Slowly But Surely

I'm getting there. I never did get through those parts of A Theory of Justice, which isn't good because I need that knowledge in order to read the stuff for next Tuesday. And since I'm a dumb ass and volunteered to do the first presentation in my group for these readings, I have to read it all. It's harder to hide when there are only eight people in a class. But who said I want to hide?

My gender class this week had me worried. I still feel unchallenged by it but I think I have control over it. Plus, having an opportunity to teach the class is nice. I'm looking forward to that. I think I may be doing it in two weeks. I'm a glutton.

I saw my culture professor this afternoon. Her name is Elzbieta. She's Polish. She's cool, except for the fact that she's exhausting in class. She talks fast and is way intense. Two hours of that is a bit much. She was kind of helpful. She left me with more questions regarding my paper for her class. I'm also thinking in terms of my thesis already; I want the work in all of my subsequent classes to have some bearing on the outcome of my work here. There will be no more wasted time. Plus, a year and a half isn't that far away. Damn.

I had some friends over tonight. After that, we went to a Bulgarian bar/dance club (very small) on Broadway and Canal. It was ok. I danced a bit. But I was tired so I came home...only to stay up for three and a half hours. I did some reading, though, so it's justified. It's pouring down snow now, so I'm going to go watch for a bit before I go to sleep.
