I haven’t posted much due to the excessive amount of HW I have, mostly due to me having to catch up on reading and reviewing because I’m terrible at all things Chemistry & Math.
Let’s see, what else is going on?
- Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy is in the mail and on the way to my house. Yeessssss! I can’t wait to read this.
- I work too much. (Studies show that students who work more than 20 hrs a week don’t maintain a 4.0 GPA. I don’t have a 4.0 anyway but my point is - being poor sucks.)
- I’m having an existential crisis (this is a regular occurrence, no worries) about my future, what I want to do, what I CAN do, and I constantly recognize that practical or pragmatic choices will definitely collide with my ideology or worldview and this is causing cognitive dissonance that I can’t resolve.
- Clinton’s speech > Obama’s. Obama’s felt flat and like “dude, we’ve heard this before.” Also, the pall of drone strikes on children really sort of…puts things into perspective. (derealization moment) Also, the crowd seemed hesitant (though they still did to some extent) to applaud certain talking points because maybe they are smarter and more informed then the RNC crowd. (We need to form a new progressive Free Soil Party and chaaaaange the world!)
- My dog rules, the new Circa Survive is bangin’, and I’m glad I have a class with my buddy.
keep looking up.
