quiescence

Lots of clubbing madness...I mean schoolwork...Yeah, schoolwork.
Hundreds of pages of reading, all the time, endlessly. The sick thing is I love it (less so on Tuesdays, when I have class for 6 hours straight...). I'm not fully enamored of Hayden White. Not enamored at all, truth be told.
Or was that just Ironic emplotment?
You'll never know.

I got out to Ceremony last night,...

I'm not sure what it says about me, but last night when I read, "The late E. H. Carr, in his widely read, resolutely trivial What is History?..." (in Gay, Freud for Historians. Oxford University Press: Oxford, 1985.) I amost did a spit take with my drambuie. I think it says that I'm a grad student, spend too much time reading, and have already started...

I require more chocolate milk, And ice cream...yes, bring me...ice cream *steeples fingers*

So lets see, today I had class, did reading, fainted out of nowhere horribly bruising my ribs, twisting my shoulder out of socket and playing pinball with all the things in my bathroom, and went out clubbing.
Wow, pretty eventful.
Can I state how very much I love having low blood pressure? Pretty please? (If I were smart I'd simply find someone to shoot my...

So french class for 3 hours today. Medieval Christian Spirituality for only an hour. Tomorrow I get the lovely opportunity to have class for 6 hours straight from 12:30 until 6:30...the last 4 hours of which is theory/methodology proseminar. Yeah, that'll be thrilling, let me tell you.
Afterwards I'm going to happy hour with the rest of the history grad students, which I'm looking forward...

So I spent today doing virtually nothing until ozymandias came out. We grabbed dinner at a sweet Thai restuarant and then caught the Keyhole Cuties burlesque/variety performance at the Paradise. It was great (though we found out it's a shaky plan to order drinks with more than 2 ingredients in them) and it was a fun show. We laughed, we yelled, and hell, I even...

Academically speaking, I am proud of myself, whereas socially I am apalled.
I spent all day today studying. I did my work for Monday, my work for Tuesday...hell, I even did some work for my Friday class. This is great as I am typically a bit disorganized and very prone to procrastination. It was also rather a lot of work. How lucky I am to...

My hair is a very vivid blue curacao blue. I cannot deal with reading psychohistorical methodology anymore at the moment. I have abso-fucking-lutely NO ONE to do anything with and I'm a bit poor right now.
I can virtually assure you that I'll be rather drunk and online again by 11 or so tonight...
Partay.

Back!

My hearty thanks to Ozymandias for a very warm welcome to Boston. He's a cool guy that everyone should go say hi to.

Life at BU is good so far, and now much better that I can get back online.

The move went off smoothly today. I get to spend the next few days finishing putting things in drawers, on walls, and out of the way. The place should be livably swank by Wednesday, which is the start of grad school super-class extra homework insanity.
Sadly, however, I won't immediately have internet access (I may be able to swing it by the end of the...
