Well sorta. Those with a standard 9-5, if such a thing even exists anymore, please don’t take this as a “my life is so hard” posting (that won’t be coming for at least five weeks ;-P).

My first class was at 9.00am and I just wrapped up. It’s been pretty much straight lecture since then. The plus side is that all of the classes have been quite good. And I expect that I will be staying with the one I mentioned earlier. The reading lists are still intimidating, but not as bad as last quarter.

All and all I’m really optimistic. Once things lock down a bit more I’m actually going to post both my schedule and a description of the classes that I’m taking.

quickie… I’m on LI. Much of my vaction has been spent catching up iwht an old friend named sleep. But I did find out that I got an “A” in my Ethnographic Methods course and an “A-” in my Perspectives course. The dreaded Language in Culture is still an “i” and will remain so until I finish my essays.

oy.

Happy holidays all.

Language in Culture, of which I’ve blogged before, finally is over. At least part one of the course. And at least the lecture section. I will be bringing the final home for the holidays (if you will).

Yesterday I turned in my Perspectives final at 5.00pm. From the time I blogged until then was pretty stressful. I went through every known emotion to man and tried like hell to create a few new ones.

Most of that was due to the fact that I hit a roadblock at the 11th hour. Thankfully it cleared around 3.00pm and I was able to write about psychoanalysis in regards to it’s application in the article we were writing about. This was a good thing, as prior to it, I was prepared to kiss my academic life goodbye.

I’ve been thinking about publishing my papers to the site… not sure about that though. At best, they would serve as great material for putting folks to sleep.

five hours and a lot of revisions I’ve been working on this term paper for close to 48 hours straight. I can’t wait to be done. Very very soon.

Eth Meth is in.

Now I’m onto perspectives and that’s due on Thursday at 5.00pm. I’m still in the outline phase. I aheva lot of work to do on this one.

We just got the language and culture finals. I gave them a quick glance, groaned and did my best to ignore their existance. They’re going to be really difficult.
