i want to tell my secrets 'cause you're the only one that I know who'll keep them...
Oh, my oft-neglected blog. Can't say we've gotten '06 off to a great start, can we?
It's not that I don't want to write in you, and its not even that I've been lacking the content to do so. The irony of blogging is that when you have the most to blog about, it's usually because you haven't been at your computer very much. That's not to say my life's been filled with noteworthy highlight-reel material, the fact of the matter is that I've largely just been trying to get into the swing of some sort of routine.
On the work front, textbook rush has kept me pretty busy. I didn't even realize I'd put in over thirty-three hours last week until I added all of my shifts up on Friday. It was quite the suprise, they seem to stack up on me when I'm not even really paying attention. This week should be a litlte more mellow though, and then I'll be on some sort of a regular schedule by week three.
School has been a bit of a mess, I haven't really started on any actual work yet - I'm going to make it my goal to start some reading tonight, check into my D.E. class, and research the book I want to read for my fourth-year class. I've got about seven to choose from (as I know there will be no slots left in the No Logo seminar), so I'm leaning towards Klein's new book. That being said, I've still got to actually look into the other choices. Hmm..perhaps I should ask my readership to help me pick? Hopefully, someone across these by now:
Ehrenreich, Barbara (2002) Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
Ehrenreich, Barbara (2005) Bait and Switched: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream
McQuaig, Linda (2001) All You Can Eat: Greed, Lust and the New Capitalism
McQuaig, Linda (2004) It’s the Crude, Dude: War, Big Oil and the Fight for the Planet
Frank, Thomas (2000) One Market Under God: Extreme Capitalism, Market Populism, and the End of Economic Democracy
Frank, Thomas (2005) What’s the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America
Extra-curriculars are just getting under way now. I did up a little review for Guitar Hero that should be running in Wednesday's Cord. I'm also going to try and blab about my favorite discs of the year for the Sputnik while hammering out my radio playlist - the Saturday Evening Shakedown is now the Monday Night Mixup, starting tomorrow at 5:30 P.M. I'm pretty stoked to be on when people are actually in the school, we'll see how it goes.
