thesis // microcephaly

My senior thesis topic has been approved! Apocalypse in modern literature. Yep; that is, in fact, all I have so far. But it's a start! And I have a pretty good list of texts to begin looking at. So far, it's an almost definite yes to the Butler, and maybes on the others.

Octavia E. Butler's The Parable of the Sower
Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle
Frank Herbert's Dune
Phillip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Pat Frank's Alas, Babylon
Ursula K. LeGuin's The Telling
Cormac McCarthy's The Road

I've also begun seeing a new therapist here in Maryland; Dr. Lockley, as she will be known here, seems to be a very intelligent and emotionally conscious woman, and the two sessions we've had thus far were very cathartic, and have already made me feel slightly better. Senior year, here I come. :D
