I've just finished reading Azar Nafisi's memoir, "Reading Lolita in Tehran." While it definitely wasn't my kind of book, and I never would have read it if there was something more tantalizing, I enjoyed the end. Maybe "end" isn't the right word; culmination, then; the last pages, where she draws together the desperate casualness of her departure

i like how i started you on this shit. don't become an addict. since you're a writer, it's probably too late. anyway, you sounds like an intellectual stuck in high school. even though ihs is all you know, you have got to stop dwelling...btw, what are you going to do next semester? i miss the holidays too.

Not too sure if you started me on it- my mom was the one that brought the book to China. But, yeah.
As to next semester (the spring 2005), I will be waiting for responses to my apps and working a job. YAY! A job!! Of course, I want to work at Borders (I already sent in my app for THAT), but I doubt those jerks will even respond. Otherwise, I'll probably apply to Greenapple and the SPCA. The SPCA undoubtlably won't be a paying job, but I like the idea of working there. It'll be a lot easier to convince my parents to get a new cat if I work there. (As you know, we're down to two.)
Missing the Holidays has taken on new meaning for me: the McD's close to the campus has decorated for Christmas! The staff have been working constantly for, like, three days; making Santa montages over the usual art, playing Christmas music (!), putting up fake brickwork on the outside and making the risers of the steps look like red carpet, the register staff wear Santa hats, and by now they've probably put up lights.
