So I finally heard back from the Summer Program in Switzerland that I am trying to get into. I have to resend my application; so I will be working on revising that today as well as preparing the draft of my conference paper. I think I have enough info to talk about that for 10 mins, which is the length that I am expected to...

There are a number of things going on in my life right now, the most significant, that I need to get this conference paper done, is still pressing. The good thing is that I have a direction right now, and will have a draft by the end of the week; I will be using basic conceptions of Habermass Public Spere, not an in depth analysis,...

So my last lj entry actually inspired some soul to come visit tomorrow. Craig should be her tomorrow shortly after nightfall. Last night Pamela really fucked with me, damn that girl. Today I have spent most of the day avoiding my work, and bathing in my own particular brilliance in bringing together seemingly disparate thoughts. I have basically decided to take it upon myself to...

Having been some time since my last update, I should refer the reader (you) to my last post. You will note that I have obtained some delightful absinth, and have thus not had the time to keep up this journal (between catching up for classes, etc.) The past few days have been interesting to say the least, last night I was way drunk, but had...

It came, new Absinth! I am happy! Figured out that I can walk around with some of it. Erin sent me a great song, gotta love her. Have a bit of a headache, need to work, dont want to ahhh.

Didnt go out last night, stayed in, did reading and played around on-line. I thought of going out, it was Ladies Night at balcony; but frankly I have already become immune to the short skirts and blonde Jessica Simpson clones of Miami. Went to a Students for Kerry meeting yesterday not that impressed, but eh, it was ok. Today I have a shit ton of...

10mins to class, I decided to listen to Internet radio rather than my peers complain about how difficult the reading was. Come on people, this isnt rocket science, hell its not even genetics. Anyway, Eric came down yesterday; we had some spicy garlic wings at Mac & Joes, followed by drinks at Lotti Moons. We ran into Andy Kuss, he joined us for drinks. Sometimes...

Well, I have been readjusting to life in oxford. It has been pretty much what I expected, and I am more or less disappointed in the digressions this place seems to undergo every year. There are serious problems with this place. Interestingly most of them have nothing to do with the institution of the University itself, but rather the self-imposed normalization processes that the undergraduates...

The rumors are true, and many of the students at Miami, even the intelligent ones (i.e., those who get good marks), are rather stupid. I used to condemn the men more than the women, but no more, they are perfect for one another. It is like a costume show, where people walk about as if they are trying to be the photographs in the J....

Another reason I love being at a university: Small Asian women walking out of buildings carrying brains in the rain. Weird. Just Weird. I am slowly settling into academic life again. My classes dont seem tough, but a lot of work. In fact, I am trying to figure out how to network my computer to the printer so that I can print my questions for...
