Figuring It All Out
Well, I think I've figured out what I'm going to do to finish this whole thing. Rather than move off into the comparative field, I've decided to stay within American Politics and work on third party issues, specifically the demise of the third party system by the beginning of the 20th century. I like the approaches used by authors I've been reading lately (Clemens, Skocpol), so I think that rather than go with a rational choice approach, this is the direction I'm going to take instead.

As usual, I'm overwhelmed with the number of papers that I have to finish. I just completed the Runaway Jury papers for Dr. Kuersten's class, but now I have the actual tests to do now. It doesn't ever really seem to end. I still haven't even started doing any research for the paper that I have to do for the World Bank class. That's something I definitely am not looking forward to.

Also, my new computer completely crashed a week or so ago. It just stopped working. I went through tech support with Ibuypower.com, and I'm so peeved right now because they haven't a clue what's actually wrong with it, so my new computer is completely useless right now. They promised a week ago to send me a new video card (which isn't the actual problem but is now a problem because of how the person was trying to get me to fix the computer over the phone), and they haven't sent it yet. In other words, I don't think my computer is ever going to work again, and it was so damn expensive.

Stumble It!
