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...

Summing the Year Up

My contribution to the annual, office newsletter, cross-posted from my financial/work interpretation-of-the-world blog : Ordinary Lang uage Finance . Even in America, the land of the second chance, and of transcendentalist redeemers, the paradox inevitably arises: you cannot change the world (for example, a state of marriage [or conversely: an economy]) until the people in it change, and the people cannot change until the world changes. - Stanley Cavell I hadn't seen this passage since the middle-years of college (if you remember those days too, it was a different time back then--long before I personally came to an inkling's understanding of the power of tragedy, and the subsequent flow of change). During those shattering years, I questioned the purpose of many practices and sites of genius. I wondered why so many studied the tragic Greek plays, the tragic writings of Kafka, or the tragic films; I wondered why people didn't focus solely on the works of those who burned br...
