environmental thriller

Siddarth and I presented our project on globalization today. He made a Powerpoint last night, spur of the moment, so I basically just stood there and talked statistics for five seconds. We should get a good grade on it, though. It's really nice not having that hanging over my head anymore.

Yesterday I went to Dr. Morgan at Piedmont Psychiatric Associates. She diagnosed me as having unipolar depression with melancholic features and gave me Wellbutrin XL. I talked to my dad about it and he says it's up to me whether I want to get therapy or not; I'm on the fence. I've had therapists in the past and they were fun.. I like talking about myself and having people listen. However, it seems like a waste of time unless they're going to do something about some behavioral problems I have. I'll probably try it out for a while, I mean, it'll be summer. Something to do would be nice. I'm really skeptical about the efficacy of this medication, though. I've tried others before with really no improvement. I got into the state of mind that these depressive episodes were caused by people and things rather than some chemical imbalance. While it's nice to think that some miracle drug can fix it, it really seems too ingrained... or maybe that's me being a pessimist.

It seems like forever since I've posted. This past weekend seemed like an eternity but ephemeral all the same. Ephemeral? I'm starting to sound like Zooey Deschanel. Speaking of her, I really want to see the new M. Night Shyamalan movie The Happening. But that doesn't come out until June 13th so we're going to see The Strangers this weekend instead. The latter is your basic, run-of-the-mill horror movie but with Joanna Newsom's music. Did I mention we're going on Sunday? And that I'll have nothing to do all weekend so my extroverted persona is probably going to go into hibernation? Yeah.

I also made cookies.
And if Chuck would come see me ever during the week I would make fudge brownies. But I guess not.
