today the sunshine came back to paris, and soon i will re-kickstart my productivity into writing driveling essays. hopefully not quite.
the end is so near i almost can't think about it. because it makes my thoughts start spinning around and sends me on endless summer tangents.
I've been thinking alot about what I've learned here, and it's still formulating. Because I know almost everyone I see when I get back will ask me how it was, I'm trying to figure out the right answer, because it's really not a simple thing. i guess in the end it all comes down to life experience. there are cheating, easy answers that you give to the dentist, and there are ones that are more sincere. I'm definitely becoming more able to laugh at things instead of being annoyed at them though, and filling out class evaluations will be absurdly satisfying.
i think this is all for now, but here are some things i've been thinking about:
federico garcia lorca, gift economy, reacting against, and life philosophies.
"Exert stress on unyielding conventions. ask questions that shouldn't be asked. sustain the rigorous process of asking difficult questions. disrupt fixed discourse. practice ideological disruption through aesthetic, dialogic, critical, sculptural, and many other tactics. question dogma and practice irreverent iconoclasms." (the tract house)
