yet more nonsense from tobin

The semester is ending, and, very weirdly, I find myself sensing the looming presense of freedom, like a cold yet refreshing wind from the north, or the first rays of dawn. Why is this weird? Because there's so much unfinished, because so much is nebulous and indeterminate, because it doesn't feel like the semester should be over yet, and because I'm not sure what I have accomplished. I feel stuck in some kind of a daze. I've (nearly) reached the end of the track, and am unsure of what to do next. I haven't applied for grad school. Yet it feels nice that the semester is ending. Not that it's been particularly difficult or stressful. Haley wants to go out on an adventure, and that's exactly what I need. I need to get out of here. And I need something new and exciting to read. I want to learn French and speak Spanish.

Even if the recent American re-make of the Soviet Solaris has no inherent virtue, it has at least precipitated the re-release of the original Solaris on DVD.

I think I have to go to University of Chicago. They have a scavenger hunt. Oh yeah, so do we. Only theirs sounds more exciting.
