Ghosts of Berlin: Reaction

BOO!!

This poor excuse for a book is something I could do without. (Note: Readers may notice a trend in my blogging; I tend not to sugarcoat my reactions. Why would I do that? There's no point in wasting anyone's time. )

The lecture today by Sabine Lang was cool. She really got my mind going with all the policy-oriented part of my research...Political Science Thesis here I come! That was nice.

Discussions of our research thus far haven't been that fruitful, at least my perception of them, which you are free to take with a grain of salt. I'm at the point where I would like to put an end to sitting around talking about what we will do and start putting my money where my mouth is and get into the culture and policy research that drew me to the Viewpoints program from the outset. This just means I am excited, and I suppose I could try a little harder to rein that in, but again that may be counterproductive for the end result.

Also the more we speak about our research the more I am left to puzzle how I am going to convey this research via a composition with my group.

Also, also! Was there a composition assignment today for next week? There was one on the syllabus. Hmm...being someone who does not stay for the language instruction portion makes me wonder if I'm missing announcements to the group in general since only three or four of us leave.

If I sound particularly caustic please excuse me, I am fighting off the plague (thanks coworkers!).
