What's Up, Doc?

Recent Happenings in my Life, in Case I Haven't Told You, or If You Were Curious, or if You're Just Bored/Voyeuristic:
-I got a job in Music and Dance special collections, so I now work for the HBLL... again
-I eat peaches a lot
-I eat a lot of cabbage
-My stomach is really loud lately (maybe all the cabbage?)
-I took my first (and only...) midterm of the semester this week!
-I have most of my time scheduled away, even though I'm still up to my procrastinating and unproductive ways!
-I'm figuring out my Halloween costume still, but it's more or less between Liz Lemon (soul twin #4) and the counselor from Glee (soul twin #2)
-I've started PhD applications... but haven't gotten far
-I'm planning to finish my prospectus this week! I CAN do it! Si se puede! (I don't speak Spanish.... is that how you say it?)
-I ignore my blogs when I'm legitimately busy... who knew?
-I keep realizing that I just want to be in school forever and learn everything! Who wants to teach me something?
-I still hate calling strangers... and people I know... except my Mom. She may be the only person I am comfortable talking with on the phone.
-I may be addicted to texting, in part because of the above. I might make a goal to change that. Maybe....
-Sometimes I'm emotional, but I'll still swear to you that emotions are for the weak! Because they are.
-My soul twin is Liz Lemon. For reals.
