Sociology

This morning, during my incredibly short sociology class (it's the last day of class), my professor asked if anyone was taking any sociology classes next semester. I'll be taking demography. I'm actually the only student in the class taking anymore sociology classes. I guess everyone else just took it because it's required (you have the option of intro to: psych/soc/econ). I took it because I'm a psychology major and I have to take some sociology courses. I'd like to take more actually. One student asked him if he was teaching any courses next semester other than Intro to Sociology. Dumb question, really, because Dr. Lodge is the chair of the Sociology Dept. So, umm, yeah, he's teaching a couple upper-levels. Demography is a 400-level and he wanted to be sure I was going to be a junior or a senior next semester (I'll be a senior). He's also teaching deviance, which will probably focus on the medicalization of deviance. I wish I could take that course, but I'm already at 16 hours.

If I had the money, I'd do another semester and minor sociology (and spread my classes out a bit. It'd be nice to be less stressed). That would be awesome. I wish I could. After next semester, I'd need two more classes. I'd like to take Deviance, Cultural Anthropology, Social Inequality, Social Problems, Sociology of Medicine...

Maybe I will. Maybe some how I'll come into money.

Probably not! Lol.

Noooo, they all look reeeallly cool. Seriously, though, they do to me. I am fast becoming a social science nerd.

I haven't played GTA. Kevin has. Relentlessly. It's violent and quite humorous at times. What can I say, the guys dig it.

Now, lets combine the two. Does the release of games from the GTA series coincide with an increase in the incidence of reckless driving in males aged 16-25 (heck, 16-35 even)?

Gosh, sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing anymore. Sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart. Sometimes, I wonder if I did the right thing. I think I did. I'm sure I did. Right?

Dear Frog-- What can I say but: I told you so? I don't mean to sound so harsh, but from the beginning, I figured I was destined to "fuck up," as I so put it. And, well, I fucked it all up. I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you, but so it goes. It is in my nature. Did I not tell you this before? Perhaps, someday there will be one whom I will not sting. I will change my very nature to help this person cross the stream. Oh, but dear Frog, I feel now that I cannot say that I wish I hadn't messed everything up. As wonderful as our times were together, I feel I would have stung you eventually. As you nurse your wounds, know I will always remember you. I hope that one day you can forgive me.

LONGAVILLE: You swore to that Berowne, and the rest! BEROWNE. By yea and nay, sir, then I swore in jest. What is the end of study, let me know. KING. Why, that to know which else we should not know. BEROWNE. Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense? KING. Ay, that is study's god-like recompense. BEROWNE. As thus: to study where I well may dine, When I to feast expressly am forbid; Or study where to meet some mistress fine, When mistresses from common sense are hid; KING. These be the stops that hinder study quite, And train our intellects to vain delight. BEROWNE. Why, all delights are vain; KING: I've seen for days that you've got The ways that must be checked In you I never can detect The slightest signs of intellect Your mad on dances, think of the chances you neglect You never seem inclined to use your mind You're just a fella who Has got his brains in his dancing shoes Take a lesson from me BEROWNE: I'd rather Charleston LONGAVILLE and DUMAINE: Do...
