college life

College life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. To make money, the college student often finds themselves poked with infra-red lights in the eye just to make a few bucks. I should know first hand because that is exactly what the second study I volunteered for was all about. They measured my visual perception by poking my eye with infra-red lights. For one hour and for a mere 10 pounds, I was someone’s lab rat. I feel a bit dirty, but oh well. The lovely face of a crisp 10 bill is all I really need to cheer me up. The week before that I also participated in a study. Although there were no laser beams attacking my eyes, I did have to wake up early yet again just to be a lab rat. Ugh. The troubles of being a lab rat. You think we would have a union, but we don’t.
In other news, will be returning to New York in just a few weeks. I really can’t wait. It will probably be my same life over again, but at least this time I won’t have the same responsibilities. I get to have fun! I plan to party like there is no tomorrow. I have even started looking for party dresses. The only one thing I have to do is visit my mom, and of course, spend Christmas with them. The rest of the two week vacation will just be me maxing and relaxing in the good NYC.


PS There is this yucky kid in the computer lab who keeps clearing his throat and coughing. It is a bit disgusting. I mean I know he can’t control it, but his wheezing is giving me the hee-bee-jee-bees (sp?).
