The New Adventures of...
Thrilling tales of mild discomfort and general complacence
Tuesday, December 09, 2003
Well it's over at last. I've done all of my papers and now I get to wait until Friday for the first of my finals.
A few After the Fact things:
- I wrote some damned good papers. The one I wrote about discourse surrounding Ireland was one of the most fun to write ever. I read some great works of theory and got to speculate about things all on my own, not having to copy everything out of a book. Just when I was entering an existential crisis over writing countless papers and either (a) never saying anything new in them although I had ideas or (b) knowing that although I'd done good work, no one would ever see it but the teacher. I know that paper isn't going to go further than Professor Mulligan, but I got to use my own voice to make theories.
- I was so worked up this past week and a half that I've given myself tummy trouble. I won't take it any further than that, but let it be known that I'll be cutting quesadillas out of my life for awhile
- Without procrastination, nothing would ever get done. In my avoidance of work, I did the housing survey, dusted my room, rearranged my DVDs in to an actual format, and painted my nails bright red.
- My eyes are kinda wonky. I think I've been staring at a computer screen for too long, since I'm currently typing better without my glasses on than with them. Just look at how nice this entry is (if this thing comes out typo city I'm gonna cry).
But I must admit that after all that rushing around I feel....what's a good word?...post-catharsis, that's it. I feel like there is nothing for me to do now, although there is. My final is on Friday for Biogeography, so I should work on that...but I'm not. Instead I've played the Helicopter game at ebaumsworld about a billion times. My high score is 1672. Play the game and you'll begin to realize just how much time I've put in to that thing.
As of now I have decided to turn to the magic that is Johnny Depp to give my life some purpose. I've been watching Pirates of the Caribbean for the past few hours and it's just ended. I really like the score, so I may try and get that when I go home for break....what the hell is this?...There's something after the credits!? No way! What's this....ARG!! FREAKY ASS DOOM MONKEY! NOOOO!!!
