Dreams

I had an absolutely terrifying dream just now which is why I am awake. I am hoping that after I post I can sleep.

I dreamt that my father was attacking one of my friends. My father is not a violent man, nor has he ever acted in anyway inappropriate to me or my friends to my knowledge. I was so scared in the dream. I called 911 and ran upstairs and closed the door blocking it. I was so scared he would come after me.

On a lighter note my roommmates room may actually not legallly be a bedroom. This would mean we could get out of the lease. On campus housing seems not to be an option... but there is a 1 bedroom in my price range owned by mit. Anyone know a lawyer?

What Women Want

I am rewatching What Women Want. Its that movie with Mel Gibson in it. Its pretty fun. My parents both loved it.

Its an interesting movie, for those who don't know the plot Mel Gibson can hear women's thoughts.

It was interesting to watch the things that Helen Hunt's character goes through. There is this scene where she feels edged out because she doesn't smoke cigars. I remember feeling that way both with my advisor and at work at the USGS. I end up in these situations where I feel like what am I doing here... I can't identify with these guys. The lunch conversations bore me and I start to really hate making an effort. It doesn't make sense to me why I can get along so well with guys but never feel like I fit in with the guys at work. So at the USGS I started eating lunch alone at my desk. I don't blame the guys I worked with, its not their job to entertain me at work. I just felt left out.

My new advisor is also a guy. I hope that he and I can develop some kind of friendship... I mean I don't want to go out for a drink with him or anything but since we will be stuck on research cruises together it'd be nice if we felt comfortable with one another.

I talked to the law student down the hall and she told me that its true that if they said that our apt was a two bedroom that its an illegal lease. I hope my roomie can find the lease at work this week.

I found what might be a pretty good apt for me. Its not in Porter which makes me sad but its nearer to the lab and therefore nearer to Kendall which means that when I come back from the gym I can take the Safe Ride. It will be nice to have my own place for once, last time I did so I felt really lonely but I think that with my new beau and all my friends I will be fine and at least I won't have to worry what might be going on at my place while I am at WHOI.
