When you save someone, you are saving them from something. You are also saving them to something. What violences are entailed in this transformation? And what presumptions are being made about the superiority of what you are saving them to? -- Lila Abu-Lughod found in "Feminist Reverberations" by Joan Wallach Scott

One. Am having trouble falling asleep. Have been informed that my back hurts because my chair at my desk is too small. Have been thinking about how the next chair I will buy should be totally badass, with hydraulics and a cup holder. I spend a lot of time in front of my computer. I need a nicer chair.

Two. Have finished week number one of new classes. Am excited, and am also terrified by prospects of having to do all the work this semester. Two 25 page papers. Teaching. Observations. An internship. Ugh-ish is how I feel about it all. Will buckle down immediately, just as I did last week. I was doing homework on Friday night at nine pm. What were you doing?

Three. Fellas. Cursive sounds good with me. Makes me think of how long it's been since I've gone to a show. Am feeling like an old man lately. Crotchety. Stuck in my ways. And the wedding invitations just seem to keep on coming. Huzzah for the mid-20s. Huzzah, indeed.

Four. Zach. Tuesday @ 4ish sounds fab. I went to your office a million times last week, but you were never there. Apparently our schedules don't match. I'll be on campus all day tomorrow, though, so I might pop in. Consider this fair warning.

Up Next: Stereo by Paul Westerberg; sleep; and, a shower.
Tomorrow: ENG 296, ENG 297, and HIS 300.
