I have this massive headache that's been developing all evening. At times it seems to cause dizziness. This is mildly perplexing (and worrisome).
In other news, I have no motivation for anything right now. This probably has something to do with the state of my head, but it could also be because the college is officially closed today due to weather. It's ridiculous, and lulling me into a state of poorly-timed apathy.
I'm not sure how I feel about psychoanalysis and its applications to literature. It's highly intriguing and highlights meanings I wouldn't have observed in a work (such as As I Lay Dying), but I wonder how much of the connections between the literature and the psychoanalytic theories are contrived. Like, really, how much of it did the author consciously incorporate into the novel, especially if the psychoanalytic theories revealing these new meanings were developed after the publication of the novel? That raises the question of to what extent psychoanalytic theories are derived from behavioral patterns observed in texts. . . . and I could continue in this vein, but I won't.
Lalalala.
