How do you breathe?
Jan. 1st, 2005 09:40 pmI just got spam from "Mohammad B. Dunlap." *raised eyebrows*
Christmas was mellow, as usual. God bless my parents for making a tradition out of not going anywhere and being all lazy at home. It beats the hell out of traveling hither and yon.
It has been awesome seeing the few people who are around anymore. Andrea's gone now . . . I need to call David tomorrow. Remington, give me a ring if you see this.
I miss Whitman. I even miss Greek (and how sad is that). I've gotten too used to constant sleep deprivation. Of course, you'd never know it from my behavior here. Why is it that at school I can survive on five hours a night, but the moment I hit Moscow I seem to need a minimum of nine? Huh.
Question: do I want to go to grad school? I'm working on applying for a Bienecke, and more and more I find myself confronting the fact that I don't really know what I want to study. I mean, I know I want to study history, and ancient or early medieval history, but beyond that . . . The Hellenistic, which used to just fascinate me, no longer has quite the same mystique. Right now, I'm really intrigued by the later Roman empire, but maybe that's just a passing fancy, like the Hellenistic turned out to be. I don't think I have the attention span to write an honors thesis at this point. And that's another thing. I need to start thinking about a topic for my thesis. Gar.
Maybe I'll go read more webcomics.
