home?

Oye. I thought things would slow down after graduation. Well, things were pretty slow those 2 weeks after I graduated, while I listened to music, read books, and ate delicious soups while I waited for my lease to run out.

But then I made the arduous journey home. Home, where I now own too much to comfortably live. Where spiders keep crawling out from under my bed, or occasionally sending down assassins from the ceiling. Where no matter how many 'home improvements' I undertake, 4 more crop up with each completion. Where all my friends decided not to be here for the summer (points at you, Meagan!). And I'm back to explaining to everyone what on earth "rhetoric" is.

Well, at least the Republican Debates are providing ample entertainment. Though the unreal reality of it all may be adding to my general edginess lately. I hope they get Adam Sandler for the next one, that would make it better.

    I'll be sure to provide some stimulating conversation and perhaps a game of scrabble while I'm in town. June 15th.

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...
