Beautiful Day
Jan. 27th, 2003 05:35 pmIt was gorgeous out today, sunny but cool, a magnificent day for walking. I put my sunglasses on went out with just a sweater on and enjoyed my walk throughly.
My walk to school was disturbed only by the fact that, according to the library website, I had a fine. This led me to believe that I had looked at a date wrong and that I should have returned something last week. Seeing as the LSE charges ruinous late fees, this was not a good thing. Once I got to the library I discovered that actually the library had not entered in a offprint I returned on Friday, so I didn't owe anything. Yay!
DV 400 was taught by Robert Wade who gave a (amazingly) interesting lecture on poverty and inequality, focusing on the numbers of it, and how they are calculated. I'm looking forward to doing the reading now that I think I have a clue what we are discussing. Seminar managed to even have a decent discussion on the the topic of liberalizing trade, an amazing feat for a room full of anthropologists.
Now I'm going to go read Foucault and watch Farscape. After that I'll be back here, attempting to write (yet another) paper for Parry.
P.S. I felt like a grad student today when I discovered that one of my undergrad flatmates (econ major) had never heard of Foucault or Edward Said until recently. :)
