Animus
I sleep until noon on Tuesdays with a nap sneaked in the late afternoon. Spring 07 has been pretty hectic so far, with school and 18 hour work weeks. Wonderful friends and dancing with my darling are some of the few things making things more bearable. Hardly any None of my classes are interesting to me and are basic requirements that I need to get out of the way. I'm just praying I escape with good grades. I need to take a note from Theo and ignore my school readings and enrich myself with the books that I want to read.
I've recently come to a realization that my college career has been less than the spectacular, mind-opening experience that it could be-- mostly due to general education requirement classes and full classes. Another factor is work; I keep trying to arrange a schedule that will give me a day off from work and school, rather than taking the classes that I truly want. Hopefully being a junior will give me enough of an edge to get into some of the classes that I would enjoy. For the most part, I would like to take history and comparative literature classes. I'd like to take the Nabokov Between Two Worlds class, the Decadence and Surrealism in French Literature class, and the History of Berlin class, ideally. I don't know if they would be offered in the Fall, but I'm sure there are equally interesting classes offered. If none are available, I'd like to take a basic Classics course. I'm also really thinking about taking Fundamentals of Ballet, just for fun-- to get some exercise, fix my pathetic posture, and add something when I dance tango.
On another note, despite what most people think, I regularly read everyone's livejournals, even though I never update my own, or comment on others. I really need to "clean up" my friend's list, though. I'm also considering just making an entirely new lj. What does everyone think?
Right now I'm downloading more Beta Band (<3), trying out some Juana Molina and Serena Maneesh, finally getting some Erik Satie (<3 x a bajillion), and wondering if it's worth it to get some JT. I also really need to finish reading Les Miserables. I finished 1000 pages in two weeks and now that school started, I have read 100 in a month. Terrible. I need to get back Lolita from my aunt, get some Sartre, and begin Kerouac.
And now, it's time for me to catch up on the latest Heroes episode.
