"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 for my dropping of this class...if I don't have an apartment this summer...Sean...could you use a subletter? Gah, or I just need to start looking into alternative housing.
Fall: Go to japan....or stay here and start my honors thesis...or do both (or is that just insanity (yes, I do believe that would be))...[i also need to get accepted/rejected first].
Other People's (not everyone) Logic: "are you crazy? go to japan! baka!"
My logic: japan will probably always be there (98% sure); honors thesis only comes once.
This is also genius...for those asian who have yet to see it. (and non-asians...whatever that means).
what I wish i could do:
