Post no. 61

I have one paper to go and it's on Tuesday. Sociology 102. Think Marx, Durkheim, Weber. I can't wait to be done with it. I really enjoy the content of this subject though. I just wish there was someone more knowledgeable that I could discuss it with. I need a mentor.

But really this subject makes me feel. I think there were a few times in the lectures, it's like I'm so absorbed I forget I'm in a lecture and that there are people sitting next to me. And there were times where I felt so much I just wanted to tell the world things. I have to consciously swallow the vommit of thoughts I'm about to offer the stranger two seats away. It's similar to Jean's 'hug-the-world' feeling. It's like,...you know how it is when you have found something and you just need to tell someone? That feeling.

I like looking and society and social relationships. And eventhough I'm still struggling with trying to sound coherent and comprehensive, I will get there. It's all those years of scientific conditioning. The arts are a new platform to learn. Oh develop already(!), I scold my right brain.

That aside. I'm doing well. Counting down the days to actual summer (it's an uncre* 13 degrees and it;s summer here), non-packeted bak kut teh, and mamak at 3 in the morning. "Boss, milo ais kau kau kau!"

*uncre [ung-ker]- A stress word. To signify intensity. Term coined by Kris and Jean.
