Sometimes, I sit here, looking at my papers and projects and stuff, and I think that I might actually be able to be a thinker, you know? It doesn't really appeal to me, but occasionally, I can see myself being a prof and publishing papers and all that stuff.

And then I realize I'm sitting in my PJs at 4:30am, listening to a remix of Elvis' A Little Less Conversation, dancing to it in my chair, and I'm pretty sure Habermas and Foucault never had their sociological/philosophical epiphanies while dancing in their chairs, in their PJs, while listening to Elvis at 4:30am.

Well. Foucault might have, actually...

Also, AMAZING NEWS regarding my deadlines:

- 410 (Research Design & Analysis) assigment has been pushed back to Thursday (the day of the exam)
- 410 final project has been pushed back to NEXT MONDAY! <insert more dancing here>

I may get sleep this week and be able to study for Anthro! YAY!

... back to this postmodernity crap. :)

And I'm still doing this stupid paper. Really, I should have started ages ago, but I was sick. I'm still sickish. Whee.

I hope to be done by 10 so I can sleep for two hours before I go to school.

At least I've done a lot of reading and sort of know what I'm trying to say. But it's still going to be a crappy, bullshitty paper. And you know what? I'm okay with that. I AM NOT A PHILOSOPHY MAJOR, thank you very much, so why, oh WHY do I have to study Foucault and Habermas and Kant? Why?!

This post brought to you in part by caffeine, sugar, fatigue, annoyance and the letter B, which is what I do hope I'll get on this thing.

(Er. Sorry that I've spammed your friendslists so much. I post twice in a week and then 23597 times in one night. But it's a paper night. It happens.)

Sigh.

Every so often, I get the feeling that I'm somehow faking my way through my theory courses. Why? Because, for instance, Habermas and Foucault are REALLY NOT THAT EASY TO UNDERSTAND and then I question what the hell I'm doing in school, period, nevermind just sociology, if I can't understand which of the two is a modernist (that's Habermas, and it's taken me ages to figure THAT one out) and which is a postmodernist (that would be Foucault).

My head actually aches from this. I'm going to shower before I get back to work.

Also, I have an odd rash on my foot that JB has somehow claimed responsibility for and PF would undoubtedly think is the flesh-eating disease.

stupid philosophers and sociological theory i hate you all i want to study social theory and yes there is a difference and i'm mildly unhappy that i know the difference and i actually care about the difference and oh god am i really going to do stuff like this for another two years?!
