I suppose I should update this thing, especially with the new semester.

So, this is the first semester since I started undergrad that I'm not taking any classes. Instead, I'm teaching them. Tulane's philosophy department handed me a section of Buddhism, which was full two or three weeks ago. In addition, I picked up a section of Intro to Logic at Dillard University, a small...

've been reading Promethea, The Invisibles, and Illuminatus. This has led to a somewhat skewed vision of reality, which, despite all rational logic, I prefer. God is a crazy woman.

So, in the new Who Wants to be a Superhero show, I'm rooting for Basura. Her tits are the most super.

I sent off a draft of one qualifying paper, and now I have to...

Tonight, after putting some research to rest, I decided to get a pizza, smoke a bowl, and watch the Futurama marathon on adult swim. I ordered the pizza at 9:30, set out the herbals, tuned the tv to cartoon network, and walked out to pick up the pizza from Cafe Roma. As i'm coming out, I see a group of people from the department gathering...

Guh.

It just sucks that, as a "contributing member of society" who just happens to be living below the poverty line, I'm totally screwed.

As my absence on the internet may have indicated, we finally managed to get in touch with the girl-person. Basically, the same day as my last post. As Tara thought, the girl was thinking we were coming into town next week, not this week, so she was understandably frazzled. However, after a slightly rocky adjustment period, I think the whole thing went rather well.

We...

One more birthday under my belt. All birthday wishes are much appreciated. Thanks, guys.

We went out to dinner with my mum and a friend of hers. They didn't like Indian food, but I did, and that's all that matters.

Classes are all done, and I'm finally feeling less wiped out. I've still got a bunch of things to do for myself, but nothing class-related...

Ahh..no worries my brotha...theres nothing wrong with attaining higher education ...its what we do with it and how it affects everyone else that really matters...
I miss Uni...ive been urged by my former chef instructors to return and get my teaching credentials so i can teach culinary arts in the same institution i came from.
Honestly id rather start a program teaching the urban/low income /underpriveledged/ single parent/ and pregnant teens how to cook so that they and their children will not go hungry.
i just dont know where to start with it...maybe i'll do some grant research..

Dude, OF COURSE.

I finished the last of everything I had to do for school today. I polished off the paper I started yesterday and gave it as much revision as I think it needs. I also did the revisions on the Hobbes paper so I can turn it in on Tuesday, as I wanted. Presentation notes for tomorrow night's presentation are also done, so I know what...

Finally, class is almost over. I have to write one more paper over this weekend and give a presentation on Monday. After that, done. I might get cheeky and revise my Hobbes paper before Tuesday so I can turn it in during the last class.

Not really much else to say. I'm looking forward to getting out of town, and this city is still getting...

So, at this point, I've mostly finished the long papers I need to write. I need to start on the short papers this weekend. Within about two weeks, I should have absolutely everything done. In three, we'll be in leaving to spend a week in LA with someone truly wonderful.

I'm looking forward to the summer as well right now. I'll get to start working...

I desperately need to finish my paper for Ancient Art History. It's devastating.
chaostasis:
Yes, definitely. I wish that we could just say everything we wanted and never take any of it back.

It's an ancient art history paper. i'm excited about it... on women and cave paintings. I just feel like my arguement isn't strong enough. I'm sure it reads better than I think it does though, that's usually the case.

I'm off to see grindhouse! yay!

Today, I made a time sacrifice to Greyface and did my taxes (gasp). For the record, I rarely do my taxes because I've never mad enough to be required to file. Before you tell me that I should file so that I can get a refund, for the last several years, I've worked for public universities, making me a state employee who didn't have any...

ahh taxes. i'm excited to get my refund. i hope it's a worthwhile amount.

It makes my skin crawl too.



Anyway, I'll be continuing on with Spanish language literature; my speciality is modern Latin American fantastic fiction. It's delish.

I came back from my Hobbes class today, not feeling too hot. I relaxed a bit and chatted with Tara, then sat down to work on the Hobbes paper I started over the weekend. Just to review, the best part about this paper will be finishing it. So far, it's the last thing I have to do, but it's also the thing I want to...

Finishing papers feels great, doesn't it?
Re: I'm so excited about getting out of this place.
I need a change of surroundings, not just people.
And i always try to friend people who i could possibly have good conversations with.
Intelligent anarchists seem few and far between sometimes.

Re: Yes, I'm excited about grad school for that reason. Though, I'm going into African History so I doubt there's as much room for discussion of anarchy outside of factual occurances.
