So far this not having class, but doing all my work, on MWF, is not going very well. It's 2pm already, and so far I have dealt with Valentine's Day and gone to the gym. Homework? What's that?
However, I must tell you, everyone should be so fortunate as to love their major as much as I do. Granted, Madness to Mental Illness is not actually IN my major, but I think it should apply. The history of psychology is sssooo interesting. So far we've read Is There No Place on Earth for Me, The Bell Jar, Girl, Interrupted, chapters by Foucault, chapters about the movement to asylums, chapters about community care and legal sanctions against the insane in antebellum America, and it's ALL fascinating.
Of course I had read Girl, Interrupted before, but I had forgotten just what an amazing book it is.
"I got better and Daisy didn't and I can't explain why. Maybe I was just flirting with madness the way I flirted with my teachers and my classmates. I wasn't convinced I was crazy, though I feared I was. Some people say that having any concious opinion on the matter is a mark of sanity, but I'm not sure that's true. I still think about it. I'll always have to think about it."
