Journal silent_rock's Journal: deranged insecurities 2

my AGU experience is complete, because today I saw my freshman chem 10 TA (jessie) on the escalator. i've see him EVERY year at AGU, for the past FIVE years, even though he is totally not in my field. i wonder if he is still a grad student. hah!

i met bossy for lunch and she told me that i shouldn't air my deranged, insecure dreams on the web. oh well. i can't control my subconscious! i am actually not sure if 273 reads this and i will save it as a mystery, until i communicate more and more outrageous insecurity dreams on here and it all blows up.

this is funny, and no i didn't mind:

it wasn't pretty but i passed. i had to use your brush this morning, i hope you don't mind. i left mine in houston and haven't brushed my hair since thanksgiving. i thought it'd be good to do it before orals. again, i'm really really sorry if you mind.

I watched a bunch of talks today with people presenting in English when it's not their first language and I thought, Wow, I am such an illiterate dumbass.

The word of the day is:

Main Entry: surficial
Pronunciation: "s&r-'fi-sh&l
Function: adjective
Etymology: surface + -icial (as in superficial)
: of or relating to a surface [surficial geologic processes]

(Isn't that the BEST example in a phrase?)
