Well the Blogger Symposium is over (well as much as these things can ever truly be over), and so now for an update in my life. I promise that we shall return to our regularly scheduled rants about material girls living in this material world tomorrow. But for now, let's talk about me....
I just finished the Fall term. I know, it seemed like I would never end, and to be honest, near the end there, I just was not sure it would. But it is over, and all in all, I was happy with all but the end bits. The courses were in many ways spot on. I learned tons. I got my ass kicked. And in general, I felt like a proper grad student (poor, sleepy, and prone to randomly get really excited about John Donne).
But even the sweetest academic moments come with the bitter. I am tired of paying library fees...urgg. I am tired of walking 30min to campus everday (I know, I really have no complaint here). More importantly, I am tired of feeling inadequate. In undergrad, if you actually cared, you were a rock star. Here I feel if I have not spent half my life reading the big names in every field of thought then I am just a loser. I realize this is a common feeling, but it is the one part of grad school that I hate. That being said it is also the part of grad school that has made me work my ass off, so I am sure it is beneficial. I just wish for a happy medium.
As for everything else, Toronto is still nice. Freakin' cold though. Seriously. And they don't scrap sidewalks in this city...grrr. But I have not fallen yet thanks to my mad hott ice walking skills that I developed at a young age (because I spent half of second grade falling on my bum everytime it snowed).
Well folks, That's about all I have the energy for today. Tomorrow, I think I might do a post on skin. And sometime this week, we shall be talking about sex as promised last year.

sex yay!
ReplyDeleteooh sex?? Is that going to be a blogger symposium?? Like an blorgyposium?
ReplyDeleteFoolish Pugh... You believe that just because things are the way they are that they are that way for a reason. Follow? Just because things have been done the hard way in the past doesn't mean that it's the best way. Think outside the box...try learning by osmosis or better yet, track down those authors and therorists, kill them, and eat their brains for their precious, precious knowledge. Learning the zombie way.
