"Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether
that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. "
-David Copperfield, Charles Dickens
The week has been running well thus far. "Democratic Vistas" provides for interesting discussion. Tuesday went a lot better - the discussion was a lot more even, and it felt like it was more academic rather than griping. "Witness" was interesting for Film as Art...one I'd seen before, but one that (I guess) was worth watching again. "Frankenstein (1931)" proved to be much more comedic than horrific in Film History. I now know more than I ever wanted to about the eating habits of Celtic monks in ancient Ireland.
Yeah, it's been one of those whirlwind weeks.
I keep running into people that I haven't seen since before break. Somehow the discussion always goes along the lines of "where has the time gone?" It's only January and I'm already getting wistful about the whole graduation thing. Oh yeah, still nothing done on grad school apps at this moment. I'm feeling more and more like I may try to do an RD position somewhere and take my RA experience with me. It's a path that I think I'd enjoy, and it would probably help me get in gear to get the Masters.
Random moment...talking to my father in a heated discussion on the phone yesterday, he told me "You talk too much. Just do." Yeah, I agree...that's all I have to say about that.
Right now I'm just really hoping for the weekend to get here. No duty for a change, and plans on Saturday and Sunday. What more could anyone want?
