summer plans

Just to amuse myself, and to get away from thinking about Rawls and Nozick and the Communitarian Critique (I never knew how depressing contemplating Justice was until now), I’ve been thinking about H O L I D A Y S.

I’m already heading to Saint-Remy-de-Provence in the south of France for a birthday party in mid-june, and I have a punting expedition in Oxford sometime in july, I will probably be spending a week in Devon/Cornwall trying to get out of any attempt to make me go surfing (i’m very happy on the beach, and if i do want to get wet i’ll go snorkeling or diving, thank you very much) and going in search of a long lost friend of M’s. I might head up to the Isle of Islay for a weekend, and stand on a square foot of land that we ‘own’ on the grounds of the Laphroaig Scotch Whisky distillery.

And then maybe my parents are coming in July. They are so wishy-washy about their decision that i’ve actually almost given up on them attending my presentation ceremony. Like girls, they are. But if they do, i’ll make them bring me to Wales, and eat Welsh Rarebit and other Welsh-y things. I think Leeks are their national vegetable (or regional, however you decide).

So, now the most important question is, what new clothes should I buy for my potentially super-exciting summer?

The thought of shopping is making me very excited right now. Exams make my life so sad.

[p/s: I prefer Rawls to Nozick. Nozick seems so conceited and annoying that I want to punch his face in. Who do you prefer?]
