I'm slowly working my way to core-deep rage. Anger has been completely bypassed en route. I'm pretty sure it had been lurking beneath the surface for some time, but...

Well, first, we'll start on a couple of high notes.

1. I turned my thesis in today. All of it. I was told that "I'm DONE." I've started a mental check-list of people I'll never have ( Read more... )

Just read this in a Sherlock fanfic:

"the urge to achieve orgasm is, like the urge to urinate, normal, uninteresting, and not something I have any interest in sharing with others."

This description is absolutely perfect.

Speaking of asexuality, that topic came up in my thesis defense. There's a part in H.M.S. Surprise where Sir Joseph Blane is ( Read more... )

It gives me something to do while awaiting some ridiculous, pointless, yet at the same time anxiety-causing event, such as a test that I'd barely prepared for or a Thesis Defense that, again, has seen almost no preparation.

Oh God, this is going to be a shit-show. But...the funny thing is, I'm not really worried. In fact, I'm more worried over the ( Read more... )

So, I'm trying out Pandora. I tried "Erland and the Carnival" but I suppose that band is too obscure for Pandora. Then I remembered someone mentioning that their songs sound like a band called The Clash. So I put that in instead. The first two songs that played were "I Wanna Be Sedated" by The Ramones and "Psycho Killers". My dad had told me to ( Read more... )

I should be preparing for tomorrow's review session that I'm conducting. I should be grading the mountain of paperwork that has accumulated over this week. I should be preparing for my history exam next Monday. I should fill out my grad school application. I should be editing my thesis and writing my Works Cited page(s).

But, guess what just came ( Read more... )

OMG. I was mind-raped by the immunobiology exam. I had spent hours preparing for it. I hadn't studying that intensely since biochemistry and I was still woefully unprepared. It was a good test though: it tested understanding not just memorization. However, a few details were never explicitly mentioned in class and the professor is not a native ( Read more... )

This week was rather trying. I over-studied for my plant test and over-prepared for my physics stuff. As a result, I barely had any time to work on my thesis. On Friday morning I woke up at 5:30 to get some stuff done before I had to see Prof Limey. I typed up an outline for him and when I showed it to him the first thing he did was point out very ( Read more... )

I have about 15 minutes before I need to rush off to plant lab. Ugh. I don't think "busy" is anywhere near the right word for what my life has become. Then again, I did almost nothing over the weekend (though I did get about 200 pages of history read...from the right textbook this time).

My thesis continues to get more and more absurd everytime I ( Read more... )

I'm taking a quick break from my annotations, which is really quite fun. I'm learning quite a bit about ships and sailing. I was reading The Letter of Marque after I decided to call it quits last night and found that I now understand a lot of the more nautical happenings in the novel.

But my main reason for this entry is to record the order in ( Read more... )

Instead of updated my story yesterday after class, I was at guy-friends' apartment until past midnight. Having to get up at 7 this morning sucked and I napped for about an hour and a half after my first class today. I have my plant lab class in an hour. It's a bit funny because the TA for that class was someone who had joined the judo-club I tried ( Read more... )
