Help Lori pass his DiffEq final tonight.

How much exercise are you getting ?

The minute and a half it takes me to get from the parking garage to my office.

Sloth and lethargy are your enemies when the black dog bites. Getting the motivation to exercise is difficult when depressed, but the effort is repaid. It's not a cure in itself but it helps.

Congratulations by the way- oh- almost forgot- try good quality chocolate. Just a small bar every couple of days can help too.

I'm pretty sure I ****ed my life up completely by breaking up with my girlfriend and moving into a ****ty room in a ****ty house in a ****ty part of town because my brother has a girlfriend now and his girlfriend has kids and I've been spending some time with the kids and I think I'm changing my mind on this whole not wanting kids things except it's too late and my ex doesn't want to risk going through this breakup thing all over again and she's pretty sure I'm fooling myself into thinking I want kids because I want her back and I can't say I disagree with her about that.

If you hadn't, had married her, and had kids, you would still be asking yourself whether you had ****ed up your life completely because of the decision that you made. I'm not saying that breaking up was necessarily an awesome decision, it may have been a terrible one, but the bigger problem is that you are spending your time telling yourself you made a terrible decision, getting caught in this loop of worrying about things that are past and you can't control, plus not doing the things that you can control that would actually make life better, such as studying for a diffeq final.

Most bad decisions get made because the person making them was paying immense consideration to the next five minutes and essentially no consideration to the next five days, months, or years. Not sure if that applies to you but it is something to think about.

Just my internet crank psychoanalysis two cents.

Also, congratulations on getting into Maryland

What are you planning on studying?

Thanks, but I'm already getting IRL crank psychoanalysis for significantly more than two cents.

Also, congratulations on getting into Maryland

What are you planning on studying?

I'm studying physics. I'll be entering Maryland as something like a junior.

Exactly. You're headed to the university campus. Lots of women there.

I'd recommend going for a CS minor. If you end up deciding not to do grad school (which physics majors kind of have to do if they actually want to go into physics), you'll have enough skills to get a good tech job. And it's just generally useful. A significant number of physics students here at CMU end up going that route.

So did you blow it? I'm not reading through the last many posts to find out. Just answer the question, succinctly if possible. It's a Yes or No question.

I lived in Baltimore for just under one year growing up and it was a crap hole. Thankfully, my parents wised up and moved us all back to San Diego. The only decent things were the crab shacks down by the waterfront and being close enough to visit the monuments in DC. Other than that it was a crime infested ****hole. Definitely not the all white suburbia I was used to up to that point. I do remember really liking "Bogey's" restaurant (themed with Humphrey Bogart pictures) and some Jewish Deli I can't remember the name of but which was really good. I also remember some old Jewish guy arguing with the owner because he served ham on the menu even though it was a Jewish deli. The owner saw it as a necessary evil to attract non-Jewish customers while the angry guy saw it as a sell out to the goy.

Near as I can tell, I passed the final.

Maryland (The University of Maryland, College Park) is nowhere near Baltimore.

This explains so, so much.

Please Ben, list all of the assumptions you can make from that simple statement.

His obsession for San Diego? If when growing up Baltimore is what you see the rest of America as, it would really distort your perception, of both it, most of America and San Diego as utopia.

Given his lack of logic and bizarre imagination, thanks in advance for keeping him busy until 2023.
