Nothing quite like having to go get a cavity filled to ruin a day off. Well, that and two big papers to do over break (in addition to the Plath paper, I also have to type up a midterm for one of my other classes). The best part is that now the novocaine has worn off, and my mouth is hurting like hell, too much for my extra-strength generic Tylenol to make a dent in.
On the plus side, Golden Key finally came calling for me today. I don't know, there's an old (Groucho) Marxism about never belonging to any club that would accept you as a member; I can't get it out of my head right now. I already spent nine years in private school learning what anti-social behaviours groups like that have the tendency to foster, and I'm not sure if I'm ready to willingly submit to a group like that. On the other hand, it would open up a lot more opportunities for me on campus, including scholarships, and it's hard to turn that down. And who knows, maybe they're not as bad as the stuck-ups I'm used to thinking of when I hear "honours society". I guess I'll just have to stop by their offices once class resumes to see how I feel about them.
I wish UT had a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, though; there are much more interesting members there. (Ha ha.)
