Curse These Things
I decided I should complete our obligation and get this monkey off our back, because we all know Jacob never will. Besides, don't you get bad luck or die or something if you don't complete it?
Four jobs I've had
1. Bakery Boy
2. Lawn Care Boy
3. Government Documents Boy
4. Undergraduate Research Assistant...er...Boy
Four movies I could watch over and over
1. Waiting for Guffman
2. The Great Escape
3. The Godfather
4. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
Four places I have lived
1. Lincoln, Nebraska
2. Lincoln, Nebraska
3. Lincoln, Nebraska
4. I've probably spent between one and two months of my life backpacking in Colorado...if that counts.
Four TV shows I watch
1. Arrested Development
2. The Simpsons
Four Places I have been on vacation
1. Glastonbury, England
2. Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
3. Paris, France
4. Hannibal, Missouri
Four websites I visit daily
1. Assorted blogs
2. Gmail
3. The Derek Webboard
4. Facebook
Four favorite foods
1. A well-cooked (which means not well-done) steak.
2. My mother's chocolate chip cookies.
3. Shrimp alfredo
4. Beau Jo's Dude Ranch pizza.
Four places I'd like to be right now
1. The English countryside (Glastonbury would be fine.)
2. Backpacking in Glacier National Park (granted, it'd be cold.)
3. Mid-May of this year, when I'm done with my thesis, graduated, and know what I'm doing next year.
4. With this Andrew fellow that Bethany keeps talking about. I kid, I kid! With Bethany, of course.
Four Bloggers I'm Tagging
1. Yes, it really must end.

But not even a meme can get Jacob posting.

Andrew,
I've read this blog for awhile without commenting, but I'm curious as to what you will be doing next year. Grad school?

Good question, Loyal Lurker! As I alluded to in my post, even I don't have an answer to that. The only thing I'm really sure of is that I'll be waiting a year before going to grad school. Right now my two possibilities are:
1. Studying in Germany on a Fulbright Fellowship. I should hear back sometime around April whether I made the final cut or not.
2. Staying in Lincoln and working for a year. What sort of job? Anything that pays.

Ahh, fabulous! Will you pursue philosophy or history? Good luck with the Fulbright!

History. Or more specifically, intellectual history. Or more specifically, modern European intellectual history (with a healthy dose of American religious history thrown in).
