felis_ultharusGradually getting caught up in all my courses. Editing about 10 pages a day -- an excrutiatingly slow rate. I'm also writing a short story on the side, just to burn off some of the creative energy.
Fulke Greville (1554-1628) was a living warning to parents that if you name your child "Fulke," they shall turn to poetry.
Someone was questioning the dominant postmodern viewpoint in class, and for once it wasn't me. His name is Chris.
I've heard people talking about this guy -- mocking comments behind his back -- but he's one of the most intelligent students in the program (well-thought-out and well-read). He was unwilling, today, to automatically rule out the existence of a true self or of free will -- a cardinal sin these days.
Everyone started looking at each other, as if someone had broken wind. Even the professor looked uncomfortable. She accidentally described him as "stuck" in his beliefs, before quickly changing it to "focused on."
