Stupefy (Stunning Spell, Stupefying Charm) Description: puts the victim into an unconscious state.
I have this predicament where I have two really big things to do for tomorrow- a bio midterm, and a 2000 word 1/3 of my grade english paper. Why, one might ask, am I posting to livejournal at 11:30 at night instead of sleeping, studying, or writing? Because I am a world class procrastinator who has lost her faith in her ability to write a good English paper. And so I find myself doing things like sitting on the floor of my room wearing soccer shorts and eating popcorn, and spending an hour on wikipedia looking at pages about Harry Potter. Did you know that they have a complete list of every spell used in the books, the origins of its name, its functions, and when it's been used?
Anyways, my real problem is that apparently the last two papers that I've written for this professor have focused too much on the characters and have treated them too much like real people, which has lead to me writing more of a psychological analysis of the character than a good english paper. And this really wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that I'm going to be working with this guy over the summer, and so I really care about what he thinks of my ability to be a good english student/paper-writer-person. If that weren't the case, I would just write the usual psychoanalysis paper, turn it in, get an A- or B+, and call it a day. But now I really care, and happen to be having a confidence crisis. Which, in case you didn't guess, isn't a good thing.
And I don't want to study my bio because I've learned most of it before, so I figure I should know it already, right? Not so, my friend! Apparently the textbook that we used at Highland is out of date, and so now I have to relearn some important concepts which = notfuntimeconsuminghardworkthatIdon'twanttodo.
Moral of the story is that I'm not going to get much sleep, and will be really stressed for the next 15 hours or so.
