Why I am so Clever

Last night was the last class of my May-mester on Nietzsche. It was three weeks, five nights a week, 2 1/2 hours a night, of Nietzsche--The Birth of Tragedy, The Gay Science, Beyond Good and Evil, A Genealogy of Morals, Twilight of the Idols, On Truth and Lies in a Non-Moral Sense, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Human All Too Human, Ecce Homo. . . Pretty much a sampling of everything. And so my blog title is both in homage to Nietzsche and wishful thinking as I work frantically on my Final Exam (due on Friday). And for those of you who have not read Ecce Homo, the titles of the chapters are: Why I am so Wise, Why I am so Clever, Why I Write such Good Books, and Why I am a Destiny.

What a fabulous man.

I quit smoking on the 8th--I'm on Zyban/Wellbutrin. It's pretty wild--it really does reduce the urge to smoke drastically. I've tried everything else, and this seems to be working. I still have a whole plan, like the quit date, and ways to control cravings, and whatnot. My goal is to replace smoking with yoga. I'm pretty excited about that, actually.

And that's most of my blog-worthy news. Trust me, if I think of anything else, I'll take a break from the exam to post it.
