Reading Does Not Equal Understanding - Part 2

Let me start off with a quote from someone I know all too well.

According to M. Gillespie, nihilism as a personal ideology and as a metaphysical justification for "no-limits" can lead to totalitarian politics. Using examples from his book, explain how this happens. Rely on at least one literary contrast which he uses to illustrate the appeal of the demonic.


Yep, that's what I'm supposed to be writing about now. While I completely understand what the author means, I have no idea how to translate that from the reading. I created an outline for myself that makes perfect sense, but I am at a loss on where to start. I'd rather be writing a million different news lead for a story about snails than write this.

Spring break is over, which means it's time to interview for internships. There is one that I really want, so I'm hoping it comes through and works out. I can't believe that, not counting this week, there are only FIVE weeks left of classes! I don't know where the time went.

This week was spring break which means I worked for about 20-30 hours. Oh, and this happened. Also, the cost of oil went up. Awesome. Now you have no money and will pay more at the pump. This year keeps getting better. I used to hate that I wasn't going to graduate this year because I was so ready to work after my summer internship. Now I'm jumping for joy that I have a year to let this economy improve, hopefully.

Random side note, Cake Wrecks is awesome. Some of these are ridiculous, my personal favorites are the ones where the person writing what you want on the cake includes your directions, on the cake. For example:

A: Hi, I'd like a white cake that says, 'Happy Birthday' in big letters.

B: No problem.

A receives said cake with this on it: 'Happy Birthday In Big Letters'
