i can't speak for the entire school but my experience in the humanities dept. has been fantastic. all the professors are very supportive and react well (as in, recommendation letter and research position well) to even glancing interest expressed at office hours in their research. socially, though, it's been a nightmare; im finding it really difficult to make friends with people i like here. i had lots of friends at my old school, and im social with my coworkers, so i don't think it's me necessarily. basically if you transfer in and commute, you're gonna have a rough time. all told though the academics, research, and publishing opportunities make up for it.

I just finished up Liberty Or Equality by Kuehnelt-Leddihn and am starting on Aristotle's De Anima. I also have a pile of books on John Duns Scotus to go through since I'm going to attempt to submit a paper into some contest in May to try to make my CV look good. I'm going to mediate two points of view on Divine Simplicity, between Scotus who is for it, and Plantinga who is critical of it. I'll probably end up on Scotus' side because the guy was just too much of a genius for me not to agree with 90% of what he says. I also write right-wing reactionary political philosophy under a pseudonym and need to re read through some of my De Maistre and Carl Schmitt to write a short bit on sovereignty and legitimacy soon.
