What's Another Two Weeks?

So I was going to give this entry a really panicked/whiny title, but I realized that, while I do have a great deal to do in the next 13 days, it will get done, and then I have summer. So while I'm kind of hating school right now, I know I've got good stuff on the other side.

Also, as I've said before, I kind of like writing seminar papers. It's one of the only times I feel true intellectual curiosity, an active interest in finding stuff out that's completely separate from any reward I may be receiving (a grade, end of pressure, etc). I don't have an actual literature paper this term, sadly, so I'm not enjoying it as much as I might, but...I get inklings. I think when I get to my comp paper I'll feel more than now, although even working on this accursed RVC assignment gets at it. It's one of the only times I feel really secure in my chosen profession.

When I can make myself sit down and work, I really love it.

Piercings and the Past

Having lots of pictures from past times can be wonderful, but it can be cruel too. Sometimes the things you're forced to lose should just remain lost.

Also, everyone with even a passing interest in video games or documentaries should see King of Kong. It's awesome.

More Evidence that (some) Academics are Useless

Title of an article I found today while doing research:

"A Millenium and a Half of Fern Illustrations"

Here Ye, Here Ye:

For the first time in almost three years, I have absolutely no balance on my credit card.

Time to go shopping!

(Just kidding.)

(Probably.)

Well, I'm in a coffee shop

It's that time of year.

You know what I really hate?

The term "recessionista."

The Hazards of Love

- Trip was amazing. Hopefully more later; I have tons of work this week, which usually means more blogging.

- Apartment situation once again in minor upheaval. Being an adult can be such a pain. Guess it fits with the entry title though.

- SEEING DECEMBERISTS! So excited. Tickets were a bit pricey, but they are so worth it. Best live band I've seen. It'll be a nice reward for finishing the semester.

- So far, I'm impressed with my student's essays. Go team.

- I miss my friends.
