La Vie En Rose for 2006 April 19

I am so relieved that L. is coming out. I feel like I am France & Britain (ok let's not forget Serbia, Belgium, Italy, Romania and Russia depending on what month it is, the colonies, the Arabs... and those other places), exhausted with my efforts, and he is America coming in on my side. Maybe now we can win the war.

Why can't we have debates on the drawbacks & plus & nature of different kinds of sources, and how this related to everyone's papers... for four hours? Instead of having to sit for over 2 listening to some women jabber on about newspapers and city directories in turn-of-the-century Dallas... which no one, surprise, is doing a paper on? Why do I have to waste my time doing hours of reading that is not only not related to my topic of interest, is not related to paper I am doing and is not related to anything really, except what we are being yacked at about, and some stories we are supposed to discuss but never have time for...? Ok, so I don't but I'm supposed to. I don't think so. I know I am just being selfish. My interests are so different from everyone else's... there will never be a class that will suit one person entirely... I'm sure some felt this frustrated in the seminar last quarter when I was having a ball, so this is only payback time... it is not so unusual for there to be a requirement that it too basic for me to actually need it, but some do... and I know I like the book that everyone else hates, and hate the book that everyone else like. So yeah, I'm being selfish, but I don't care. MEMEMEMEMMEMEEEE. Blah. Luckily this post doesn't make much sense. out it goes anyway. I'm not here to impress anyone.
