Here's To You, Karl Marx

Wow, it's actually been a while since I wrote, but it definitely doesn't feel like it! February and March marched right along, and now we're nearing April. Who would have thought it, really?

Right now my brain is sort of fried.

I'm on a mission today, to write five pages of a ten page paper. For many people, this is a menial task, but I acutally hate writing papers. I'm not sure if any of you knew that about me. I hate it. It doesn't help that it's a critique of French Marxist philsopher Louis Althusser's Ideological State Apparatuses. And then I'm supposed to theorize about the political implications of his model of subjectivity and create my own model. Or something. I have no idea. It's actually amazing that I've written close to three pages already, because I a) don't care about this person at all, b) don't care about this class at all, c) have no idea what he is saying.

Well, I have one up on Mr. Althusser: I didn't strangle / murder my wife and die in a mental institution. But, I might have ended up in one if I had not taken a break from writing. That's what this theory stuff does!!! IT MAKES YOU CRAZY. AND THEN YOU KILL YOUR WIFE.

The people that I have studied this year are not normal. They all like, hang out with each other and die weird deaths together. Ugh.

Luckily, Spring Break is upon us! FOUR MORE DAYS! FOUR MORE DAYS! Then I get to go to UTAH and BOSTON and be cultured and have fun and travel and be awesome all around.

Also luckily, my roommate just called me and is having, a quote, "fashion crisis." Well, I'd rather help her with the fashion crisis than write anymore.

Hopefully I don't strangle anyone on my way to the mall.
