Well, the comparative literature longest essay I’ve written so far in University, is done. It doesn’t beat the 8000 word monster I wrote for grade 12 English, and that’s probably for the best. It was probably the most enjoyable essay i’ve had to write in University so far, one of the few projects I’m actually glad to have done. Largely because I was basically telling a story, and that’s a thing I like to do. Half the stuff on here isn’t true, after all. It was also very exciting not to have a thesis until the bottom of the first page. That made me feel very triumphant, because I still think the essay flows very nicely, and it’s like sticking it to the man even if only in a small pathetic way. Hopefully I’ll get a good mark, but even if I don’t I’m proud of it anyway. Weird. I stayed up all night writing it, I could’ve rushed it, but there wouldn’t have been any point just to squeeze in 2 or 3 hours of sleep. I actually proof read it a couple times, and even went on a little 5am walk in the woods to clear my head. So I finished it up, then went to my tutorial at 8:30 to hand it in. After that, I had a shower and went to bed. I slept till about 6 with a break here and there. In the “morning” my hair was very foufy, bouffantish even.
So, the whole being here over the break is kinda rough. I just found out today that Commons won’t even be open! and La Piazza (further away) will only be open till 6pm or something. Crikey! Erin is staying too, because she’s in the musical production of Jesus Christ Superstar. That makes things much more pleasant since the whole floor won’t be completely empty. We have sketchy plans to visit the grocery store some point soonishly to deal with the food problem. I might make much use of the kitchen facilities here for once. She also has pretty comparable taste in movies to me, so that’s another possibility of time killing. Not that I’m bad at time killing. I need to get better at time using, in such a way that the time lives. That’s pretty deep huh? Yeah, yeah, just smack me.
