Still procrastinating... Updated On: 12/10/08 at 09:56 PM
Yeah, yeah, I got it the first time :-P
I'm in the middle of an existential crisis 'k? I'm preparing to get rid of some old furniture, and I think a part of me is realizing that as much as I hate it and I'm glad all this stuff is being put to good use...there are memories and feelings and such attached to them.
I'm also processing the fact that as February 1st, I'm leaving NYC, and while I know I'll be regularly returning no matter what, my future is officially up in the air. I'm leaving home, and with it, a part of my life, my identity. I hadn't anticipated this at all. I guess I should have.

Oof. That's a lot to try and swallow. Just think, though, how amazing everything is going to be when you get back to NYC! How amazing your quality of life is going to become!
...but what if I don't get a job in NYC? Then I move on to another part of my life. I don't want to leave everyone and my support system, even if I come in whenever I can.

I'm perfectly confident that you'll find a job. I've seen how passionate and understanding you are of your field. There's no way anybody could ignore that sort of background, and combined with what you've been through to get as far as you have? You're as good as hired!
Thank you, Darling DGG. I hope you're right.
It's just so odd right now. I'm just...I'm looking around at my life, and scattered 'round is pieces of me. Some are being let go, some are being preserved. I can't describe it. It's not sorrowful nor melancholic. It just is, which I don't like. I like to KNOW what life is.
You can't. That's part of the exasperating charm of life, Shira.
Now go study.
*sigh*

Go finish your papers, DGG.
BTW: I had a lovely meeting with our favorite Irishman this evening. He loved your gift, DGG.

Oh good! I thought it was lame, but I'm glad it went over well. How is he?
The papers will get done. Relax. I'm half way through the last one.
He's doing well, DGG.
And watch that tone!

He just called me!!! Made my whole night...I've been jumping around ever since!
*watches tone*
He's a brilliant young man, and he gives me hope for the future.

I'm bored. I think all finals should be open book. Who remember the minutiae, and why do the specifics of the Freudian v Piagetian theories MATTER? I mean, really.
*goes back to books*

And does anybody care about Kant and Nietzsche and the similarities of their ideas on the basis of understanding?
Yeah, I thought not.
My psych just got WAY more interesting in comparison, DGG.

I thought it might. And the topic for the paper? My own doing. That's right. I'm doing this to myself.

I swear, this is part of the, um, learning process.

Here, I'll put in an exerpt from my paper so you know I'm not just putzing around:
In this way, Kant tries to explain the theory of “cause:” “...the idea of cause constitutes a delusion which seems to be a human brain child but is just the bastard of imagination sired by experience.” We are applying knowledge of what is to something that may not be. How is it possible to explain a greater, higher being in our own simple, human terms? There is a chance that there is no way at all of explaining the Ultimate Being, should he even exist. We are unable to fathom something so powerful. In fact, if God does exist, it would seem that he purposefully left us without the words or thoughts or ideas necessary to prove or disprove his existence! A smart move...should we become capable of understanding God, we would create our own!
