Longing for more... time.
I think I dozed off half of the time we were watching video clips in class because it was Terayama Shuuji stuff. -_-;
Tomorrow, there's a KanTan quiz in Japanese, and a "quiz" in SOC 1, but I swear, it's more like a test. I probably won't do better than a C in the class anyways. It's interesting, but anything more detailed than the overall stuff seems to slip through my brain crevices like rainwater runs along the gutters.
Then, posting due again this weekend, a SOC paper due on Monday, meeting with group on Sunday evening to prepare our last presentation in Theatre class. How busy I'll be.

Religion and Society:
Why Do We Feel That There Should Be More to Life Than Merely Being Alive?
#2. Collective Representation and the Sacred and Profane
Discuss Emile Durkheim's perspective as found in Chapter 7 of his Elementary Forms of the Religious Life how it can be applied to the film "Whale Rider." How can the film be seen to support Durkheim's "religious" theory of society? Your paper should cite at least four of the following sources (citing Durkheim's Chapter 7 from the EFRL is required):
--Emile Durkheim, "Origin of the Idea of the Totemic Principle or Mana"
--Pop Manifesto: A Functionalist View of American Pop Culture
--"Study Guide for Durkheim's EFRL"
--Lecture Summary on "Durkheim and the Soul"
--Life Magazine, "Searching for the Soul"
--Sorokin, “Tentative Considerations on…Love Energy” (hand out)

This morning, I was walking up in the sculpture garden after Japanese class, and it was really nice out. I just kind of took in the surroundings; lots of people sitting on the grass, talking. It just felt like a nice moment.
Where does time go? How am I supposed to do all these things that I'm required to do, but don't seem to have enough time to do?
So, now, it's back to reading more and more, in hopes that I'll do better on this quiz tomorrow. Just for starters. And then I have to do all that other stuff.
School is a life-sapper.
