Two down. One exam and one essay to go.

...

My God am I good at producing pretentious wank.

*cheerfully dusts off her Intellectual Vocabulary*

Words to include:

juxtaposition
societal psyche
status quo
inherently
credo
ubiquitous
assimilationism
symbiosis
reflexivity
acknowledgment of social dynamism <--- I made that up, but it sounds cool

Any suggestions? I know some of you are at least as fond of this shit as I am.

Suggestion: crock of bull.
I dare you. XP

You want proof of how insane a mood I was in when I was taking notes on education from the brick? I got off on a tangent, went and dug up my copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and copied down:

'when spontaneity and individuality and really good original stuff occured in a classroom it was in spite of the instruction, not because of it'

'you were supposed to imitate the teacher in such a way as to convince the teacher you were not imitating, but taking the essence of the instruction and going ahead with it on your own'

And then I had a good think about just how well that would go down if I put it in my essay. If I get hideously bored and/or rebellious I may yet.

I tend to go for Pterry, or Douglas Adams. Eddie Izzard goes down well, too.

I'm not actually meant to be using any sources outside of the course brick and lecture material >.<

I haven't read any Douglas Adams recently enough to be able to pull a handy quote out of my head, worse luck.

You okay, hon? Situation sounding dire.

No. (http://www.livejournal.com/community/milliways_bar/5647386.html)

...holy fucking Christ.

Sophie wins the world for Going Out With A Bang. You people are amazing.

Oh my.
I follow this sometimes, y'know, and....oh my.
Erm.
*weeps*

I'm all on edge now. This should not be shaking me up as much as it is, but, ah.

Triggering some bad character memories. (http://www.livejournal.com/~mercurial_wit/23585.html)

Aren't they wonderful? I'd reread and reread if it didn't hurt so much. Fiat lux. Fuck.

Crap essay crap mumble.

When's your exam, by the way? Or is that the one on tomorrow?

oooh.. can i use them in my socialisation essay..
i'll even put you in my bibliog :P
(caqn i get YOUR definitions for those words while i'm at it? so many people define them differently)

Er...not right now? When I'm done with exams, sure. I need my time just at the moment.

i'm making this a competition. XP
if you can get serendipitously, oft, poststructuralist, inculcation, vicariously, and my personal favourite - disaffected, in there, your essay shall surely defeat mine for the pretentious!wank award. or we'll get done for some kind plagarism competition, one or the other. XP
argh. 1079 words. this essay wants me dead.

1410 of DOT POINTS. And I still have 5 lectures worth of stuff to add.

THEN I can start, you know, writing the actual essay.

I ~~LOSE~~ WIN AT LIFE.

356, BITE ME.
However, I write directly into final draft. Stupid idea, but its what I do.

so do i i guess. though i will read over it in a vaguely edit-y sense tomorrow. i'm searching for a plan AS I WRITE. it's great. at the moment it's 90% pretentious drivel with no argument.

To distract yourself, look at the pretty pretty link I edited into my entry.

Uxorious. Puerile. Propinquity.

OK, 'uxorious' you probably can't do, BUT I LIKE IT.

*pokes essay*

This is killing my braaaaaaain.

Here's a few of my favourites:

obsequious
esoteric
misanthropic
existential
nihilistic
constructivism
praxis
habituation
minimal group paradigm
eviserate
flocculate
pedagody
exogenous
endogeous
