Mild Weather my ass
Jun. 7th, 2003 08:06 pmFinals week is upon me. And as excited as I am that school is ending (sleeeeeep) finals week is a bitch. In between studying for my psych class and my astronomy one, I have to write essays for 4 questions at 2-3 pgs each for my Brainwashing class.
Have I mentioned how much I dislike Foucault? Really, his writing never clicked for me, and it doesn't help that I can't stand philosophy. Plus the guy can't just make a point and let it go. He'll go on about it. Then he'll go on about it some more. And right when you think he's done and about to move on, he'll make it again and so by the end you're like, Okay, okay, I get it, the individual in the Panopticon is seen but cannot see.
And the theme for the first prompt is Foucault, and although she gives us a choice of 3 different topics, it's like choosing how you want the pain: knives, whips, or electroshock. Well gee, they're all so exciting I just can't decide.
And because I'm moving out on Wednesday, I have to finish it 2 days before it's due. Weeeee
Also, could it be any hotter? 90 degrees? Where are my days of 70/60, where you can go out in a t-shirt but not melt to death? Washington has foiled me again. I stopped by my house on Memorial Weekend and thought about bringing my little rotating fan but it was behind big boxes so I dismissed even needing one: Washington doesn't get that hot. Especially when summer is only beginning....
Mercer is really not meant to take the heat. It's a brick building with itty bitty windows that only allow the bottom fourth to open. My window faces the courtyard which is built out of brick so it absorbs the heat during the day and radiates it at night. To UW, air conditioning is only meant for places where guests visit. Not for us lowly dorm dwellers.
