The only thing keepin’ me smilin’ is this little love muffin, Frances. Call me a cat lady, but the affection you receive from a kitten is therapeutic.

OH SHIT OH SHIT
Yep time for me to let loose again and inform the tumblr public that I, Devin Halpine, made a 99 on my Spanish final. MOTHERFUCKING SCORE. So now it’s time for me to have a real summer. School, I will see you in August.
Paranthropus boisei, or ‘Nutcracker Man’ Really did eat grass. Alternate Link Here.

I really want a replica of this. I think it’s my favorite early human relative.
Dork rambling
I registered for the Fall semester, and I’m pretty convinced that this is the best schedule I’ve had yet. No early morning classes and nothing on Friday either. Fuck yes. I’m taking Intro to Linguistics, Advanced French Grammar, Archaeology, and Spanish II.
That means nothing but foreign language and anthropology studies. I can’t wait.
My apartment is a pig stye, and I do not have the motivation to clean it up. Possibly, just possibly I will take an adderall tomorrow to give me the boost of energy I need to completely sanitize this place. Ooh but adderall makes me feel so shitty, godamnit.There are about 20,000 nats swarming the kitchen, laying eggs in the garbage can. The sad thing is, I’ve become completely accustomed to just shooing them away as if it’s completely normal to be constantly surrounded by flying pests.
On another note, I enjoy spitting between the slits on my balcony. It’s kinda fun wondering if my downstairs neighbor is ever peacefully relaxing on his deck when a few drops of saliva grace his shoulder. I’m sure he would appreciate that.

***************
Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape that existed from roughly one million years to as recently as three-hundred thousand years ago, in what is now China, India, and Vietnam, placing Gigantopithecus in the same time frame and geographical location as several hominid species. The fossil record suggests that the Gigantopithecus blacki species were the largest apes that ever lived, standing up to 3 metres (9.8 ft), and weighing up to 540 kilograms (1,200 lb)…

Apparently, this is where I give myself a pat on the back…. But I got a 92 on my physical anthropology exam. 2nd highest grade in the class out of 350 students. I was sweating during that exam, convinced that I had missed 11 questions out 50. Self doubt always prevails!
