Today was the first day in (probably) close to a year that I've had time to work on my dissertation.
I've written seven pages, and I'm pretty sure they all suck. I'm going to turn them in to my co-advisors for comments anyway. Everyone starts somewhere.
I'm wanting to get about six books to read specifically for the dissertation. However, because I am a dumb-ass, my library account at Kent State is fucked up beyond recognition. I owe the library like $62 in late fines, which is money I don't have right now. I hear rumors that I can have that balance transferred to my university account, but haven't figured out how to do that. With this debt, I can't get these books, which aren't avialable at the local library (which is okay, since I owe them about $45, also late fines, as well).
I could buy them, but then... isn't that more expensive than paying the fines and getting unlimited borrowing privileges from Kent's library and the 30-some-odd other college libraries in Ohio?
I'm going to have to leave for gender class soon. I'm not terribly thrilled about it because I'm not in the mood for a lecture today. There are a couple of reasons that gender is preferable to aging. Gender tends to be less depressing and less existential than aging. When I get out of aging class each day, I'm ready to close the window blinds and listen to Portishead.
But that's a minor concern. The other is this annoying girl that thinks she knows everything. She works in a nursing home and she constantly interrupts lectures for some sort of personal story.
SHUT UP!!!
I had been giving her benefit of the doubt because she looks and talks a lot like Brenda from Six Feet Under. I mean, that goes a long way. But... a few days last week she wasn't there, and the class was far superior. Now that she's back, I hate her as much as Jen (my colleague in the class) does.
Either way, I'm not going there, I'm going to gender... which... meh.

there is a group on facebook especially for the type of girl you speak of in your class. I just joined it, but can't remember the name, but it's something like "put your fucking hand down . . . "
