I'm really not that drunk...


Last nigth I went out with some dear old friends. Not just old friends, but Old, old friends. No seriously, they're all either married, have extreme facial hair (Evan now looks like Captain Ahab), or work 40 hour weeks (inconceivable!). But yes, we met at our traditional Round Table Pizza, in the mall (I'm starting to wonder if that was a good tradition to start). It took 20 minutes to find parking. I didn't even know there were enough cars to fill our parking lot.

After reminissing over how old we were, we went and bought beer (thank you Sean), and went back to Danny's for the traditional: movies, chips, poker (+ beer). Other than that, I don't really remember what happened. Kidding! I only had 3 beers over the course of a few hours. Although everyone else will tell you my brain was on vacation. I will rebut that now and say it was not.

Coincidently, I lost horribly at poker. I blame the chips. The tortilla chips.

But all is well now. It's too close to Christmas for me to just come out and say I'm really bored. I'm really enjoying next semeter's reading list. And by that I mean I'm doing homework.

Agh....but I've yet to finish my Japan study-abroad application. My passport is somewhere in the mail on it's way here. And my letter of rec is somewhere in the mail on it's way to berkeley (hopefully). And I'm almost done with my Letter of Intent. Why can't i just fill out something like...one of those scantron sheets. Just fill in 10 bubbles and that's it? *sigh*

Anyways. . . maybe i'll start working out again. I could use an ab & back class.

Hmm.... I'm considering applying for the Honors Thesis program. It's a year long (2 semester) program for seniors. It's basically just another class in one's schedule, except you meet with your faculty advisor (of whom you choose), read a lot, and write a lot. Requirements: 3.7 major gpa, 3.5 career gpa and all pre-requisites finished. Surprisingly, I'm elligible. (I just have to *stay* elligible at this point). However, this would mean foregoing Japan. I won't know about my Japan app for a while, but the more I bury myself in the work of two highly esteemed professors, the more I'd like to attempt an honors thesis with either of them. (And, i'd be done with my major, giving me the time to devote to such a feat). If I don't get into the Japanese Program (40-50% chance) I will definitely apply for the Honors. Other than that, I'm trying to adjust to 6 hour class days, and the 3 hours of reading that follows class. Thank god I have monday and...

why can't I be complacent?

"Skepticism about our knowledge of others is typically accompanied by complaceny about our knowledge of ourselves." - Stanley Cavell My latest little aphorism from my gem of a book: The Claim of Reason . However, my problem now is that I'm devoting too much time to this class to keep up with my analysis of 19th century America. Don't get me wrong, I love this stuff. Culture/Politics/Rhetoric...all the things that make people awesome or terrible. But again, when I find myself gerimandering the hours of my days into a very unbalanced map composed of "reading...reading....reading....reading...reading. eat. reading....reading...", I do at times think to myself: life is too short My point: I want (need) to drop Rhetoric of the Guilded Age. The only sad part I can think of...I will still probably attend many of the lectures. Given all these turns of events, I've been uselessly planning my future: Summer : take one rhetoric class (Only one!) to make up fo...
