So, after a week of utter bumming around and hardly lifting a finger except when in the pool (yes, I have started to swim a bit again) I decided that my break from the world was over and that I'd better start doing stuff again. Among those stuffs, alas, I count my two 12-page essays ( Read more... )

This post is the product of cold weather and my reluctance to leave the warm confines of the library just yet, as well as the slight sense of shame I always feel when I take up communal work-places to laze around on the internet. So, instead, I shall take up the communal work-space and write a Serious Post of Seriousness. Well, not really, but at ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to see Das kunstseidene Mädchen (The Girl made of Artificial-Silk) in the Aufbau Theatre. This is one of Berlin's many small private theatre companies, and it just so happens that it lies about one block from my apartment ( Read more... )

Gosh, so tired. Just gotta get this off my chest, then I need a nap!

For some reason it's called millenium, so I have a bunch of mails from "millenium". It feels a bit like being in ( Read more... )

Written 7 pages today for the paper. Most of it is very, very rough and the footnotes are a bit of a mess. But it's still a lot and I got in the bulk of the girl/shôjo background I wanted plus the first draft of the series summary. Which leaves the big bulk of the hero background and the analysiz, but I'm trying to be positive here ( Read more... )

They approved my subject =D Now, they actually pretty much approved all the subjects, but I'm still happy. And my supervisor is specialist on literature dealing with queer theory, the female body and identification. Sweet ( Read more... )

So I signed up for a non-credited (but darn useful, I think) little course in how to write a term paper, which I believe is the English term most comparable to the Swedish B- and C-uppsats ( Read more... )
