Some of the books I'm using for research use "Mohammedans" interchangeably with "Muslim." I've only seen this in novels and I had no idea the term was actually employed in academia. I'm very tempted to examine this in my term paper, but that would make a fairly wide rabbit trail from discussing Maimonides. As usual, I'm making this task much too hard on myself and I'm trying to make my own analysis of the philosophical texts when my teacher is more concerned with the social situations involved. It'd be helpful if I had an idea what pre-medieval Jewish philosophy was even like, but that's too far, even for me. I don't even like philosophy! What am I doing? I want to go home and sleep for the rest of the week. I do not like this, not at all.
My computer hates me. It worked this morning, but will not boot as of this afternoon. So I am hiding in the Government Publications and waiting for 10pm to come when they'll boot me out. That'll send me back to Odegaard and the fecal keyboards and unwashed masses. And I have to figure out where this summer will take me. UW has left me high and dry in terms of intensive Arabic. If I'm lucky, I may spend the summer in Egypt. But everything must come to pass in the next month or I'm screwed in terms of graduating with both degrees. I'm alright with doing one extra year, but I'll have an absurd amount of credits as it is. I need to stop thinking about that and think more about finishing this stupid assignment. Goddamnit.
