second wind or wind bag?
after all the shit i've been through this semester:
1. moving
2. cat injured
3. all money gone
4. losing almost all financial aid via FAFSA because my mom got married to a rich man who isn't paying my bills
5. spraining my ankle
6. getting tendenitis in the other foot because I had to go back to work too early
7. car battery dying, more $$
8. summer trip cancelled
9. getting severe bronchitis
I am not ready to quit!
I am leaving for NCUR today. I'll be in Maryland for 5 days presenting my research paper titled "Neoclassical Economics: A Whiteheadian Critique Toward Activism" in which I argue that Process Though would be an effective way for lower-middle class and working-class individuals, more versed in religious dialogue as opposed to academic jargon, to understand their plight within late capitalism and thus seek effective forms of activism. The school is paying me to go. Seriously. And all my absences are excused. It's a blessing, really.
Since NCUR is tradtionally a time when Hendrix students get paid to get wasted with their professors all over the country, I felt strange about taking a good bit of homework with me. I mean, I do have two tests the day after we get back. But I turned in my big 15 page history research paper for my super hard professor, Dr. Berryman, a few days ago. He gave it back to me a few minutes ago and said, "Lauren, you did an amazing job with this paper." BIG FAT A, MOTHERFUCKER! FUCK YES. VALIDATION.
so i have no qualms now with studying my ass off because i have been remotivated (it's a daily cycle, i swear) to get all As this year.
Schedule for next (FINAL) year:
FALL:
Philosophy Senior Seminar
Globalization and Transnationalism
The Modern Middle East
Introduction to Sculpture
Water Aerobics
Indoor Cycling
SPRING:
American Modernism
Robotics
Printmaking: Etching
Handbuilding
Raquetball
also, this summer i am excited about:
1. only working, no schooling
2. researching for thesis
3. reading for fun, too
4. curing my neurasthenia (remembering I have a body)
5. floating down the buffalo
6. going to memphis/cabin
7. remembering how to socialize
8. calm down
