Sailing into the Wind
Really, I've had computer problems! Again!
About a week ago, my Firefox 2 browser started acted peculiarly. So, I actually flirted with Flock, which has advanced through a few more upgrades since I last encountered it. I gave Flock a decent courtship, but I missed Firefox. I have finally now corrected whatever went haywire, and all is well again.
Classes at Dong-A University also started two weeks ago, and it took a few days to adjust to that. I have a heavier teaching schedule compared to the last four years, including 3 classes marked as OT.
Finally, my own graduate classes start tomorrow. I've been excited before, but this is the last term. I honestly expect good things to come, even considering the past Internet problems. I'm taking IR 6601, Research Methods, in which I hope I can complete a project on the relationship between environmental catastrophes and civil war. Also, I'm taking IR 6633, Developed and Developing Nations. I'm excited because we're reading Immanuel Wallerstein, and discussing world-systems analysis. One of the IR traits I've picked up since my undergrad days was a a predilection for systemic perspectives over cultural and social ones. It's all very fitting, linking undergraduate IR to graduate IR.
So, my book reading will bloat considerably over periodicals. Fortunately, my PDA is well-stocked with e-books, so I still read most of my "pleasurable" reading on buses and subways to and from work, and between classes.
I have a feeling this term will affect this blog immeasurably.
