not much to say. i'm going to the Eastern Psychological Association (EPA) conference march 16-19 in baltimore. i'm excited for that. mr. etown is that sat night, and i'm going to miss it. that makes me sad since joe is in it this year. oh well. that sunday is gretchen's bridal shower (jeff is finally getting married!) so i'm going to try to come straight home early sunday morning to go to that then head back to school mon morning so i can go to the bridge sunday night and see kim and whoever else is there. i might see if liz wants to meet me in baltimore fri or sat night so we can hit up the latin palace for some dancing. we'll see.
one more week of school then i'll be home for spring break. i'm probably going to go to nj for a day b/c dimetrios is coming from greece to see amanda, and i want to see him!!!!!

Valentine's Day...
...was lots of fun. I got candy from Tom, mom & dad, and my friend Jills. Roses from mom & dad.
Then Amanda, Sara, Jills, Mel, & I had a glass of wine while watching American Idol and the olympics, then watched just like heaven and ate a ton of snack food.

Sara, Me, Jills...ready with our popcorn for a nice chick flick

update
so...what's been going on in the life of me lately...
*i performed brain surgery last week
(and by brain surgery i mean dissected a sheep's brain)
that was kinda cool once i got past being really grossed out
classes are going well so far. for the most part they're pretty interesting.
all my honor's stuff is going to kill me. i need 4 credits for my honors thesis/honors in the discipline thesis. the psych program doesn't have a course for a senior thesis unlike most departments. so i'm contracting my research course for this semester to do extended research into next semester, which means i'll most likely take an incomplete for this semester and finish next semester since i have until october to complete an incomplete. after finishing the extended research portion of my thesis, i'll have another month and a half or so to finish the thesis which needs to be formally presented before finals in december...yeah that's a little scary. my thesis also needs to be judged excellent/honors quality by at least half of the faculty in my department. the formal presentation aspect is just an honors program requirement, not honors in the discipline req. my prof for my research class seems pretty cool so i'm kinda looking forward to working with her. i'm looking to combine positive psychology with developmental psychology since my research course is in developmental psych, fortunately, they go together pretty well. also, while talking to the honors program director, also the prof directing my thesis prep seminar, she suggested getting in contact with dr. seligman, the founder of positive psychology, about possibly meeting him and visiting his lab since he's a prof at upenn. i'll have to look into that.
dance is going well. i really like the number i'm in although it's a little rough on my knee. my water aerobics class was cancelled for this week b/c my instructor had to go to a funeral then this weekend is MACs, some big final competition thing for the swim team, so i got to the gym monday and hopefully will tomorrow if i have any free time during the day.
i think that's about it for now.
