In psychology class, we are now covering Freud and psychoanalysis. My professor admits that there are only two things certain about Freud: He is dead and he was wrong. However, he really likes the guy, so we are getting a healthy dose of him in lecture.

After lecture, I visited a library and read up on some stuff I hadn't read in a while. Later, I saw that my friend from across the hall was wearing her Superman t-shirt, so I had to get into the act as well. So I changed into my Superman t-shirt, and we went to dinner together, causing a lot of people to turn their heads. After dinner, I went to a showing of Oliver Stone's Platoon for my Vietnam War class. The movie was violent and sad, much like the war itself. It really gave a taste of what the war was like. The movie also starred Willem Dafoe, who is still creepy as hell, even when young and playing a good guy.

I had a talk with my proctor, and it appears as if I am at the precipice of great change. I then went to a birthday party for my friend Emer. The cake was from Finale, this uber-fancy (and expensive!) dessert restaurant in Harvard Square. It was so rich and chocolatey that some people could not finish their slices. The cake was really kind of like a really dense, creamy fudge. Yummy. I'll have to make it to Finale some time to try their other desserts.

I then talked to my sister for a long time on the phone. It was nice because I hadn't talked to her in a while. I also tried to find tickets for my trip home for summer. I am supposed to return home over Memorial Day weekend, so clearly the airfare will be quite steep.

Now, it's time for a picture of God (I know I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, but if this is what it takes to get you guys to fruggin' comment on my posts, then so be it!):



That's Martha Stewart, for those who don't know...
