academic adrenalin

Of course I only managed about 1 page and a bit .... but almost finished the article in the subway this morning ... not without ramming my elbow into someone's head and almost stabbing another with my pencil. And then had an exciting discussion and many arguments flying for 2 hours of academic exchange - and not as we had feared yesterday, about whether history could ever be objective - as this impossibility is by now well established anyway so it was more on moral and ideological aspects of writing in general - of academic investigations and how or what can make them wrong (while, of course, there is no right) ... sounds all very banal if broken down here now, but the discussions, examples and arguments / counterarguments were really great fun and some even thought provoking and multi-disciplinary and all.
Still on my summer school application.... *stöhn*
