PS

I forgot to mention that I got

1) The Arabian Nights
2) The Nazi Conscience

from Barnes and Noble with a gift card my parents gave me for Valentine's Day (proving that they do love me, but more, they know me.)

I finished 'Reading the Holocaust' by Inge Clendinnenen (ennninnin?) Thursday. I'd recommend it to anyone, but I don't actually think everyone would like it, like Tales of the South Pacific. Please read it, though. It's a series of essays on some of the themes and major questions in works about the Holocaust, by a woman who studies Aztecs. Trust me, it works.

Had a very nice Thursday/Friday/Saturday. Presented my thesis, won my debate, talked to people I hadn't in a while, then Friday Book Club (great speeches, and boy were they) and a concert that began and ended unexpectedly, but pleasantly, then Saturday had tea and a long conversation with someone I'd been meaning to get to know better, and it set me thinking. It was a fantastic afternoon, despite the rain. I talked about a lot of things that have been formulating in my head, things I could do better, the odd ways people treat each other, and it helped me crystallize some things. Now I'm uneasy, but hopefully in the good productive way.
