end of the semester whining / things that are Very Sad
So I have my American Literature final paper due by 2:00 PM tomorrow afternoon. It's 12:30 AM and I'm just beginning to figure out what I'm going to say for it. Thank God I've becoming very skilled with pulling successful essays out of my ass (which I think is a necessary skill for a potential English major), because I'm still not stressing too much about it. I have, however, never been so unmotivated to write a paper in my life. Not even when fanfic plot bunnies hit me on the head and this happened.
Also, last night I watched Grave of the Fireflies, which is definitely one of the most depressing things that one can ever watch, right up there with Titanic and the Lost episode "The Candidate." It's one of those movies for which the feeling of sadness just sticks with you for at least a day after you've watched it. I mean, by the time it reached the point that Seita's narration said "She never woke up" I was just like ;_______; SETSUKO NOOOOOO. As I made note of later that night, "What do you do after you see poor Setsuko die from malnutrition? I HAVE NO IDEA." And then through TV Tropes I ended up finding a link to an AMV set to the song "Chasing Cars" which made me cry again and now I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HEAR THAT SONG THE SAME WAY EVER AGAIN. (Although it did make me realize that "Chasing Cars" also makes for a wicked good Squall/Rinoa song, but that's another story.)
ANYWAY. That's quite enough procrastination for now. I need to get this damn essay written.
