the boilerplate tango
That's three weeks in a row that I had amazing titles for my development theory papers. Let's keep the streak alive.
And it took me until today to notice that doing the research for my water scarcity and allocation presentation is just like that Irish Famine Literature class I took during undergrad: I'm always eating/drinking while I'm reading.
This has more to do with the fact that I'm always working on it rather than making a conscious effort (whereas with the famine class, the reading was easy and we would sit and do it during lunch right before class) to be ironic. But I make notes of numbers and glance up, and there's a water bottle on my desk and usually half a cup of coffee ... and it just seems so ridiculously unfair.
I thought it would be years until I said this again, but I really want to get out of here. Thank goodness the countdown is 10 days.
