psalm_onethirtyone: (You Done Good)
I am completely unmotivated, which is kind of a pain because I have to write this paper. But the good thing is, it's my last paper, it's eight pages and then the only thing I have left is exams. I've applied two places for a job for summer, and bought my ticket to go see [livejournal.com profile] mhari, too. So I'm very organised! And very ready for the semester to be over, honestly.

It's just this damn paper. It's not like the history one where I really wanted to write it and got to pick the topic myself. This is about human nature (is it culturally or genetically determined? use the books we've read this semester) and I kind of wanted to punch the author of the last book we read IN THE FACE the whole time, so it's fairly frustrating.

I'm also out of meals, so I'm hiding in Liz's room with a pack of peanut butter crackers and a bottle of diet dr. pepper. When exam week starts, they let you into the dining hall for free, but that's still another six days. Either I find people who haven't used all their guest passes yet, or I don't eat. A little annoying.

I am also still sick, but I'm taking iron pills again, and I've increased my meds like I was supposed to. Hopefully that makes me feel better soon. --And apparently Joyce is going to dose me with some terrifying Taiwanese chewing gum that cures all ills. O_O Dan is opposed, but I'm willing to try it.

And now, back to whining like a five-year-old and trying to write!

To-day's funtimes project: try to find a synonym for "squicky" for an academic paper.*

(On the plus side, I've decided the topics for my two big research papers of the semester: for Cultural Anthropology I am going to write about different cultures' approaches to mental illness and how emotions are described by different cultures. For Women's Lives in Medieval Europe I am going to write about religious women whose relationship with God was sexual. I am excited! It's going to be cool. Now I just have to figure out which female historian I will write about for my historiographical report.)

*it's a paper about Australian colonialism in New Guinea. Squick squick squick.

Adventures in killed darlings, take three:

Murdoch uses his unfettered soul to free the city from the Strangers.

A sentence I love, and which I am about to chop out of my essay because it doesn't fit in:

"And is that salvation, or its allegorical rendering, really a kind of cosmic security blanket to reassure us that we won’t just vanish like spent stars when we die?"
