obsession

1. had no classes--love the idea of a four day weekend every weekend! did some homework and caught up on some tv shows and my sleep today.
   
2. during a meeting today for the lab I volunteer in, a senior who started volunteering this semester asked me if I was a graduate student! haha, I said corrected her but felt pretty happy about the mistake. 
3. beautiful weather today; it's just a teaser though since january and february here are the worst months ever weather-wise.

briefly, since it's a friday night, I want to talk about obsessions. I just read an article about how heidi montag from the hills is obsessed with plastic surgery, getting over ten surgeries in one day. this, to me, seems like the dumbest obsession ever. she isn't even trying to be fake a give some dumb reason for it either (which is good); she admits that hollywood pressure has made her want to look perfect, so she keeps spending money on useless surgery. it just got me thinking about obsessions. when I took abnormal psych last semester, we of course covered eating disorders. similar to OCD, people with an ED feel a compulsive need to control their food in some way (and trust me, after doing the research about it, there are so very many ways). anyway, all this talk about obsession makes me question what I'm obsessed with, since I feel like most people in this world have an obsession. maybe it's harry potter? after all, I have read the books and seen the movies countless times. maybe it's with shoes? anyone who has seen my famous shoe tree can attest to the fact that I love shoes and buy them a lot. perhaps I'm obsessed with  my major. I love the field I study and any friend or family member can also verify that. mildly, I'm obsessed with fear. I'm just afraid of a lot of things and try to avoid them (a post yet to come). anyway, we all have our obsessions and I think it's wise to sit back and think about what those obsessions are, and whether or not they are positive or negative. plastic surgery? negative, imo. harry potter? definitely okay with me.
