And the emotional roller coaster continues…

Nothing really happened today – I just continued the internship charade of going to info sessions and pretending to care. I’ll be pretty happy if I get an internship. It’ll be a step up from last year, anyway. I also called my dad and found out that my step-great-grandfather had emergency heart surgery. I can’t say that we’re particularly close, but it’s worrying.

This somber event seems to be going in line with my thoughts recently. We’re supposed to come up with a project for psychology; something relatively simple that we could do and then present in a poster. So I started thinking about death attitudes; if someone is primed to have death on their mind, will they want to have children more so than someone who isn’t? I think that they would. If I am correct, it would seem that the priming would simply be a manifestation of the biological clock; perhaps women in their thirties want to have a child simply because they feel closer to death. But of course, I have no idea.
