Dec. 4th, 2007 01:52 pmI have reached the point of feeling entirely stroppy about the idea of picking up and/or reading even one more book about cultural theory.
I tired.
End of term is three lessons and a field trip away. I can last three lessons and a field trip. I'll even like the field trip, we look at pretty pictures.
I have some good books and plenty to read, but right now I'm not feeling thrilled and ooh-shiny about it. More like it's all stuff I've read already said in a slightly different way and/or having an argument with itself.
So hey, I have acquired knowledge - enough that the major debates in cultural theory are now winding me up from boredom rather than baffling from new vocabulary. Call it progress.
... I have until mid January to write the end of term essay. I can do that. No worries. I could even take some weeks of holiday as actual holiday, with no reading in it, unless I want to read.
I get so bored over the huge long holidays and then so... bored isn't the right word, more like overstuffed... even over the relatively short semesters. Like academic rollercoaster. Only without the throwing up.
