Thanksgiving is generally one of my least favorite holidays, but the last few have been great. Two years ago, I went to San Francisco for the week. Last year was a family camping trip. This year the travelling theme continued as I visited a friend in Tennessee. Having two classes on Wednesday cancelled, I skipped a third to get out of town in the early morning. It made for a still short trip, but I really needed to get out of here. It was a weekend of no noisy neighbors and no one talking about football. It was very good indeed.
The downside is that the restlessness I felt has gotten worse by travelling. Driving home, I really didn't want to take the right exits, wishing instead to follow the road west instead of south. It's probably a good thing I didn't have a tent with me. I don't know that I'm burnt out on school; I'm just disinterested in the same things by now. Today is about how I predicted it would be in the car: drudgery, going to classes that don't really teach me anything, and killing time in unproductive ways. In French, it was just people presenting bonus power point presentations. How can I be "excited" about that? Where's the motivation to go to school?
And now, it's time for a lecture on Heidegger.

you need to up your education, you are too smart for this undergrad nonsense. You need to challenge yourself.
