Dear Jacques,

It's so hard to say goodbye, especially since these words don't have any meaning. Just kidding, you old rascal. But seriously, I just wanted to say that without you college really would have sucked. I never would have started dropping acid to write my critical theory papers. Come to think of it, I might never have majored in English at all. I probably would have gone for something more practical, like business. But just look at me now. Yeah, thanks a lot asshole.

As a humble tribute to you, I hereby submit the title of my senior thesis, which I'm sure you would have appreciated.

"Taking Apart the World: Deconstructionism in Mass Media"

I got an 'A' by the way. And the only other comment from my professor was this: 'with a title like that, I think you're ready for graduate school.'

Maybe I should take her advice.

Jacques Derrida is dead, dead, dead.
