in the lab...

So I'm in my psych lab right now..writing in my blog. GTs!! I used to do this as a frosh when I was waiting to be given something to do. lol. I think it's crazy b/c I was in this lab at the start of their major project..doing very very preliminary research and now we are about to distribute our 2nd survey! It's really awesome to see it all happen and be involved in all parts of the process. ok, I'm a dork like that, so sue me. haha.

So I've just been going along my senior year...figuring out my schedule as usual, doing what needs to get done for school, also looking for a job and trying to get spring break together. It's so much nicer now without a standardized test looming over my shoulder. ;) Spring feels good, let me tell ya. So does basketball season: 2 games a week and carolina bball con fuego! I love it. I love school here although I'm done with NC in general. (which was def confirmed yesterday after talking with my fellow shaolinite!)

So my comment for the day: did you know that the name Rex is not short for anything? Wouldn't you think like Rexard or like Rexlin or something. Nope! It's just Rex and it means king. It is Reyes in Spanish. So would you name your kid Rex? I think I would. It's cute. So in looking for the elongated form of this name, I came upon the oxygen network babynamer website. At first, I thought it would be some normal website until I came upon the drawback feature that lists all the names a person with this name could be called. It is awesome! You don't even have to think anymore, you just have to look online. Yoo easy, guys..where is the creativity and wit? Anyhow, it's fun and you see what crazy names people have been called in their lifetime. haha. good stuff! http://tools.oxygen.com/babynamer/
