...I haven't been on in a while. I've just been so busy. I had my first day of Sociology yesterday and it is the most bad out class, ever! I enjoy it a lot. It's easy to comprehend and my professor is very informative and keeps the class moving. I hate it when instructors giving an example trails off in to god-only-knows what topic. It drives me crazy and makes my notes look terrible. By the way, it's so much easier to take notes on a lap top! I practically die when I have to flow by hand but using the computer makes it so much easier! By the end of the session, I basically have down everything she said that needed to be written! It's fan-freaking-tastic.

So, I've come up with a way to get through In Cold Blood. Clearly, I don't have the ability to just read it, so I set a schedule for me. I read fifty pages a day and I have it on a white board in my room. And then when I'm done with those fifty pages I'll cross them off of the board. Crossing things off is so much more gratifying that erasing it, I dont' know why, but I enjoy the confidence I get when I look at that board and see the pages of the evil book crossed off. It's very pleasant, you have no idea!

Okay, so, as I was sitting in my sociology class yesterday, we were talking about Emile Durkheim's suicide study and how he said that men, single people, wealthy people, and proetstants are all at a high risk for suicide because of their lack of social connections and their alienation and isolation. Of course, the verrrry first thing that jumped into my head after hearing this was MRS. DALLOWAY! Septimus Smith kills himself because of his not being connected, or something like that, if I remember correctly, and I immediately went back to that lecture in my english class about it. Anyways, I thought that was interesting, especially since the study was done before the writing of the book. For all of you Woolf fanatics, if you find it totally irrelevant and have any negative comments about that, please be gentle because I felt so cool that I thought of that...well, maybe cool isn't the word to describe it.......hmm. lol.

Oh well, I have to read Truman Capote and Do some more studying. Peace, love, and chocolate covered frogs to you all!!!
