The Lemonated Deed
Jump to Comments
The title of this entry comes from a footnote in my SPAN 402 book. One of the poems by somebody from la Generación de 27 or roundabouts has a line that ends ‘el limonado hecho’ — the lemonated deed. Yeah, something that was done in a manner similar to a verbal form of lemonade. I really need to read the poem to see what the heck is going on– I’ve caught the note out of the corner of my eye in the last couple of classes, but never tried to see what the whole thing is about.
Tomorrow is really busy. American national government test, spanish test, some sort of florence meeting, dorm dinner, int law meeting, (I think these last three overlap timewise) and something else I’m sure I’m forgetting. And then this weekend is nuts too. Knights retreat all weekend. I got out of one of my cross-conflicts (moved to next weekend where it can interfere with me packing up! YES) but I think I have at least one more I’m going to have to do something about, because, honestly, the retreat is one of the best times of the year and I’m not freaking missing it.
All of a sudden everything got so busy. I’m so tired and just want to go home and I’m fighting against the urge to just let everything slide because there’s nowhere for it to slide! Everything’s breaking– first my headphones and then I bent my glasses and I almost just now broke my newest Mayer CDs that I haven’t digitized and I’m irrationally afraid that somebody’s going to hit my car or something since it’s obviously next.
Further, I don’t feel like I have anything to show for this semester– I haven’t had any big projects or anything like that. I don’t feel like I’ve learned very much– I can’t really say anything about my classes besides decent. There’s just nothing outstanding that has happened in any of them, or to me, or that I’ve done, or I don’t know. I do know that my room’s a total mess. I’m going to be glad when I don’t have a roommate when I get back to campus next spring– If I actually have a place to put stuff I don’t think I’d be very disorganized.

I don’t understand why you said “spring” instead of “fall” in the final paragraph. Are you not going back to Harding for the fall of 2005? If not, is it because you’ll be abroad (in Italy, iirc)? I completely forgot you were doing that. Congrats on it all working and stuff, since you are clearly indicating that you won’t be in Arkansas for quite a while after the summer starts.
With the exception of Japanese, I also feel as if I have not learned too much. Last term was better, as I felt I learned Japanese, chem, a little bio, and relearned stats. But this term has been purely Japanese in the “gains” column. Chemistry kind of flopped about, biology was really boring and sometimes over my head since I was lost, and psychology only taught me ~3 to 4 new things in its whole semester-long run.
See you soon?
