Procrastination, continued

Hey,

Anna, I'd like to hear more about your short story class. What do you mean when you say you love the way it makes you think? I've been enjoying running too, but it just snowed and got cold(er), so unfortunately I'm going to have to start forcing myself to run on the indoor track or even on the treadmills.

Have you guys read The Turn of the Screw? I have to read that for Lit Theory. How about God's Bits of Wood by Sembene Ousmane? And yes, I'm still doing my thesis on literature as moral philosophy, but I haven't started work on it . . . You know who's not cool? Lacan. I don't know what he's talking about.

Ben, what's up? Still looking for jobs? or is that all settled?

Ben

Procrastination

Hello, I should be working but I am taking a break.  Or I guess it's not really a break if I haven't started yet.  I am in a wonderful short story class and have discovered that I love Fitzgerald, even though he doesn't seem to like women. The class is making me think in a way that I love.  Both about the stories, and my life in general.  It is nice to be in a class that feels like the professor cares about the students. Not just educationally, but wants us to become better people.

So what happened with the thesis? Is it a go?  I feel like I am somewhere between worrying as much as ever about grades and not caring.  Not stressing out as much would be a good thing.  I have only done yoga once, and the teacher yelled at me because I wouldn't take off my socks.  Maybe I should try it though.  It could help me relax.  I have really liked running lately.  Especially in the rain.

I haven't made much headway on To The Lighthouse, but maybe I can read it over fall break.  Now I have to write an essay for my Jewish Lit class.  Hope you are both good!  I love hearing from you and want to see you soon!
