HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

So last night, I was meant to be studying hard-core for the Roman/Hellenic History exam today ( Read more... )

Foucault, eat your heart (read: retrogressive modernist analysis) out! (And don't go anywhere Freudian with it, kthx.)

Seriously, do people find Michel Foucault difficult/confusing? I think he's hilarious. I think he's trying to be hilarious (as opposed to Freud, who is hilarious for completely unconscious reasons). I find him delightful and easy ( Read more... )

Thank you, karma. XD So much for day one of becoming a gym bunny. (No, no. Don't reach for the 12-gauge yet. I promise I'm joking.) Apparently the fitness center was closed in precisely the hours I was able to be there. AHAHAHAHA ( Read more... )

Thank you, Prof. Koelle, for the continental two-cheek smooch. ._. I'd forgotten how much I missed it! It's such a simple, casual, affirming gesture of, "Yo. You're on my team. We're part of the same social structure. And I like you. How are you ( Read more... )

Alright ladies (and gents), who wants to meet me at Erd at 9am to help me unpack? ;D Oh, come on, I know there's SOMEone who'd be willing ( Read more... )

Update on the education situation:

Urgh. Well, so much for quick and easy. Looks like I need to do two years of con ed at Bryn Mawr, then a year of postbac, then I'll be (over)qualified for Ph.D. programs in Classics. Looks like I'll be in the Philly area, then, for at least the next two years ( Read more... )
