school's out for the summer 6:54 a.m. & 25 April 2003
Hi!
In approximately 6-7 hours, I will be on my way home for the next four months, with my mother, my sister and my boy. What could be any better than that?
Not failing my sociology exam for one. I feel like I know enough, though I still seriously question the relevance of this class to anything I will do while teaching. Ah well. almost over. Why am I up so freaking early in the morning?
I still haven't really packed, which is bad because it will have at the most roughly an hour between the end of my exam and my mom getting here; and I still have to make it from the school to the ghetto during that time.
My massage yesterday was quite nice, although apparently I'm tense as a 30 year old businessman, and I can't relax at all. I need to start doing yoga.
Anyone want to know about schooling in the former Soviet Union, Japan or Egypt? I can tell you a little...
I guess the only good thing about being up at 6 is that my body will in theory have more time to wake up and be in an advanced stage of consciousness by 9, right? Right? No?
Still in denial about leaving, I think. But I am really excited for going home, as Mike's taking me to see "Bowling for Columbine" this weekend (at long last). And next week is X2...full of mutanty goodness.
"Most male sociologists are predominantly male..." (sample quote from my soc teacher). You know what's really sad? When I spend more time thinking about the typography of my textbook than about the "information" contained therein. Seriously. This is the worst edited textbook I've ever seen. It's full of typos ("responce") and poor layout decisions, and comes with a few loose pieces of paper because some of the diagrams printed in it are incorrect, so they had to put in replacements. I find it off, because Prentice Hall is a fairly reliable publisher.
