Ladies, Ladies, Ladies
Hi Chicas.
Sonya baby, I feel your pain. I have moved FOUR TIMES in four years. Not because I wanted to but because my bf took advantage of the boom in the housing market - which came to a screeching halt sometime last spring - and moved us in and out of houses like we were running from the law. I finally put my foot down and refused to move my stuff out of a cottage that I have rented on and off for a number of years (we lived there briefly last year while we were in between Russ's projects). So now all my precious furniture, books and nic nacs live in my "studio"- a place where I can escape, meditate, write, keep the telly on all night, and have the dogs on the bed.
Do - I will find out about my thesis prop on Wednesday....consequently, I will either gloomy or elated in class. So what was my process...I think you asked that in a repsonse to the guy in the tire post. Frankly, I had absolutely nuthin' at the beginning of the quarter but my favourite class throughout my grad process was rhetorical theory. In particular I was fascinated by 20th century rhetoric. For my final paper I wrote a bibliographic essay on the theories of Jurgen Habermas and how they have been appropriated by compositionists. So, while I had kinda skirted around the idea of Nietzsche and rhetoric for my thesis, I ended up going with Habermas. However, my interest in Nietzsche was not put aside as I started reading, (suggestion from Dr R) about the debate between Habermas and Foucault (Foucault...big Nietzsche fan) and how compostionists use of Habermas seemed to fall short in some way --according to a paper Dr R wrote while in her doctoral programme.
To cut a long story short, I pulled that thesis propsal out of my $%^&! I didnt even have 1 paragraph at the midterm and I was freakin' out because I was DETERMINED to get going on this thing (and have been feeling a sense of urgency lately). So, if it doesn't get approved this time. I wont be too blue because it was all rather a rush. HANG ON! WHO AM I KIDDING! I'll be utterly disconsolate (sp???) *deep breathe fred*
Well anyway, better do some arcade stuff. How are yours going?
See ya this week
