, its too late!
Anyway, things have been going pretty well. Evie and I are both extremely busy, but we are doing things now and then to de-stress. I'm still trying to get my research to a point that I can write an abstract and submit it by November 1st to go to the IEEE Southeastcon (http://sec05.nova.edu/). I have an interview at PPD next Wednesday for 2 hours! Hopefully to get that internship position which might lead to a permanent job when I graduate. I had a long talk with D the other day (one of the profs in the Psy dept), and he apparently has been doing a low-carb lifestyle plan also. He lost over 90 pounds! When I saw him a year or so after I originally met him, I thought he had that gastric by-pass surgery where they cut off 2/3 of your stomach. He lost a dramatic amount of weight, visibly, not just on the scale. We talked about a lot of the issues I've been having like slight depression and fatigue, he said he experienced the same thing. Gave me some pointers, thought I'm not sure I'm going to try them. I don't like messing with body chemistry, especially brain chemistry.
In other news, I have been reading The Users Guide to the Brain, a book by a doctor from Harvard that got excellent reviews. Its basically a manual on neuroscience for the lay person. Very interesting stuff, you all should check it out.
Well, gotta get back to research and work. I'm really trying to get the NY stuff on the website, just too damn busy right now. I'll get it up ASAP.
Take care.
