Done!

So a mere four weeks since I last posted I have managed to finish an entire term at Smith. It's been one of the most insane, intense, complicated, fun, and emotional experiences that I've had for a while. In the two years that I worked for Adrienne/the Coop life stayed pretty much on an even keel. Granted, there were the fun customers telling me to

Yay! Congratulations.

Wow. That sounds *really* intense.

Freud is... weird. But I know what you mean about a whole new way of looking at the world that you can't shut up about... it's just really exciting, like you've suddenly developed a whole new sense, and you just want to use it and use it and share it. This is why learning rocks.

Yay break! I'm hoping for the fantastic time for you, personally. But if it reaches the kill-eachother stage, just go away and take a walk and think about how you would handle it if it were other people you were with professionally. :D

It is really intense. In part, I think, because not only is doing a year's worth of work in ten weeks and when everyone is away from their support systems difficult but the topics themselves bring up all kind of different stuff. It's not like we're studying physics, we're studying the how people work and we are, I hope, still people so we tend to do a lot of analysis on ourselves.

And yeah, Freud=odd. This program used to spend a lot more time on him than now so I should be grateful.

Why am I not surprised?

Also, Freud is...different. I was reading an article somewhere a few months ago about the difference between American and Continental analysis - the main distinction being that Americans actually took him *seriously*. The Ideas section of the Globe, maybe? Or Arts&Letters Daily? I don't remember, and I'm feeling too lazy to go find the citation.
