I don't know what it is lately, the weather or the whole grad school thing or the recent dire warnings about climate change (which bother me a lot), but I've been very anxious the past couple of days. It may also be because I'm not adjusting well from my Thanksgiving trip, in part because my little brother gave me a computer game that I've spent way too long playing. Because I'm playing it so much I have not been getting enough sleep, which has messed up some other things (like my willingness to exercise). I really need to cut down.
I've also been remiss in updating the journal and writing about my Florida trip.

There have been three fairly significant events since I got back: first, my ADHD/Asperger's social skills class is over, so I can go back to knitting circle now. Through that class I also found out about a short evaluation study I can go through that will earn me $40. I need to ask if Penn has some central processing place for clinical or psych evaluation trials, because I could use the extra money. That reminds me, I have to buy some cards and gifts and the makings of holiday cookies. Oh, the second event is that I finished writing Perl scripts and procedures at work for a certain series of projects, so while the ones I've been doing before have taken a really long time (not good), the rest should take a lot less time, although they will still need some by-hand tweaking. I'm glad for that because so far the projects have been really frustrating and boring. The third event was my roomate's boyfriend bringing his eight-year-old daughter with him when he came to visit. While I don't like him too much, because he is not a good guest, his daughter is adorable. She really liked Roo and happily played my PS2 for a while. She's also quite smart: she reads very well and already has a handle on good eating habits (she is appalled by some other kids her age who constantly eat potato chips and have gotten very fat as a result). I don't normally like kids, but she is okay.
Wow, I babbled a lot. But I feel better for having written this all out.
