(no subject)
Hey, what's going on? Not much is new with me. Literally. My life has been getting progessively more boring these last couple weeks. I'm starting to get worried. So far, the ultimate highlight of my week has been drinking DAB (Dortmunder Actien-Brauerei) beer in German on Monday (thank you David!). It was really good beer, and drinking at 9:00 on a Monday morning definitely has its perks.
Like I said, though, that was the highlight of my week. The rest of it has been spent arguing with people, working, and doing homework. Today I even stayed home from school because I had too much homework to do (figure that one out). And I still didn't get it all done, and have two books to read by next week and one essay to write by Friday. So tonight I'm going to try and stay up as late as I can to get the thing done, because tomorrow night I'm going to escape dammit! I think me and Joe are going to go see a movie. I tell you it'll be the second highlight of my week. And to make it even more pathetic, I've been able to get in to the movies for free for a month and tomorrow will be the first time I've gone.
I really need to do something about the crappiness of all this. I think it's school that's pissing me off the most... some of my classes this semester have been kind of disappointing, to say the least. One of them especially, my Lit by women class, is making me so mad I think I'm going to drop it. This nutty prof that I have is like "feminist this, feminist that" and absolutely cannot talk about anything else--she hasn't discovered any other kinds of criticism besides feminism. It makes me so mad, because while I agree with a lot of it I think judging women's writing only in terms of feminism is more of a limitation than a liberation. And to make it more annoying, her idea of feminism is, "Men are bad. Patriarchy is bad. Having a gender is bad. Defined lines are bad. All books that women write show all these things". Ugggh! Some days I just feel like throwing my book at her!
Anyway, whew, that was a bit of a rant. Like I said, I just need to do something... anything really... just need to get away from school, need to stop writing essays, need to get more sleep, but need to learn more... It drives me crazy, because the second I stop working I feel guilty. I know I should be studying, and there's so much I need to know! And it makes it harder when sometimes I really do want to study (like with German) but can't because I don't have enough time, or have too much other crap to do. And then there's the job on top of that... I like it, but it's so many hours a week and I guess I just don't have time for me anymore...
Anyway. I guess I just need to start making time huh. Because the worst thing about it all is the shitty mood it's put me in, I swear people can't stand to be around me anymore. And some other stuff besides work and school is really bothering me, and it just all adds up to being very stressed out and miserable...
Anyway. I should stop bitching. I've got an essay to write. And as much as I might hope, it's sure not going to write itself.
