Leah vs. World -spective update
So I'm having another frustration with academia day. No one, nowadays, writes good History, Philosophy, or Political Science, because none of these can be done effectively without all of them, plus Economics, and everyone has their own stupid subfield. So. Specialization is irrelivancy, and I'm starting to plan for a course major. Plus, I may keep some semblence of sanity. So there's that.
More relevantly, I've been having mini identity crises all day over this whole heteroflexible thing, or more accurately, straight-identified girls who, well, I don't know exactly what they did. But the point is that I'm performatively straighter than them, which is freaking me out. Matt, god that he is, has been looking at me tranquilly all day and asked, "Would you need to be dating two people at once to feel legitimately bi?" I think that what I really need is to go back to Wilmette and be able to look at my life from the outside, because I know that my identity informs my actions, not the other way around. Still. This is rather harder than I thought it would be.
My flight is at one on Thursay, so I'm hoping to finish my last paper by Tuesday and have a day to pack and say goodbye.
