back at the old LU. I was in the library the other day and I looked out the window next to me. Upon seeing the groups of people going to brunch at downer I got a wave of suffocation. I continue to hate how our existence here is suspended between two or three buildings. I personally live in three: briggs, the library, and greenfire. I now long for the excitement that was always happening at the retirement home across the street in chicago. Though increasingly depressing each time an ambulance pulled up, it was nice to witness other's activities (or deaths i guess) that somehow went on without my awareness and were unrelated to me. that probably didn't make sense. I'll just say the lawrence bubble gets my goat, and leave it at that before any more morose comments come out.
I'm taking three gender studies courses...yeah, about that... Archaeology of gender, Intro, and women and men in x-cult. perspective. They do overlap a bit, but in a good way. Similar themes run through each and being able to apply what I learn in one class immediately in another really helps to reinforce the concepts. Intro is a bit lame, but hey, it's required so no choice there. I'm also overloading with a research tutorial for jenike. He's conducting a pilot study to establish a cultural model of high school student's nutrition habits. I had no idea it would be like another class when I showed up. But I think I can handle it, and research experience is always a bonus.
So as of one week in, I'm really enjoying what I'm studying. There's an insane amount of reading though. Freaking humanity classes. I've somewhat resigned myself to having a lame social life this term. I just hope I can keep myself focused and afloat.
One last comment that is directed to a specific person who if reads this, will know it's for her: don't stalk me, and don't ever email me again.
