bringing forth

Here I am typing away in my univeristy's computer lab in the Criminology building, feeling a bit daunted by the task of having to write an essay on crime and the justice system. I am unwilling to be tempted into lapsing into a pity-party but when it comes to assignments, I find it ironic that I am excusing the swirl of emotions for the sake of intellectual pursuit. So yeah. I do not find criminology attractive, four weeks into studying it.
The subject reads Crime Policy: A Sociological Approach. Where's the sociology? The links to my declared major can seem rather tenuous when I am lost in a forest of meanings, when I don't even have a map of understanding to begin with. Habermas? Weber? Durkheim? It is strangest strangest when I understand an article summarising Durkheim's theories and briefly expounding on his writings more than I do Durkheim.
Does this make his writing unnecessary?

Which brings me to my beloved tagboard and the spectres with rather cute monikers circulating within. I wish I could delete all offensive material off there. But then if I chose to leave them there, the childishness and ignorance is left for all out there to witness.
