People are starting to write proposals for honors theses and fellowships for after graduation and applying for scholarships for masters' degrees. Shit. For some of us, walking the stage is like walking the plank. Others continue to float along on waves of fellowships and programs and internships that convince twenty-somethings that they are important, always "preparing" to do something for the world. In India Khemraj resented all of the coferences to which he was invited to speak, because he was always asked to talk to academics and others who talk about development like it's football. It would be easy enough to keep pursuing things like that--it seems like a lot of people manage to talk the talk until the day they die. For some reason I feel like I will have to actually do something after I graduate in order to justify all of the 'preparation' I have had thus far, but I guess what I should really be preparing myself for is the possibility that I could soon be joining the ranks of philosophically frustrated youth preparing mocha lattes in San Francisco. I think they coud form an army powerful enough to dismantle...something, if they could only figure out what it is.
