So I don't know why I bother with these stupid blogs, but I've decided to start over anew. Maybe it's helpful to write my thoughts down.
I just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthey. The book was a Pulitzer Prize winning novel and I can see why now. It is basically an extremely sad story of a father and son wandering through America in a post-apocalyptic world. The story made me cry near the end for reasons you'll understand if you read the book. Basically, you feel like you want to cry from the third page. It is just so sad. I can't imagine someone writing something this gloomy. But then again, it must be the hallmark of a very good writer.
On another, I think after many trips to Target, Wal-Mart, Costco, and Ikea, I have about 85% of my stuff for my apartment! Yay! Now I just need to actually move all that stuff to Pullman from Seattle. Oh, and get my things from people's apartment which are strewn about at 3 places ... so my apartment is 0% moved in! Excellent!
On my last note, since I'm really bored right now, I've been thinking about what I'm doing with my life. For sure, I'm getting a master's, but I dunno about that Ph.D. It's very daunting. But it seems I might be able to finish it in 4 years, albeit here at WSU. BUT I would apply for the Fulbright, which would allow me to conduct research abroad for a year. I think that would be splendid. I think I need to talk more with peeps, but that would be best I think. I would be able to get away from Pullman again for a while. We'll see. More later.
