finally....motion

Dear Applicant:

You've been selected as an alternate (not a real boy) EAP in Japan at Meiji Gakuin University Fall 2006. Our campus did not have as many guaranteed spaces as applicants, so some students were designated as alternates (failures). Your chance for eventual placement (is abysmal) depends on selected students' withdrawal.

Meh...I didn't want to go anyway! All those crazy cos-players, hentai-hito, and kireinaonna! (if you didn't understand all that, you don't want to). But...This is where I where I need to start moving again.

Being on campus from 8-5 isn't so bad anymore. Do some yoga, do some japanese, get some breakfast, read for a bit, homework, office hours, snack, computer lab, more class. I suppose the point of all this would be so that I could go home and relax; well, i haven't gotten to that point yet. One day.

Hmm...3 day weekend coming up. I want to: go home. I need to: work. sigh.

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...

The Start of Summer

And the start of many goals: #1: Hike all 150 miles of the Lassen National Park trails (and log all the geocaches!) #2: Finish CLU certification (even if it means bringing textbooks hiking) #3: Perfect baking skills #4: Be the board
