They neglected to tell anyone until Friday that there was summer work for History. Haha. Thanks a lot, History Department!
To get a jump on summer reading, I read The Stranger. It may just have been the weirdest thing. If you haven't read it, let me summarize.

Court: He didn't cry at his mother's funeral!

Mersault: I was too tired! And what does that matter?

Court: He smoked a cigarette and had a coffee! And he didn't look at his dead mother before they buried her!

Mersault: I was tired! It was hot! What does that matter?

Court: So, obvisouly, he killed this other guy in an act of premeditated murder!

Mersault: What????

Me: Oooookay ... That was odd.

But really, it's about a guy Mersault who has a friend who beats up another guy's sister. So they guy gets in a fight with his friend, so later Mersault takes away the friend's gun so he can't shoot anyone, then winds up just up and shooting that guy on the beach. Then, he gets executed, convicted because he didn't cry at his mother's funeral.

And I am going, It is very obvious that this is a post-war novel. And it is freaking me out.

I have been finishing everything. I finished my tuning chart today and all I have left are 6 finals, the band final (which is kind of a joke), and an essay on what I think about the atomic bomb and the decision to drop. Which is hard, because I'm kind of a hippie, and I don't really need anyone to know that.

How come all the singers I like have really weird given names? It makes it so hard to explain them to people, since you have to stop and go, "No, really, that's her name."

I'm done now. I watched like, half of Princess Mononoke and half of Four Weddings and a Funeral today, and clearly, this has me wiped.
