"life is beautiful"
it's funny how when things hit, they really hit you full force.
class started monday, and i got hammered with research papers to read, apa manuals to assess, and research disserations to write. stuff is due next week, i need to go find a kid to watch in the child study center by next week, and i found a professor at school to advise me on acculturation studies, which is exactly what i want to do. volunteering has sort of kicked in, but it seems to be ridiculously hard to get a hold of these people. i can't wait to get in there and start doing useful things. it's just really amazing that, when i finally opened myself up to letting great things happen, fortune walked in the door bearing gifts. it's just all too good! and, i met some really fantastic people in my graduate class. i think the thing about psychologists is that they really care about human nature and welfare, so they're all really nice and caring and gregarious people. i dig it =p.
other than that, last night a friend and i took his car down the pch at midnight to half moon bay. the weather was graciously beautiful last night, and the moon was so huge that the entire drive was brightly lit by natural luminescence. he has a convertible so we put the top down, heated up our seats and put the air on full blast. we got out around dunes beach and watched the water lap against the rocks, but it was a bit cold, so we couldn't stay out that long.
i've decided that the ocean is one of those things that you can watch indefinitely. i just don't get sick of hearing the rhythm of it, and seeing how calm and pacifying it is. anyhow, it felt nice to be one of maybe ten people on the road, when everything was so quiet, and we could put on some hokey 80s music. the best part was that when i got home, my hair was all over the place and my face a tad chilly. it was so neat!
oh and we tried out our new vacuum cleaner. it is *so* sexy.
