I did it. I passed my OD. Now, I only need to take one more “quiz” from Honegger and finish the 20 page paper on Medical Language between OE to ME and I will be finished.

quick note:

I am finishing my MA this semester.
Next Thursday at 2:00pm, I will be taking my oral defense. As you remember, I dropped the thesis part to finish since everything that happened with the Hurricane. This means that I have no idea what they are really going to ask me. It could go anywhere. I am preparing for it as best I can.

HEL is going well. Hard to fail a class that I am interested in.

So next Thursday we will know finally if I have the shit.

watch the type word words useless words foreign languages slang code nothing to signify the end holds her breath stop the words and he dies start the end and silence will reign
i want my dancing images to pass the time, dojnt want to see the words play across white screen give me images and sound clips and moving pictures of man raping a woman in a dusty bar, black man beaten by cops, black burning corspe legs curling backwards, flowing faucet blood out of rotten governor head, these are the images to make me forget words because words become useless when a society accepts these when fiction becomes fact no need for special effects truth becomes the greater fiction soon gameshow contestants will kill for money, they already lie, and people call me moraless because I dont believe in a god, can a god allow this would a god allow this, i would hope there is no god than one blind or insane or sadistic enough to allow humans their pleasures, is it ok for a man to fantasize about having sex with girls, should he be lock away, whose authority why not lock up everyone who has thought about killing or maiming or even just slapping another when does it end should it end are we still evolving are have we started regressing we worry about unborn children yet watch are fellow humans starve because food needs to rot in grain silos for farmers to become rich rich who needs riches that has a good name, written on a baptist church which asks for donations every sermon why doesnt god provide for it’s followers

ok maybe not it all, but definitely the Thesis part of my thesis track MA.

I have officially changed to the non-thesis track. Call it chicken, call it laziness, call it lack of motivation, call it I have been doing this for too long for it to matter any more.

I dont want to write the thesis any more. I dont want to write the thesis any more. I dont want to do the independent research and focus for the next few years. I want to stop thinking about it. I want to stop thinking. I want to stop. I want to. I want. I. The past year sucked so much that it actually hurts to think of doing anything similiar this year.

Changes to education:
Thesis down the crapper and flushed several times.
I am taking History of the English Language with Dr Honegger.
I am only taking one course. I have already ordered the book and plan to finish it before the mid term.
I will graduate this semester. Maybe I will publish parts of my thesis maybe I wont. I will definitely be working on publishing the williams paper.
fuck anything else.

Changes to teaching(following in Mary’s footsteps):
I will NOT read the syllabus to my students.
I will NOT be giving a diagnostic essay.
I will begin by teaching. I was having a hard time fitting everything in. Well not anymore.
Time for the college students to start acting like college students and the adults they are suppose to be.
I am teaching english 91 and 92. The students have already taken one or more tests to get into this class, so far be it for me to say that they are in the wrong class. Every year I give this and every year its another report I read and hand back. Its a waste of the day.
I plan to spend the first day discussing the English Language and by asking them questions I can figure out what I need to focus on.

ok thats all the changes.
dont want to get drastic here.

Amanda and I are currently in NY. We had planned to do some sightseeing today, but its raining. It will be clear tomorrow, so today we are going to take it easy.

As my parents repair the damage to their homes, Amanda and I have finally found a place to call home. Ronnie is currently and slowly moving in, and you may be familiar with the old tenants, friends of David. We will try our best to keep the landlord happy while doing some minor repairs to the house.
After sleeping in hotel rooms and other people’s beds for the last month and a half, it is a little odd to finally be in a place that you call your own.
Our own mattress should be arriving any day now. Because of the overwhelming purchases of new mattresses and the lack of drivers, the mattress has been delayed repeatedly. Amanda and I are currently sleeping on a double bed loaned to us by her Aunt, who also loaned us a dinner table, six chairs, and a comfortable round chair (which I dont know what the name is).
Moving in with Ronnie may be the medicine I need. His pragmatic stoicism along with his humor has helped me maintain some composure. Amanda has also pushed me to not succumb to a deep depression. I have to remain strong for her, and she has to for me. I have to stay focused on the thesis, so I dont drift off.

I have posted pictures of the small house, the Chateaux, being repaired.

The insulation is in and the paneling is nearly finished. Time to finish the plumbing. Rob did most of the work. Terry and I just pretended to be productive.

PS Terry was better at pretending.
