In which Zana bemoans the fact that she is fit only to be an intellectual

*sob* I do this every week. If Alice Hearst weren't such a flake herself, I swear she'd kill me.

Well. Chapter 10 is read. Chapter 11 may well get done. I'm hoping to convince her to spend another week on Arendt since I still have Chapter 12 and the entire 312 pages of Aikeman in Jerusalem to do, and I'm going to bed before one am, dammit. Why in hell's name did I ever do a special studies? And why did I ask Alice, who has no idea what it's like to be mortal and not be able to read-absorb-regurgitate at a human speed, to be my advisor on this?

*head-wall*

Okay. I'm done now. Off to refuel--one of these days I'm gonna have to learn to study without consuming large amounts of sugar at the same time, but it won't be before I graduate--then write up Ch. 10 and read Ch. 11. Only three days til the weekend. When I'll have to read Barrington Moore and Adorno. Good news is we're halfway through the reading list and I'm not starkers yet.

In other news, Sally's family is coming this weekend! Which means good food and hopefully her sister so we can tease her mercilessly.

Consuming large amounts of cheese (or other protein-rich foods, like hummus) while studying works for me (who also cannot think without refined sugar).
