Tumblr picture I likeI thought I should be hardworking today and decided to read the chapter on jealousy for my evolutionary psychology presentation and how it made me feel like bleurgh after that. Just bleurgh. I walked into class and the first thing I did was show Disha my 'bleurgh' expression and hoped it conveyed how cranky and out-of-sorts I was feeling. I wasn't even as appreciative of the Lange view I had today even though he was right in front of me. That's how much it messed with my day today.
It was just that I couldn't help but compare what I was reading to my oh-so real-life experience. And honestly, I feel a bit torn up. Maybe I am taking this wayyy out of context but you ain't in my head, so buzz off. It made me wonder; how much of who I am and the decisions I made for every which thing was just me or was it influenced by my biology that was shaped by my evolutionary history? No wonder the prof felt that a debrief was in order after the module content was covered. I mean, I know that our biology plays a part, but this subtle and this huge? It's like I am a slave to my baser instincts, if you just strip everything else away. How unnerving.
Anyways, Sunday will be an epic sort of day. School started exactly a month ago, something else ended on that day too, 10th year anniversary of 9/11 and the day I am going to meet up with the Toot.
