On Hiatus

I'll be on hiatus from the blogosphere because I'll be finalizing my dissertation prospectus.

It's also Spring Break so I'm trying to get some rest (Is there such a thing?).

In May, I'll be attending the Rhetoric Society of America Conference in Seattle so I will also be busy preparing for my presentation. So this hiatus might be extended even further!

Despite the hiatus, I might be tempted to jump back into this blog and post some notes or comments here or there about what I am reading.

One never knows what will happen.

Hasta pronto,

"Memerehetor"

Currently reading:

Patrick H. Hutton, "History as an Art of Memory"
