I used to be such a good student, too!

I have a paper due in less than 24 hours (tomorrow at 2:30pm, although I have class at 11am and would prefer to not miss it), and I haven't started it yet. And I am blogging anyway.

I don't think I've ever done this before. I forced myself to enjoy my Thanksgiving break, and enjoy it I did (except for the 9.5 hours spent at Shopko). I got to spend time with my friends, my family, and with Antoine. I got to check out manga from the library and watch Battlestar Galactica's Razor movie on my sister's HDTV. I quit Shopko for good (on good terms, but I just won't be going back! EVER! It feels so good to say that!). And I made some sweet purchases.

Despite the fact that I am not on task in terms of writing papers (*cough*like the one I should be working on now*cough*) and I am behind on the readings in all of my classes, I feel like I've been doing well in my discussion sections lately. Which is good, considering that I hate discussion sections.

I really feel like I'm getting to the end of college, because all I can think about is how amazing life will be when I live by myself, and when all I will "have" to do in my free time is keep an apartment clean, read books/comics, and watch TV shows and anime. HOW GLORIOUS WILL THAT BE?! Oh yeah, and I guess I'll find a job somewhere.....doing something.....(and no, I have not been having anxiety about that LIEK whoa at all).

Anyway. I'm really, really going to make myself write this paper now. It's a shame. I feel like there are 80 stories I need to write in my blog right now. Instead, my energy will be focused on the Wife of Bath, and possibly Tristan and Isolde. Because somehow, I will forge a thesis that utilizes both stories.

Note to Self: The Things You Must Blog About Whenever You Find Free Time (hahahaaaaaa):
* Tokyo Babylon manga
* Cantarella manga
* Battlestar Galactica: Razor
* The last few episodes of Heroes, but I'll probably just wait until next week's episode airs, and do it all at once. But let me say: CAN WE NOT MAKE ALL OF THE WOMEN ACT STUPIDLY IN EVERY STORYLINE?! Also, could Mohinder not be so stupid? I want to love him! He is so cute! But such an idiot. :( So is Peter. Peter + Mohinder = Stupid City

So what happened to your facebook account?

Nothing?? I'm not sure what you're talking about, ;_;

I hope you got your paper done! Wait, I know you got it done. I hope you didn't have to suffer too much to finish it. One thing I noticed about myself, in college and grad school (the latter especially) is that a kind of burnout started to set in at times, and it meant that things were harder to accomplish. Simple, short papers became harder to finish. Anyway, not to drag you down with that--but just saying it's normal.

Long hard papers are teh suck, too. I have hardly done a thing for my thesis in 2 months, and have perfected the art of procrastination. Sigh. I look forward to May when we are both free and can pursue geek interests at our leisure, and hopefully see more of each other, too!
