i just don't need none of that mad max bullshit!
yay, i'm awake.
pure information is so interesting. it's knowing i have to do something with it that turns me off. synthesis is not my bag. therefore neither is thesis. i prefer in one ear and out the other. when relieved of the pressure of repeating back what i've learned, i generally learn more. the regurgitation of superficial knowledge on a piece of paper for a grade seems like a poor utilization of my time. wouldn't it be better to be making homemade macaroni and cheese while waltzing around the kitchen to bollywood tunes like garam masala with my sweetheart?
i like to learn because i like to learn. all of the articles i have been reading for the last two hours were of interest to me. why can't the buck stop there?
i don't like formulating papers. it doesn't test my knowledge, only my ability to break things down for other people. which i can do when i'm talking. but not when i'm term-papering. papers also attempt to test my ability to think critically. i've known since miller's class that thinking critically is hooey. takes too much energy for what you get out of it. life is so much more comfortable when you're a lazy literalist. i like being a lazy literalist.
i don't like the pressure of coming up with something 'new'. it can't be done. unless you really are on the cutting edge of a research situation. you will not get to that point in two semesters at a less than average university. can we go ahead and face the fact that there's not an original thesis under the face of the sun...and then get over it already?
i intend to cruise out of here by the skin of my teeth. mediocrity, here i come.
and we're done, done, done
with all the fuck, fuck, fuckin' around
mm is stuck.
