because non-stop school whingery is not fun
Working on my *annotated* bibliography for CW 199 (as I turned in a plain ol' biblio) I don't know what it is about that class, but it always plunges me into the most horrifying depths of depression and pessimism that I am just not equipped to deal with properly. Ugh, melodrama. I am one happy-go-lucky twit, and I am certainly more than making up for three relatively stress-free in UP. Oh well.
I am, however, keeping up a fairly cheerful, albeit partly desperate/hysterical, outlook on things. I can get all of my work done, given I apply proper time management.
They do not teach that class though :( I mean, I know what it *means* but let's just say that the word 'management' has no place in my life, much less said phrase.
Finally finished "Fool's Fate" by Robin Hobb, thus finally attaining some semblance of closure with my long-standing obsession with Fitz and the Fool's story. Am I happy with the ending? In a way, yes. Do I think that there might be another sequel? I don't think so. I'd certainly be glad, because I'd love reading more of the Fitz and the Fool, and getting my dose of their slashy-as-all-hell relationship, but there's something to be said for possibilities. I'm one of those odd birds that take more comfort in uncertainty than anything else. Always the 'ifs' or 'maybes' than a definite 'not'. Heck, this is why I only finished the books now. I've always been reluctant to face the ends of trilogies/series. (hence the rest of the Ender Saga, collecting dust) Anticipations heightens enjoyment, I say.
I'll probably write a longer entry rhapsodizing about The Farseer Trilogy and the Tawny Man Trilogy later, when I've more time. Basically because those works deserve it. Shame about the fanfiction rant though. Must not dwell because it might depress me or might spin off into currently pointless musings on what MY stand on fanfiction would be should I become a published writer. HAH. Mmmmm, ego-stroking/wishful thinking so late at night.
AND finally seen the Naruto movie! *__* pretty animation and damn, Naruto's facial expressions always cracks me up. Again, will possibly ramble on about this more. Still need to catch up on the manga chapters though. LOTS OF READING TO BE DONE!
Lastly, must work on the 'creative work' payment for Prof. Manalo's free books/comics day thing. Need to think on this a bit, as I doubt he'd be interested in a Shikamaru/Temari fanfic. Hrmmmmmmmm.
The point? Just to set the minds of those who were worrying that I've been stressting too much over school at ease. See? I still do recreational things! Relax, I'm not going to burn myself out, never mind my occasional bouts of hysteria.
ETA: I must ask, what in bleeping hell are these tag things?
Just felt like inquiring. I sound too sedate in most of this entry.
Egads, I'm boring.
