Finally done with The Most Annoying History Paper Ever (seriously, Erin, Stephen Wade, Sarah Carlson and I could probably write a book between us on all the things wrong with our term paper assignment for this class). Despite how much I hated writing it, though, doing the research did kind of rekindle my interest in Eastern Europe/going back to ( Read more... )

I had one of the most terrifying experiences as a UC Berkeley Poli Sci major this afternoon (although I've known I had it coming for some time now...). I've already run into some of you and told you the story and don't want to bore people, but I can tell y'all if you want.

And now, for something almost completely different...

( on people who hate songs that bring you to your knees...or, really, i promise, this is not really anywhere near exclusively about in rainbows because i promised not to do an in rainbows post. )

I am strangely excited about reading Paradise Lost again. It's cool to be reading out of the same copy I read in English 45A freshman year. My handwriting's a bit smaller, a bit neater. I notice some of the same things, some new things, look at some old underlining and don't understand why it's there. I flipped ahead to what was my favorite ( Read more... )

I still feel as though I'm not back at 100% mental capacity post-LSATs. We have a history midterm tomorrow, and I feel like I should have absorbed more than I have by this point, considering the number of times I've gone over my notes. I'm really in need of a few low-key days, but clearly, this is not going to happen. In part thanks to midterms ( Read more... )

i have my first thesis seminar in an hour and a half and I'm kind of freaked out. I am trying to remind myself of what Roxy said to me Friday about remembering that I wouldn't be there if I didn't deserve it, and that's sort of helping. I think part of what scares me about it isn't the work of the class, but the size of the class...i know that ( Read more... )

I was going to study last night, but instead Sarah Carlson came over to have me edit one of her papers, and instead of either of us doing work we sat in my kitchen talking about people we went to high school with and gay marriage and backpacking for a few hours, and then it was almost midnight, so almost her birthday, and she wanted me to take a ( Read more... )

-as i've somewhat lost the ability to study/write/otherwise be productive in my house...anyone down for a prolonged FSM/Moffitt camp-out tonight ( Read more... )

Con law will be the death of me. I have done nothing but go to section for con law, go to a review session for con law, and make flashcards/take notes/study for con law for the past five hours, and i will study more after a short break for food and my friends, and i will study during my break tomorrow, and will study instead of paying attention to ( Read more... )
