chili fries and Jacques Lacan
One always imagines the semester ending with a big bang---
but it never does. It always fizzles out.
Tonight alex and i went to this sports bar for dinner, b/c he didn't know that i'm not really fond of eating meat. It was okay though, we ate real shit food and had really great conversations. Alex is sooo great at conversation. That sounds like the worst compliment ever, but he can make the most mundane and dry ideas absolutely exciting. He's really just great. And we got into deconstructing things, as usual, and it occured to me that I really, really am, to the core of me, a culture and communications major. I do it every day. I'm absolutely in love with it. And that's what makes alex so great. Is that he's in love with it too. I feel bad for him though, he has to stay in ithaca to work on his dissertation after everyone goes home for the holidays. He's going to have to spend them alone. I wonder if i'll ever be that dedicated to something, that I would stay behind to finish it instead of going and having fun.
But i guess getting your doctorate is something that I have no comprehension of anyway.
Now I'm off to revise my paper (alex helped) and go to bed. I can't believe I missed saying goodbye to so many people. Life is pretty funny.
