i've finally finished my cell systems homework. i also got a response back from that professor and he said he'd be open to having me for the second rotation. now i want to read through this whole biological circuits book so i'm not afraid of sounding stupid when we eventually meet. he said some time next week would work best for him, which is cutting it close for rotation selection, but alas. now all i want to do is come up with more art ideas. i also have some scraps of music processing projects i want to actually implement. today was pretty uneventful in all on account of trying to finish this assignment. we went to brunch with ana's mom and uncle which was nice. the food wasn't great but it was still good. i got some strange version of eggs benedict on sourdough with mushrooms that weren't very good. they came by the apartment because ana's uncle hadn't seen it before. we discovered a key for most of our doors. i didn't even know they had locks. unfortunately, none of them can be pulled shut far enough for the lock bar to go in the slot (whatever that terminology is). it doesn't really matter, it would just be fun if that actually worked. i called my dad as i walked back from campus just to catch up. it was a nice conversation. i hope i can visit home somewhat soon but i don't know when any of my breaks are. when i got home i just dropped my stuff off and went to target for some groceries. there's something about people in that target. they're always standing in the way of everything all the time, around every corner all at the same time. i've learned the routes through the store that minimize how many people i have to say 'excuse me' to or squeeze by, but it's still never none. it really doesn't matter, i'm just being easily annoyed. mostly because my headphones have been dead since the other day. i keep forgetting to charge them. i also had to go to 7/11 today for cigarettes. this was earlier in the day. people are fine there. it was slightly too cold for the short sleeve shirt i was wearing so i put on a sort of windbreaker sweatshirt, but that was too hot. i was in too deep though and if i took it off i would have sweat marks on my shirt, so i just kept it on. it really wasn't that bad though.
