Since the last blog entry, some things have happened to me…which have all lead (in a there own way) to me sitting inside of Cosmo’s writing this very blog post.

1. Got Married. July 12. Just as stressful as any person could imagine. I would much rather have tried to settle the cold war by myself than re-marry. Still, however, the most important day of my life and I am quite happy with the results.

2. Did not find a job in Seattle that would enable me to move to the Pacific Northwest. I told myself that if I did not get a job I would not move. For now, I am stuck in San Diego. Its not a desperate situation, we have a pretty spiffy place in Golden Hill/South Park (depending on who you ask) and it gives me time to focus on re-applying to graduate programs.

3. The sudden realization that my own academic interests has out grown the courses offered at SDSU or UCSD. This now leads me to create my own course in American Literature and Theory. Though at this point only the American Lit section is written and as of today enacted, I will be quickly adding a theory course soon. Ultimately the goal is this to get through a long list of books, with have been arranged in chronological order. It is my own survey course in Contemporary Lit. I will not give the book list here, to spare you the details, but I will be adding weekly posts to the site reflection on that weeks reading. On top of that, I will begin a general survey of the works of Terry Eagleton. Have not looked too much into titles as of now, but will be jumping on that probably tomorrow.
