The First Church of the Wrath of Baby Jesus and Open Bar™

Next quarter is my senior year. I am filled with dread for some reason. Probably because I don't really know what I'll do when I get out of college. I'm still thinking about pursuing a graduate degree, but in what? I've already decided that I'm essentially done with mathematics after this quarter. I have no educational background in the hard sciences, or the soft sciences. I'm not interested in the Classics, nor in learning Greek or Latin. For that matter, I am terrible at learning languages when I take into account the fact that I spent three years studying German before realizing that I had no real grasp of the language at all. I mean sure German in parts does make sense to me, and by extension bits of Old English. Sure I'd like to get some proficiency with modern German so I can gain some proficiency with the medieval Germanic languages.

Don't mind me. Must be time for my periodic freakout.

I took a nap. It was the best.

ALSO: I met a nice lady at the makerspace in Somerville and we're gonna be best friends and make things with computer parts and it will be wonderful forever!

[AFK]

I ate a sandwich.


It was delicious.

Last year I went through a lot of extreme dental pain because I was dumb enough to use an NHS dentist. They fucked up some fillings I needed, I bled a lot, couldn't sleep because of the pain, and my teeth continued to rot from the inside out for several weeks before I managed to get someone to listen to me, and confirm there was indeed still a problem. I managed to go to a private dentist who was soothing, awesome, and sorted me out in one visit. He did warn that because one of the fillings they put in was so close to the nerve, a problem might develop in future.

I started getting niggling pain today. It has been going on and off. I don't have the money to go back to the private guy. I desperately don't want to go back to the NHS.

I am praying this just goes away by itself. Teeth are the worst things ever.

If they abscess the pain tends to not be where the problem is.  At least for me.  I had two bottom teeth go, and the pain was in the roof of my mouth.  The only thing that relieved it was ice cold water.

It's the worst pain ever.  Now, the other problem is I had to go to docs and dentists before they figured out what was up.  The key though was only cold relieved it.  Because they were molars I needed an endodontist, who took yet another xray and identified which tooth somehow.

He said it isn't perfect, sometimes he has to drill to see what's the bad one.  I imagine that would be pricier.

Oh it's also dangerous to let that go though, can make you very sick if you don't get it treated.

Sorry for the doom and gloom, and yes teeth are the worst.

Dimo and I are going to start working on the layout for BIP this week. Really, I think this is going to be an excuse to troll the Student Coffeehouse.

How far did you go in math?

You surely must have some science requirements before you can graduate, right? Maybe you should consider also taking psychology, sociology, and one of the other soft sciences so you can get a taste of what they're like. One thing I don't really regret doing even though it leaves me with a surfeit of elective credits is taking a scattershot approach to classes my first term. I ended up taking the philosophy of science, intro to anthropology, and social problems which led to a full year of sociology... Now I know I don't like anthropology, the sociology gave me a great basis for my interest in social psychology and ultimately social neuroscience, and it was in the philosophy class that I was introduced to the Bridges program which gave my my internships.

I have decided that I'm really simply not fond of chemistry. Maybe it's just the class. I did, however, get complimented by the lab instructor, who told me that I'm really good in the lab and she doesn't need to check my lab notebook because she trusts me.

Have you tried Rosetta Stone? it DOES help.

Also, two friends and I are submitting our passports for renewal tomorrow at 3 different locations: Post office, AAA, and an embassy. All snail mail, non-expedited. We didn't plan on this to happen, but the idea that we're going to race to see how long it takes each of us to get ours in while submitting during a government shutdown is lulzworthy. 

Yes, they are still accepting them, we checked.

can't sleep. house-spiders will get me.

I have acquired a lab coat.

Uh-oh. OCD? Or anxiety?
