Camping and Comps

The quintessential comps summer moment:

Sitting on a rock in the middle of a creek reading Judith Butler and snapping pictures of my highschool friends catching crawfish.

Other than a few moments -- such as angrily waiting outside for my ride who was well over an hour late -- camping was really nice. The torrential rain of the week before did make it difficult to start a fire the first night, but no big deal. My lungs are revolting because I deluged them with pollen, but it was well worth it. I am drinking vinegar tea with honey (the nastiest concoction on earth) but it helps to clear my lungs.

I'm picking up the pace on my reading, so I should get back to it. I've been giving myself too many breaks -- looking at a friend's new apartment, playing chess with my sweetie, camping for three days, planning two separate hiking trips for the fourth of july weekend... but, without breaks, I become overwhelmed by theory.
