Guess whose project presentation won the most innovative award for evolutionary psych? Oh yeah, with a certificate and chocolates and photo-taking and all. Pretty decent end to the module I must say. Not at all like the usual ones where it feels like an abrupt halt that you didn't see coming. The weather is absolutely miserable for doing anything and venturing outside is like taking a second shower. But it was perfect for my big cup of coffee and the final episode of Sherlock. Still gaga over the man. So utterly sublime on digital celluloid.
I am so bored with my current wardrobe and I have been trawling around on ebay quite a bit the last couple of days. More importantly, I ended up getting a couple of things. Now I just need a reason to take them out on a spin. I am actually not looking forward to the end of the year. Too goddamn fast. Too fast. Things are gonna look a whole lot different when I am on the other side of the year. There are always good and bad parts to everything and nothing is truly that bad. But, ohman, I need to my brain to catch up in maturity soon. I honestly do. Tell me I am not the only adult who feels a bit like a fraud? Going around calling myself an adult when I don't even feel like one? That title is reserved for my parents' generation.
Plus, I don't get why the UN sees the need to celebrate the 7 billionth person born in the world. Somehow the human race has managed to procreate to the extent that within 12 years we've just crossed the next billionth threshold. Hello? Scarce resources, pollution, environmental degradation? And reading about the techniques used by a few countries in the past to control population growth was sorta disturbing. It's like I don't even have to read a dystopian novel to get a sense of what happens when society breaks down - I just have to open a history book. Scary shit, right there. And the civility that we think makes us humans is just a thin veneer, so vulnerable to attack.
Can you imagine how easily things can disintegrate?
