If You Would Just Look Me In The Eye
I think I'm reaching boiling point with university. I'm simultaneously terrified of graduation in a few months and so fed up with the whole school thing, I could cry.
My work load isn't as much as some, but my god, I'm beginning to panic. I can't bring myself to care, and then I remember that I need to actually work if I want my grades. Then I get cross with myself, and then feel guilty, and then the procrastination wagon rolls back in and the vicious circle starts all over again. Urgh, I'll chill out eventually.
I'm frustrated with my modules mostly. Science Fiction isn't so bad - it's quite easy, though I don't feel like I'm learning much, and I'm oddly excited about my research project (watch out Star Trek fangirls, my project is on Sci-Fi films and fandom >:D)
Popular Animation is making me want to die. I enjoy the topic, Christ I do, but the seminars are just crushing. My group is dominated by this complete twat with a MacBook, who sits there googling stuff, irritating the SHIT out of us with his commentary on the subject - none of which is relevant. There are also these two really rude American girls from California. Seriously, they are walking cliches. They are really blonde, quite dim and speak with a really slow drrawwwlll - think any American teen-flick schoolgirl. They sit and have whispered conversations whilst others talk. They play with eachother's hair during discussion. They comment on how rude the British students are, and then are casually racist about Britain everytime they SPEAK. One of them is under the impression that British people love Bollywood, and that we have no morals. They insult our cinema (apparently all American films are about "uhhh, like, self-discovery?" and British films are all dull), our language (you should have seen them whinge about not understanding the word "pigeonhole") and our general "attitude". I'm not sure how much more we can take before we are REALLY rude back, but at the moment Phil, Mary, Caz, Kyle and I are holding our tongues. Not going to show up the British people, what.
It's a shame, because usually I love talking to people from America - it's amazing how similar yet completely different our cultures are!
Sorry. I ranted. It's been building for 5 weeks. I think I deserved it.
Argrgrghhghghhhhhhh D:
