Mostly it is great. And mostly I pretend it is great.
Overall the word I will use to describe it is: SWELL. Because swell also means "to overflow" and that is what is happening.
I am just overflowing with knowledge.
And overflowing with knowledge leads to moments... nay days of being overwhelmed. There are a lot of "overs" happening here.
Overall.
Overflow.
Overwhelmed.
Overboard.
Overconfident.
Overdramatic.
And the point of all these "overs" is that grad school causes extremes.
Examples:
Extreme smartness: Once I had a casual conversation with a stranger about the medial lemniscus nerve tract and trigeminal nerve tract. And I knew what I was saying.
Extreme emotions: Once I cried because a song told me "don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up, and pimp smack you up". I'm doing my best sir!
Extreme procrastination: Dangling a string for Penny for an hour is often urgent.
And necessary.
Extreme addictions: Angry birds. I agree with Franny... I wanna wipe those smug smiles off those damn pigs faces.
Total Extreme AwesomenessExtreme friendliness/abrasive eagerness: Just now I walked out of the coffee shop to shout across the street at a woman about what breed her dog was.
It was a chocolate lab.
Extreme walking: Often necessary.
Extreme awesomeness: This may just be another 'over"... the over being overconfident. But that's me in that picture up there. Roundhouse-kick to your face mr. shark. uhh... awesome.
like this about extreme friendliness. tried asking a dude in NYC what breed his dog was (looked like a dalmation, but broader, maybe a lab mix?) he goes, "lady, what do you THINK it is?" and spits on the ground. win some you lose some, that's what i say.
