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.

Final season is off­i­cally on. I’m cur­renlt work­ing at the library. I’ve all but wrapped my Ethno­graphic Meth­ods final paper and I’m start­ing on my Per­spec­tives paper. All that remains after that is Lan­guage and Cul­ture and I don’t expect I will get that final until finals week is over. Gotta love grad school.

By this time next week I’ll hope­fully be home for the holidays.

cur­renlty I’m sit­ting on the floor in Pick Hall wait­ing to meet with my pre­cep­tor. I am alive. But things are intense right now. This week is, in theory, the last week of classes. Next week is in theory finals week… but, Lan­guage in Cul­ture has chosen to vio­late that model. My last class for it is Decem­ber 10th, tech­nially the last day of finals. The final is due the 17th, more than a week after finals are due. Did I men­tion the huge amount of suckage?

Things are going really well oth­er­wise. Drea visted for Thans­giv­ing and even­tu­ally I’ll post some pic­tures of our adventure.

BTW thanks to every­one for the super­mar­ket sug­ges­tions. We ended up stay­ing in Hyde Park at the Co-​op, but one of these days I’ll jour­ney to Trader Joes.
