Sometimes the age gap feels great between me and my classmates, at other times I feel like a 12-year-old.<br /> My study skills are rustier than these whipsmart kids born in the 1990's, and I feel like a doofus in class sometimes. I really DON'T have an opinion of the theory in J Tickner's dissection of international relations- at least not one that isn't childish.<br /> <br /> I went to the DoJo to seek help for my first paper for Reed's only required course: Humanities 110, a foundation of Greek and Roman civilization. I also, I discovered, have no opinion or original theories about the Iliad's description of death. I just know a lot of people die.<br /> <br /> I went to the queer alliance meeting before I rolled home and had a great time chatting with folks. It was the first social thing I'd been to on campus. </p> Sat, 12 Sep 2009 14:43:54 -0400 urn:uuid:860a3359-4dbc-478b-8607-39c3b3b55dfa anomalily http://www.anomalily.net//articles/2009/09/12/parched-in-a-sea-of-1400-students
