OOC: Nnnnnnnnnnnnngh
All right. So I just finished the semester. For most of you people, and over winter break for me, this indicates a massive splosion of YES TIME TO RP NOW oh and possibly leave the house .
Unfortunately in my case it means the start of eight weeks of summer classes. For the next three weeks I'll be in class from 3:30 to 7 PM for four days a week. This is one class. One. I have 100+ pages of reading every night and 200-250 on the weekends. I figured 'hey, a lot of it's on the computer, I can do this and RP, right?'
Which I attempted to do last night. This resulted in me being up until 4 AM and getting up NOW, groggy and retarded and still needing to pull my brain together enough to put together a coherent response for the class website, get my lazy ass showered and go to class at 3:30 to do it all again.
So basically this means, sadly, that I really REALLY have to get my face out of Livejournal for at least the next couple weeks. When I was an undergraduate, let's face it, I totally fucked off a lot of the time because A) my English and film classes were easy and B) I really, really did not give a shit what kind of grade I pulled in anything else. D for Diploma and all that. This is why I graduated with a 3.3 instead of a 4.0. There was no reason I couldn't have, except that frankly, I really didn't want to put the time into, say, meteorology that I could have put into clipping my toenails.
However. I'm in an MA program now, so that's not so much an option anymore. Graduate school does expect you to do work, and a lot of it. It's not an A or B situation, it's an A or fail situation. You excell or you bomb, there's no much in between.
So that's what I need from myself, just to shut up, quit whining, and do the damn work. Or perhaps do the work accompanied by endless whining, I really don't care. What I need from YOU guys though, because I have no willpower, is to tell me to GO AWAY AND DO YOUR (MY) HOMEWORK. In fact, stop writing this ridiculously long explantion right now and go to the class website. GO.
If you see me online, because I will doubtless be there, PLEASE make sure if I'm RPing I can actually afford to be RPing. I love it dearly and I love you all so very very much, but I also love not spending close to $25,000 for no reason.
Also, messages of encouragement would not be spit upon. I'm just sayin'.
So yeah, that's it. Thanks for your time.
