On the Verge

Tomorrow night, my semester substantially ends. This summer, I still need to rewrite the paper I wrote for the Empire seminar and construct a Derrida paper of some length, but I should be done with both of those tasks (as well as finally sending in my Bonhoeffer paper to be considered for publication) within a month or so.

Now, because of various deep psychological problems I have, I would like to list a couple things I hope to achieve this summer.

1. Learn to read French. There is a summer intensive reading course at U of C beginning June 15, and after that I plan on reading as much French as possible during what remains of the summer (and of course keep up on it as much as possible during the semester).
   
2. Make some headway into my vast stockpile of unread books.
   
3. Seriously investigate finding a new blogging platform.
   
4. Save up some money.
   
5. Take time out for me.

I believe I'm also going to participate in creating some kind of Bible study at my parish. I know it sounds suspiciously like the techniques of generic "church growth"-style Evangelical Republicanism, but the nice thing about Catholics is that they know they don't know anything about the Bible.
