That’s right nothing interesting happened this week. Except it feels like some sort of jerk stabbed my back because now it’s really sore and I don’t have a heating pad to make it better. :(

Whatever.

This weekend my school is celebrating ‘Pigstock,’ and I still am not sure what exactly it is. I know there’s a 24-hour continuous relay fun run type deal that I’m not participating in because movement is for things with wheels. Also various bands. A drum circle at midnight (oh you hippies) and maybe food? I don’t know. I guess you can also camp on the soccer field, where this is all taking place, but I decided to do more interesting and relevant things like hang out with my brother and sister-in-law. Yayyyy family! Yay a car!

Also I’ve started taking social theory reading notes in the way that my social theory prof suggested to us just the other day and it is sooooo helpful! I think I’ll remember stuff! Besides the fact that this class is really interesting anyways.

I think I’ll mostly remember key points thanks to his strange quotes -the ‘promiscuous horde’ relates to how folks like Lewis Henry Morgan thought that there were three stages of evolutionary change in seven areas, Savagery->Barbarism->Civilization and the seven areas included subsistence, government, language, house life/architecture, property and family, the savagery state of family consisting of a ‘promiscuous horde’ which apparently just ran around propagating their lines. Wheee! (I’ll admit, I did consult my notes a bit for that, but I will remember it for the test.)

Also, the religious category of animatism is the ‘star wars-like kind of religious view of an impersonal force of some sort that permeates the world.’

Apparently humor is the best means of education for me.
