Can't escape my brain

I have not posted in a while. Hi blogsphere!

Today was a balmy 65 degrees for most of the day and while it was semi-overcast, it was still delightful.  We opened the dorm window and let some fresh air in. It was wonderful.  This weekend was nice too.  I talked to my good friend for a long time on the phone. It is so nice to catch up with friends.  Plus, it isn't a catching up like this will be our only phone call for the next year. It is a good catching up so we don't become out of touch for long. Then the rest of the weekend I have been bumming around slightly studying Spanish.  Listening to music of course too.  

I feel like this blog is too unproductive.  I don't have anything to address tonight. Or at least not in depth.  I have an idea.  It is that love is only an evolutionary benefit and nothing more.  That it was evolved in humans to keep us alive and reproducing.  Wouldn't that be sad? Love is just to make sure we mate and keep reproducing.  I bet if someone who is in love reads this they will have plenty to counter. I hope they do.  But seriously, what if it is? What if it is just some chemical attraction that sparks certain feelings in our brain and since it has been so successful at getting humans to mate, it has stayed with us in our evolution? Huh. Interesting. 

On that topic, since I do kind of believe in love, I feel like the whole, courtship thing is rather complicated.  I mean, lots of people start it off with physical attraction, but plenty of people are physically attracted to plenty of other people.  So that is kind of weak.  Then, comes the personality.  Which is really what a lot more of where the compatibility should come from.  I just don't think that physical attraction is anything real. Everyone can be physically attracted to a beautiful woman or man. So what? Thats not love in any way.  It is like a million more things.  Ok done ranting about that.

There is this opportunity to study in Egypt over this winter.  I really want to go to Egypt. I would also earn 3 credit hours.  I really want to go to Egypt.  The itinerary looks fantastic. Part of the time we are on a cruise on the Nile.  We would get to see Luxor and study in some prestigious Universities.  I would hate to miss this opportunity.  I just am not made out of money.
