Pip's Glorious Return to LJ!
Darling loves,
[Hearts!] Hullo sweeties. I'm terribly sorry about the spontaneous unexplained deleting of LJ-life was absolutey crazy and I really reallyneeded to do something to get away from contant self-reflection and I'm sorry that also cut ye all of from my wonderfully glorious and exciting life(?). Anywhoo I am back!
So where to begin, how to sum up a semester...how to sum up a semester...I mean I posted for a while but I haven't a clue how to begin to say how much I've changed? Maybe. I was a crappy student this semester, but I think I'm a better intellictual, pretentous as that might sound. At Smith...at Smith...nobody gives a flying fuck, I guess is what it is really and you've got to be pretty hard edge and there's lots of fighting the system and lots of politics. It's interesting... aah me.
Gracious. Well anyway, I've changed a lot and it was a good experience I suppose, very real? I suppose. I... aurgh. Arugh.
I'm home, at any rate, it's terrifying. Dad's moved out, which is good...but nothing's really chaged. Living alone totally at Smith made me realize how much I need to not be here anymore. My parents can tell too, how utterly independent I am, I guess.
Ummmmmm. Oh, Happy holidays, but of course.
What else what else. Got tons to do this break- get presents for people, make a web-site for the anthropology club, finish up my New York Institute of Photography degree, memorize lines for Machinal, do research, apply for internships... and so on and so forth. Get Visa (going to China, for Beijing Opera with the theater depratment because my life is PURE JOY.)
Ummmmmmmm dating life is utterly completely and totally confusing. The youngest person I'd consider dating right now is 11 years my senior, which isn't that bad I suppose but... blarg. And of course there's always the fact that I've got a little...thing... with a professor. I'm going to help him write a paper about simulacra though, isn't that exciting?!
Anyway, I love you all.
I also love the movie Amadeus, it's really really great, you should all see it.
Ummmm because I'm highly obsessed and dangerously so, I'm going to work on some pet anthropology research now... I really hate college so I'm going to graduate a year early, which means I've got to propose an hours thesis flipping goddamn next semester. Screw that. Ew.
Going to research, mmmmm. woo.
Actually, hm. I guess I'll blather here. It's stuff about Nationalism and Patriotism, of course, I suppose of course, Dr. Wallace's pet work too. Or, life's work. Either way. (He did get his doctorate now, isn't that delightful?! Mmmm. :D DR. WALLACE. Mu ha ha. Wooo.
Or, also, I have to also do research too-- okay. The principal questions we're dealing with are
1.) What is the nature of patriotism? How is patriotism realized? What is patriotism's place in culture?
2.) How are Nationalism and Patriotism seperated as both organized concepts and as abstract set elements within culture?
Yeah. Woo. Kthanxby.
