Here's to a lost cause...

To the person who took my ipod in dwinelle on Tuesday (Feb 28th): Please Return it.

Now that I don't have music to listen to while studying, I think I've developed ADD.

It's been a 'meh' week. Japanese has exausted me lately as I try and deal with people who don't belong in our class; kids who waste my time.

And I need to pick an object of criticism to focus on for my seminar thesis. I'm frantically watching movies to try and find something. Know any good animes/movies that you would characterize as a 'comedy of remarriage'? (besides of course, the 1940's movies that gave rise to the genre).

It's late...

    Mom just told me about your ipod... how horrible. I barely listen to mine, but if I didn't have it while working out...I don't think I'd ever want to step foot in the gym. I'd just keel over and die right there on the elliptical machine. You should get your name engraved in the next one, and get a lanyard so you can put it around your neck.

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...
