Me, the great neuroscientist!

Yes, yes, I know... Once again I find myself making pathetic excuses for not updating my blog. It's sad really...
But let's skip all that and go straight to the point... I've been at uni today to discuss details about ny graduate thesis. I'm so thrilled! I'm so going to have the time of my life. - And I will accept nothing less because in reality it is going to be my life in the future. The development this has taken is actually quite humorous... I can't remember ever having wanted to be a veterinarian or a ballarina or a jockey or any of the other things little girls wish. The first thing I remember saying was that I wanted to be a brain-scientist... And now that's sort of what I'm going to become. I'm going to study the processes of the brain; how memory works and about cognition in general. I guess, that says something very fundamental about me: When I find something I care about, I stick to it. That goes for every aspect of my life really. It's a nice trait to have, I think, but it can also be a burden. My room is, for example, flooded over with useless junk I can't force myself to discard because it held value for me at a point in my life, and I've sort of grown attached to it.
Well, I kinda got off the subject, didn't I? I haven't decided upon a final project yet but me and my study-buddy Mette who's also going to write her thesis at the same department at AKI, are going to be an integrated part of the "neuro-group" this fall so we get to know the rutines, the people and the job before beginning next spring.
This fall I'm going to follow courses in statistics and neurobiology - I'm looking forward to both...
Another piece of news of mine is that I've bought a new cell-phone; a Nokia 6610i. I've set it up Buffy-style with a background picture of my beloved Spike and the Buffy theme as my ringtone. I've completely gone Buffy-manic this summer. Perhaps because I've spent so much time alone, all my friends out travelling and all. I'm very pleased with my phone and I've shown it to everybody who wants to look and listen.
Hmmm... What else has been going on... Yes, I've lost 3 pounds. Now you probably laugh. 3 pounds, you think, how can that be a big deal. But I tell you, it is. To me anyway. I've begun to feel like a hippo in spite of people telling me I'm pretty and shouldn't lose a single pound... But being about 114 pounds when I want to be 94 is a really big issue for me. I've been desperate, really standing on the brink of despair. But now everything is much brighter in my little narcissistic world: 3 pounds and 20 to go. It can be done.
Now you're probably tired of my babbling, but that doesn't mean a thing. I won't stop on that account :) I bought "Pirates of the Caribbean" last week (can't remember if I told you), and I absolutely loved it!!! Orlando Bloom is back in the game. The dissapointment I felt about his performance in "Troy" has been replaced with the same admiration I felt after watching LOTR. The extra material on the discs are fab. Absolutely fab. I haven't watched it all yet but what I've seen so far has amazed me. I have a little movie-wannabe in the pit of my stomach waiting to get out. I would like to work in special effects or do the prostheses or being a set designer. Or a writer. I desperately want to be a writer. The only problem is that I actually has to write something first. Perhaps I should go do that now. Write a chapter on my Buffy season 8, episode 1: "Headquarters"... Until next time!
