lethbridge punk, i'll get you back someday

dear friends,

i have been overcome with work of late. i shall now bore you with some of the highlights:

* reading dark threats and white knights. it is about canadian peacekeeping and somolia. one check in the interesting column. it uses critical race theory to deconstruct just about everything. one check in the no-thanks you po-mo crazy column. i also have to meet this woman. i am trying to come up with a brilliant question with a little bite. this is mostly because i am being forced to attend this talk (v. my previous committment to facilitate a workshop on gender and leadership in eastern europe for the mcgill centre for research and teaching on women). i am remarkably easily motivated by spite.

* reading durkheim and marking papers on marx's views of religiousity, next week marking more papers on suicide.

* preparing application packages for princeton, unc, arizona, virginia, harvard, yale, berkeley, columbia, notre dame, boston u and studying for that mofo, the gre.

* feining work enough to remain employed by a certain crazy political scientist. although in fairness i really enjoy reading about parenting.

* writing a paper based on original quantitative analysis on the canadian culture war

* working on an event history analysis of factors contributing to joining voluntary and religious associations with special reference to the life course. panel data is a real bitch to find. and i have found a decent data set. that is were the lethbridge punk thing comes in... but i will elaborate no further to save my future career.

grad school is so cool,
cam
