It was the least I could do. I always do the least I can do.
This waking-up-in-the-morning thing is absolute CRAP. It was twelve-thirty before I'd eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and could even think about thing one of the to-do list. Fucking five-a.m. bedtimes. Fucking Monday.
Laundry got shunted from the top of the day to the end of it, and the first thing I did was walk down to the Plaza of the Americas to approach the Hare Krishnas about photographing them for anthro. That went swimmingly. It was basically understood that I would be focusing on the head guy, which is fine with me but interesting to note. They come to campus to do lunch at 11:30, so I said I would meet them at their Temple across the street before then, and he said, "9:30?" and I said "sure, whenever is good for you, I just want to make sure I'm not going to be in your way." And then he mentioned that there was worship at 7:30 if I wanted to come and get pictures of that, and I thought, "o_O" but I might do it because it would be interesting, and I probably should, for the purposes of the assignment and the class and actually getting something out of the experience. I have class tomorrow from 11:45-1:40, but I just might not be able to make it. Sorry, LAH professor.
The linguistics advisor confirmed that I would need a mentor in the department to take me on for god-forsaken thesis-writing purposes, and then they would sign me in lickety-split. The list of professors I would think about approaching for this is pretty short, and at this point in the semester I wouldn't think of going to them without having a good idea of what I was doing so I could convince them I wouldn't be an enormous unexpected burden on their time. If I had a good idea of what I was doing, I wouldn't be scrambling right now. What should I write the god-forsaken thesis on? My first instinct would be something with syntax or morphology, because the prof for that is the one I've had for the most classes and I think we get on well. As much as I can get on with any professor from regular classroom interaction. I am not invested so heavily in writing a thesis as I am in graduating with high/highest honors, because I am like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hetrez in wanting very badly to be conspicuously educated. Consumption doesn't do it for me, but knowledge does and titles do, accolades that I'd shove into a drawer and keep in my back pocket, casual and battered, just part of me.
If I don't end up doing the god-forsaken thesis (and time is running out on that, I know. I know), I really should check out the IDH class, even if I don't get signed into it just yet. And I think I might need a second back-up, but what do you add to your schedule three weeks into the semester when you're not particularly interested in doing work for two of the three classes you already have?
