The blog's back on...

Let's first begin with an apology: sorry if I disappointed you with my long leave of absence. I was shocked to learn that people actually read this, so I'll try to be good about updating the blog this summer, especially for those people who cannot see me but are still interested in hearing me complain (which I'm sooooooo good at).

So, for those who are interested, let's take a journey through my life leading up to the re-instatement of my blog:

January: Oh HEY classes! You are so much fun! I love talking about psychology, and I love reading interesting sociology articles. This is totally the freshman experience. WE SO EXCITED.

February: 7 AM WAKING UP IN THE MORNING. HATING 8 AM SOCIAL PSYCH DISCUSSION. WORST. SCHEDULING. IDEA. EVER.

March: Yay! Spring break! Only 1000 midterms to do...but once I'm done FUN FUN THINK ABOUT FUN. (you know what it is...)

April: Um, were we supposed to have read those three articles? [Yes] Ok because they're all subtle variations on the same thing [But that's what academics do...] Ok but I don't see the value in reading about the local pottery industry in a small sub-region of Costa Rica [You should be curious about how this fits into the larger landscape of industrialized post-Modern Westernism as it relates to neoliberal expansion] So, did you notice how that was just a string of buzz-words devoid of any real content? [Welcome to Sociology 101, 102, 201, 202, etc.] NOW YOU KNOW IT...

Yes, Rebecca Black's "Friday" is the new soundtrack to my life. And yes, Ke$ha is still near and dear to my heart.

So, in conclusion:

1. I'm back for the entire summer. [take a victory lap]

2. I'm still going to make all the tired pop culture jokes as before...

& 3. I've missed you guys!

I leave you with this gem:

[enjoy]
