About half an hour ago I was so stressed. I got up at 6 this morning to register for classes and it took of ever to get into the site to register (almost 3 hours...) because so many people were registering. The thought of having all my studio classes set back another year was too much for me to handle...
The more I plan for the classes that I need to take the more I wonder what the hell I'm doing...
Anyway, I got into all the classes I wanted, well most of them, and it proved to me once again that I get so unnecessarily anxious sometimes - I am a wiener!
WIENERS!
(By the way, puptastic has some funny pictures of dogs, if you scroll down a bit. Like puppies dressed up as brides.)
I have a 12 page paper to write today (why else would I be posting something if it wasn't just to distract myself...) but it isn't that bad because I got to choose what I wanted to write about, and decided to write on craft, Helene Cixous, and Julia Kristeva, which are all things that I wanted to learn more about... I've found feminist criticism really interesting lately.Like this (NERD!) from Helene Cixous...
Writing is the passageway, the entrance, the exit, the dwelling place of the other in me - the other that I am and am not, that I don't know how to be, but that I feel passing, that makes me live - that tears me apart, distrubs me, changes me, who? - a feminine one, a masculine one, some? - several, some unknown, which is indeed what gives me the desire to know and from which all life soars.
I know it's kinda cheesy, but I like it. All of her writing is fragmented and nice to read. It's a nice change from the boring academic readings that I've been doing lately.
I've drank so much coffee I'm going to pee my pants. BYEBYEBYEBEYBY!

For some reason your post reminded me of how you used to give me your Dal library password so I could get more online journals for my research.
Thanks again.
Your great.
awwwwww. thanks darcy. i always loved running into you at the library. a special treat - although you would always be stuck back in the microfilm room with all the equipment that didn't work. I would have never found you if it wasn't for Mark working there and telling me that you were hiding.
I think you're great too, Darcy, and I'm really excited to hang out with you in the summer in French land.
Kathy,
I studied both those theorists this semester and really liked them! Which theories did you read? Which are your favorites?
micro fish *shudder* how i hated those days!!!!
ha ha
Sarah! You did?
Well, I'm just reading a lot of stuff on my own. Just two readers which just give pieces of their writings - which is actually really good.
Any advice? What are your favorites?
I will be able to talk more about it once I finish my paper and finish this stuff out...but tell tell tell.
i like that bear. and that weiner made me happy. i'm writing a pape, too. g.w.f.hegel. booboo. the french fems are on my list of things to read, too. lucky you. i can't wait for summer.
-were you signing up for summer classes, or next years ones?
we want to talk soon, but as neither of us are too successful, for now these messages will have to do. going to get my loan any day now, hopefully. then will book a flight. and hope to factor in a day or two of montreal with katherine time.
heart,
Jillian
ps- i like how you always apologize for being a nerd, while because of my inarticulacy I find myself apologizing for not being enough of one.
hi jillian!
are you going to be home this weekend? saturday? saturday afternoon? we could make a date and i could call, for realz.
come to montreal for as long as you like! me and mike were htinking of driving to nova scotia and then maybe going through the states a bit. or the states and then nova scotia. cause his dad might be giving him a car for graduation.
i was registering for fall/winter classes. wanna know what i'm taking? fiber structions, textile dyeing (i'm a hippie, didn't i tell you?), photography, digital print media, feminist art history (again...), and arch. and urban. in montreal and other ones i can't remember. i'm excited. i might also take a drawing class this summer. whoopppeee.

katherine,
sweet classes. i'm jealous in return in my own way- to be working with hands and looking at pictures-i often miss that. i am taking classes in germany- german class. maybe it is getting late for making phone-date plans, but, i am home. in bed with hegel. hungover. if you get this message and have time, give me call. i feel like i ate the rocky mountains. no punch line. call. i miss.
hearts,
Jillian
