Post - Educationalism

I feel unhinged. With all these classes, and all this reading, I'm finding it very hard to get in a groove (as ironic as that is, for the truth is that i'm in a rut! ). What I mean to say, is that despite this constant workload of mine, I feel very uneasy about the whole situation. I won't hear from the Japan program for another month or so, and even if I get accepted, will I go? It all depends...on what I can't be sure yet. 1 of my roommates is graduating this semester; another will try to find alternative housing. That means I'll have to look for housing either in the Summer or next Winter. I don't even want to look ahead more than a year from now, I'm barely getting by with questions such as, "Will I be able to understand this week's chapter of 'The Claim of Reason'?" Last semester one of my classes dealt with the theories of Delueze & Guattari: Lines of flight, continuous movement, choas to home to chaos. I felt at home (as...

This is me This is my desk after 5 days of class Conclusion: I'm going to die But yeah... I may have to drop my class on Seeing Different(ly). The name really says it all too, i was really hoping to see more clearly (muddy). I think I'll just sit in on the class and watch all the awesome movies. And if anyone's ever read Stanley Cavell...well, we need to talk. i.e. you need to help me. Other than that, I've already started phase 1 of "falling off the face of the Earth." No extra-cirriculars (except japanese tutoring, which is really just more school). No friends (except my japanese homies), and no life (except for this blog...haha...*cries*). I have not really thought much of what phase 2 entails. I imagine it will have everything that phase 1 had, except for maybe more evil ducks. They will rule the world after the polar ice caps melt. them, and maybe penguins. Naturally, a great war will come about, the ducks will be vanquished, and peace will be ...

I'm here, but I'm not...so please leave a message for the cat.

I think I've finally finalized my schedule . But now I'm enrolled in 3 upper divs + japanese. Not exactly the work load I had wanted this semester. But meh, I really had nothing better to do than hang out on campus/ in library all day. I'm trying to think what else has happened since my last update. I'm obviously back in Berkeley. And for the people who I never contacted while at home: my bad. I've always been bad at things of that nature (social things). The last 2 weeks at home were better than most of times being back. I watched a LOT of tv while at home (both parents can attest to this). I played a lot of video games (nes, snes), and I even got a nintendo DS to comfort me while away from home (damn you nintendo!). Oh, and I only read about 50% of one (there are...10, as of today) of my school books (I normally manage to read all of my school books at home). So yeah, things are looking to be quite busy for me this semester. And now that I'll no long...

Post-Carnage Update (flood, new years, and family...in no particular order): Well New Years went off without a hitch (except for some errant fireworks...i will continue to blame steve). Long story short, I knocked a box of "missles" into the pool; they proceeded to fly into many directions, often into the direction of friends. my bad. But yeah... Carrie came by and I introduced her to a horse: In any case, things have been pretty slow here. I recently found my NES and SNES in the attic. Man...I can't believe I sold ALL my snes games to freakin' GameStop (young and stupid). I had all the greats! Mario, Yoshi's Island, Final Fantasy 3, Secret of Mana, Zelda, Mario Kart.... GAH! sigh...i'll just have to be happy with Regular Nintendo Mario. Life was so simple back then. At least i have GOLD cart Zelda, mwhahaha.
