A busy weekend ahead
I've got so much to do this weekend that I probably won't even drink a beer until sometime next week. Because of grad school (and in particular asswhip 521), I am going to be swamped from now until Thursday. This is what's on my shitty to-do list:
- Read all 599 pages of Call It Sleep by Henry Roth. I've read about 10 pages thus far, and I'm already looking around on Sparknotes. The prof said it was very Joycean--similar to A Portrait of the Artist . . . to me, that means it will suck.
- Write an annotated bibliography that is really not coming together very well. The more I have to think about Edith Wharton, the lower my opinion of her becomes. Yesterday she was a no-talent bitch. Today she's a filthy cunt. I should probably hurry up and finish this or else I'll become obsessed with the idea of digging up her rotted corpse and defecating on and around her remains.
- Re-read King Lear? I think that's what up this week, but I should probably check the syllabus. If I were to bet, this is not going to happen. And the journal entry can wait til Monday night.
- Submit to a conference. I'm currently looking at this one. Sounds like a good time, especially if you like a little dancing in the dark.

Don't forget, we have to read that book for Colloq. Yay!!!
And Call it Sleep isn't bad. I'm on page 120 and going strong.
Dude, you only get to go attend one, MAYBE two conferences a year. Make sure Penn State is someplace you want to go on vacation to. Sure it is a college town with a bunch of hot chicks but is Happy Valley really somewhere you want to spend three days listening to papers on Springsteen?
You must be extremely busy seeing how it has been a whole three days without a new post.
Which Reminds me. I think you need some fun this week. After your class on Thursday we should drink some beer.
