AHHH!!! REAL FINALS!!!
They're real and they're here...well almost. I've been a mess and totally scatterbrained and procrastinating more than ever. It's the first semester where I've felt like school was not that important and classes the last thing on my mind. It didn't help that I had to spend pretty much this entire month moving, looking for apartments, planning, and packing and moving some more with tons of family drama thrown in.
Screwed myself over just a bit for next semester...didn't get advising done til today and registration was today. I thought registration was like next week. Dr. Ryan didn't clear my hold until later today because she'd been bombarded with masses of emails because ULINK screwed up and people couldn't register. Two of the classes I wanted were filled fast 692: Queer Theory and 681: Scenes of Reading. I'm waitlisted (1st place) for 681 because not everyone is clamoring to get in there. As for Queer Theory, there's no chance. I emailed Kopelson, and she said she was bummed that she couldn't let me and a bunch of other people she liked in the class. She said she still loves and has a special folder where she keeps the Kittical Theory book I made her.
I got into the two most important classes and classes I wanted most: Medieval Law and Lit with Rabin and the Black Death with Beattie. I've also decided to take creative writing instead of 692; let's hope that goes well.
So workload for this week is quite heavy:
Tomorrow:
Reading and Response for Chaucer
Annotated Bib for Chaucer
Response Question on The Waves (not hard)
Thursday:
Reading and Response for Chaucer
Annotated Bib for Crusades
Book Review for Crusades
Archival Research Paper 19th c. lit
Holding on to my sanity by a mere thread. Been cleaning a lot--it's a sort of defense mechanism that kicks in when I'm stressed. I can't think and get frustrated until the mess is cleaned. I've also been eating a lot of chocolate and drinking a lot of coke. Okay enough procrastination, back to work.
