what triggers hunger?

today i woke up very hungry. i thought of that thing people say about how you wake up hungrier if you eat a lot the night before. last night we went to jalapeño heaven and i did eat a lot. then i had two frozen margaritas and a martini... oooh soo good..!! anyway, before leaving the house to go have lunch with ach, i grabbed a whole box of oreos, since my stomach was actually aching of hunger. by the time we got downtown, i had already eaten about six cookies and the discomforting sensation had gone. i mean, i was still hungry but less so. i focused on that thing i was feeling in my stomach and i think i could even feel the dough coating my stomach, easing the hunger. i thought how weird it was to have this sensation and how in 30 minutes, after eating, the feeling would be completely different. how does that happen?

i usually look this kind of things up on the internet... but, as much as it may surprise some people, i don't feel like it right now. it's sunday at 11pm and i still have a lot of work to do for tomorrow. santiago and tea both told me today that I should study during the week and then take sunday off and do absolutely nothing but chill, watch a movie, or something. i don't think i can do it, though.

i dream so much of the next year when i will be taking classes that actually interest me. i don't want to do stupid problem sets ever again. why do some of the top econ programs have these damn comps while others don't? seems totally arbitrary. i hope arbitrariness doesn't screw me...
