Someone talk me off this ledge
I'm really kind of just on that edge of panic, and it could either turn really good or really bad. I'm also on that edge of tired that could turn into exhaustion, or might not (assuming i start sleeping again).
I love how 'M' and 'S' are normal ways to classify onoeself in this fandom.
I had a dream last night. I only remember two parts now. one had Dante in it, with him carrying me down an escalator (like, holding me, while he stood on it and the escalator moved, not like, walking down it) and chiding me for reacting to him.
The other part was one of those dreams i have a lot, about a dune-like tactics computer game. I was controlling two pieces, in concentrating on slowly killing all of these smaller pieces in an area, and then when I went back up to my base, I found it completely razed while I wasn't paying attention. I think this one is trying to tell me something. Ignoring the more important thing because I'm too focused on something less essential. What exactly the more important thing and the less essential thing are, though, i'm not sure, because there are a lot of potential candidates right now.
Rob: because linguistics is a sport.
(on phonology rackets and phonology betting being the new show on ESPN)
I really like debating with Sebastian at the table. he's a very dynamic talker. On the other hand, his theory is often sloppy. I'm trying to clean it up for him by taking every hit he leaves himself open for. He's got a lot.
The distinctive features quiz really was easy. I turned it in early so that i could go to the bathroom--my period started. Then in the time left, i wrote a tomapi drabble. The one I promised to jianjian forever ago as part of that drabble meme.
I messed up several time trying to make 13 copies of my cognitive maps. Consequently, I am now in the possession of a lot of scratch paper. :\\\
Rob: so that's my mac plug for the day.
El: your plug for mac plugs?
class: *snicker*
Speakng of Rob. He told me today that he's almost done with reading my paper, and it's very good. When I asked if that meant I was going to pass, he was like "Oh. If that was what you wanted to know, I could have told you you'd pass before I got the paper." So that was a pleasing ego-bloat moment.
We're going to set up an appointment (probably some time next week, because this week I am doing my shit) and go over his comments. I'm really excited.
I'm not sure I'm ever going to get around to properly making my bed. Over the weekend, when I did the sheets, i forgot to remake the bed until it was late (it's amazing how these things slip my mind. You know what they say, out of sight, out of mind. And my desk faces away from my bed) and I was tired. So instead I put the pillowcases back on, and the comforter cover, and then I just. kind of spread the sheet out over the top of the futon, and tucked the top and bottom underneath (the sheet is made kind of like a bag you slip the futon into). And you know what? It seems to work perfectly well. So I may not get around to putting it on properly until the next time I wash the sheets.
Tonight for dinner we had fajitas. I've decided I've got to ween Seb off this uncle ben's so-called 'rice' because it does not count. Luckily, he agrees.
I actually wasn't hungry at all, because I accidentally ordered a coffee at 4 (I'd meant to get a tea. But they had two featured drinks up, one tea, one coffee, and I said the wrong name. So I drank my coffee).
next week:
Monday:
♦article presentations, field methods.
♦coding of reported speech, field methods.
♦segmental phonology project, P&P.
♦Final project presentation, LangID.
Wednesday:
♦Project 5, field methods.
Thursday:
♦final project presentation, Intercomm.
final schedule:
♦Intercomm: May 5th, before 10 am (but really before 12). 15 pages.
♦P&P: May 5th (probably by 5pm, but he hasn't said).
♦LangID: May 9th. (probably by 5 pm, but he hasn't said). 30 pages.
♦Field Methods: May 10th (probably. she said she usually makes the last day of exams the deadline) final right up--details TBA.
I really can't begin to tell you how overwhelmed I am.
