Bryn Mawr Wins

While I have often said that I am not going to come back home (half in jest), my procrastination method from Freud today led me to browse through Bryn Mawr's course catalogue for the Spring. Seriously, if Bryn Mawr wasn't offering what to me are the BEST COURSES THEY'VE EVER HAD I probably would stay here. But the fact there is a course titled "Literature & Society in Modern Russia" at Haverford, and Tratner is teaching a course on Nazis, Communism, and the Movies, I'm pretty excited to go home. Mind you, I am having a fabulous time here, and I love the University of Melbourne, but my Communist obsessions have not nearly been satisfied, and considering those two course combined are basically the foundation for my thesis, I am pretty stoked to go back. I really want to just stay in school forever- I am so much happier being an academic than I am at trying to function in a working society. My greatest desire is just to read books and articles all day and throw wine and cheese parties. Maybe I'll just go to grad school afterall.....

Okay, back to Freud.
