The German Idealogy has been glaring at me from my bookshelf for a long time now. I know I have to read it, I HAVE to...but I just have no idea when I will have time to. With break focusing on Interpretation of Dreams and Eboo Batel's Acts of Faith....I won't have time then (especially since it's one dense book). And Christmas will be about Andrew.
Last night was Gordon Globes (movie awards show) there was a bunch of really lame ones...but one funny one, "Extracting Wisdom"--a documentary on some kid getting his wisdom teeth removed. the hospital was nice and let them film in there until they started the surgery---showing them stick the needle in the guys arm, and his last words before he entered a drug-induced sleep--"Han Solo." Then the rest of the movie was basically just filming the kid still knocked up on whatever stuff. it was funny, i enjoyed it.
Sometimes i feel like i have so much to learn but i don't have enough time because of some classes....(human behavior and arts in concert are big wastes of time)...it's really hard to force myself to go to human behavior, as it's a social work class and i dropped it. dropping social work was a very freeing feeling. It was so binding...and wasn't what i wanted. i can't wait for my foundations of sociological thought classs. whenever we talk about theorists in class i get really excited. my professor recently said to me, "if you didn't have me as a professor, you probably would never read or appreciate freud" and i agree with that. i really appreciate the way he pushes me. even if i don't get hte grades i want, i would rather have growth in my writing and thinking.
somebody told me the other day that i was "famous on campus" for wearing leopard print. that's funny.
how different i am since i came to college. I'm still quite awkward and i still do my own thing...but i have grown so much. yay for growth. in some ways i have grown oppositely, though. like, i have been happy lately just doing silly things and playing in leaves, doing "childish" things. but that's ok. i am happy, lonely, but happy.
pre-thanksgiving thanksgiving dinner today! i am in charge of baking bread for the event.
next week: drive to nyc, home, philly. i've only driven into manhattan once (i've done brooklyn before) so i'm a little nervous about dropping my friend katie off but it will be fun, i don't have to drive alone!
