1. I’m finally done with classes and papers for the semester! I had a very heavy workload, but I got it done!
2. Last
weekend, I went to Folly Beach/Charleston for a bachelorette weekend for one of
my oldest and best friends. I had a wonderful time, and while my final papers
may have suffered a bit for it, I think it was worth it.
3. One of my
papers was on Russian Christian existentialist Nicolai Berdyaev. I’ve really gotten into his writings (and
almost understand some of it). I need to get my summer reading list together.
4. Another
reading assignment for summer is to look through some scholarly articles and
find some ideas for a thesis. I’d like to have a good direction on a topic when
I start classes in the fall.
5. With
papers done, I have time to get into a few new shows I’ve discovered. The first
is Moone Boy. It’s about a boy growing up in western Ireland in the early 1990s.
Chris O’Dowd wrote it, and he also plays the boy’s imaginary friend.
6. The other
show I’ve really gotten into is A Young Doctor’s Notebook. Daniel Radcliffe
plays the young doctor in outer Russia in 1917. Jon Hamm plays the older
version of the doctor in 1934 who sometimes talks to his younger self. Clearly
I have a thing for comedies where the main character talks to an imaginary,
older version of himself. I wonder if Netflix has a category for that yet.
7. Finally,
it’s starting to feel like summer here, which means I try to avoid going out
between 11 and 4. But on a positive note, I’ve realized I am a morning person,
as long as the sun is up. I don’t mind getting up at 5:30 or 6 as long as there
is some daylight. It’s too bad that the sun isn’t up that early during most of
the school year.
