nice

So I guess this'll be my personal blog post, or whatever it is we're calling the informal postings. This class is getting much better. I'm much more able and comfortable with the postings- maybe because i'm able to understand and am not struggling to make myself get thru the readings- i'm able to think about different topics and interrelate them to this class and what we're doing here. I'm concluding that the 3 of my most involved classes are all intertwined- evolution of writing, writing in cyberspace, and marxist philosophy. the philosophy class is a bit of.. i'd say a challenge. not that its difficult, but figuring out what i know, how i can connect information to make sense. It's fun but its hard.
I still haven't done my podcast and i just realized that i can "keep meaning to" all i want but i just have to go and do it. I'm trying to figure out how i want to say it. I'm like a week past my "extension" due date and i know that but I just have to go do it and thats it. It's not so much a matter of capability anymore its more of a just actively going out and finishing it, but then im like.. well what am i going to say. But i won't be able to figure out exactly what i want to say until I do it. so yea. I'll probably get a bit of a lower grade due to lateness, but i'm okay with that as long as i get it done and sound somewhat intelligent. I enjoyed the post about what this class is about that dr. reid posted today. About how the point of this class is to struggle, and that is how we learn and also how he helps us teach ourselves- by allowing us to struggle. It's something I realized a while ago, and its really true and makes things easier when you know that it's expected.
I'm just getting a big of a rush here, what with my sudden return of interest in my studies. It happens every year about a week after swimming ends, but as time goes on, i realize that it is stronger and stronger each time it comes back. I have so much to do and write and think about and speculate on and learn and relearn, and understand- and i have that on the academic and person levels in so many aspects of my life, its a big hard to hold onto all at once. I like it, but it's just me trying to figure out my balancing act out for awhile i guess. but i've gotten such a better grasp on everything- i just hope i keep ahold of that, and don't let it slip.
