Summer is notoriously a time to essentially veg out, a time where your mind is left to deteriorate as you’re left unconcerned. I hate taking people’s word for that – trashy ’summer’ books, for instance, really just irk me – and yet I find the enthusiasm for the online thought-pieces I once lauded (right in this here blog!) eluding me and I’m just more content hitting the random button at Dinosaur Comics and giggling away my nights.
However, that’s just internet and I’m more than happy to immerse myself in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay which is so, so good and unlikely to be thrown in the ‘beach reads’ pile. Which is perhaps some consolation, but still I can’t place myself back in the academic context again. Ew, academia – I have no excitement for you. Perhaps the ’summerbrain’ as I’ve termed it is getting to me. Well hey, I guess I’ve got a month to sort that all out.

I recommend taking the plunge into the rousing world of feed readers. Honestly. I’m serious. Give me a shout and we’ll discuss logistics.

Comment by Katie July 28, 2008 @ 6:22 pmI get to look forward to potentially hundreds of pages of reading for my internship’s 20-pager. I’m trying to figure out a topic this week. It’s starting to look like it’ll be the role of public education in the creation of citizens in multicultural societies. Whoohoo.
Ooh, colour me intrigued by the topic. It’s something that’s crossed my mind from time to time.
Any chance I’ll be able to read it at some point?
Comment by ofcansandjars July 29, 2008 @ 1:07 pmSure, maybe I’ll link it to my blog if it turns out decently.
