| Ok. So I haven't updated in forever. I'll give you the superficial summary of my life at this point. I'm working at Goody's. I don't really enjoy the job, but my boss is GREAT, and my co-workers are pretty cool, too. I'm out of school now and so glad not to get homework. Miraculously I got an A in Spanish. I didn't deserve it though, because I missed probably 7 days (in a Mon/Wed class) and rarely turned in my homework. Anyway, I look forward to next semester and even more to graduation in 2 years. Jeremy and I have been going out for about 11 months and are looking forward to getting married.
That's my life in a nutshell at the current moment. That's life on the surface. But I have never been more confused and disturbed and insane in my life. Why is it so hard to just believe and live? Why does everything have to be so complicated and painful? |

| In the words of Marx, I'm experiencing alienation.
In the words of Durkheim, I'm experiencing anomie and egoism.
In the words of Weber, I'm trapped in the iron cage of bureaucracy.
"To pursue a goal which is by definition unattainable is to condemn oneself to a state of perpetual unhappiness." ~Emile Durkheim
And maybe that doesn't make sense to anyone else. But I cannot see any better explanation, nor any solution. |

| I'd rather be sleeping.
I guess school is going well so far. Not too hard, not too hard to get up in the morning-- yet. Work is ok, I suppose, though some things are irritating, some people are irritating. Oh well. I don't have much to say write now. Not much to do either. I hope my car isn't too expensive to fix. But I guess I can't complain because I didn't get in a wreck and die, you know? That could have happened. I appreciate everyone who is giving me a ride to work and school-- and those who would if they could.
I love you all. |
