I was so angry in class today. The professor split us into groups to read and discuss Pericles' Funeral Oration. Then he tells us he wants us to 'deconstruct' it. I had not done this before (which makes me think my education is somewhat lacking), and it was really confusing. So I was on edge. and then he keeps talking about the method and the text and I can't read with him talking, so I'm more on edge. And then he realizes that this is the last ten minutes of class. So he hurries us to read and discuss a new text in a new way in 2 minutes. I was so frustrated. I wanted to strangle him.
Part of it, I'm quite sure, is the fact that I didn't get to sleep last night until nearly 7. I was in bed and ready to sleep at 2:30, but then I got an important idea, that wouldn't go away. I got up and entertained my idea, but then I couldn't sleep. So now I'm tired and caffeinated. Blargh.
