what am i doing sitting here? i have a perfectly good linguistics book that i could be reading. i have to have read it and several others by sometime next week, and i should have some idea about my major when i pre-reg for next semester. besides which i've got to do catch-up reading in spanish for sure and start the essay this weekend. due a week from yesterday. eek, too soon, too soon.

i'm reading interpretation as pragmatics, which is more on the literary criticism side than the discourse analysis/linguistics one, but it should inform my readings in discourse analysis later. it still fascinates the hell out of me, frankly, but i just don't know if i can work minority language communities in (or foreign languages at all ^.^), and it would be a shame to not use my year abroad for some sort of focus.
