The Making of a Media and Cultural Theory Paper
8:43 pm - Annnnnnd I'm back. Pizza - yummy. "Sanctuary" - fantastic, as usual. Wonderful theorizing and fanwanking with rm_renfield. We decided that "Five by Five" happened between "New Moon Rising" and "The Yoko Factor". Has this been discussed anywhere else?
8:58 pm - Wow. I type really fast. ::is mesmerized by fingers flying over keys while typing up quotes::
9:01 pm - This is bad. 10 pages of quotes and I haven't even gotten to the Tomlinson. I *really* wish the prof had limited the authors for this question. You can't give me seven authors in a question and tell me to use as many as I need to answer it. Of course I will try to use them all! I am compulsive that way! It's just cruel. It's like turning on a light and watching the moths all throw themselves at it. I'm a moth! ::flails::
9:10 pm - Must. Stop. Honestly, I've got over 4,000 words worth of quotes (hee - Wordsworth) for a 1000-1200 word paper. I need to stop collecting info and start collating it. Six authors shall be enough, and really, Tomlinson got the short end of the stick, but I'll use him a lot in the other paper, so it'll all work out.
9:14 pm - I should feel grateful. This question, at least, is fairly interesting. The other one not so much, but I'll get to that one tomorrow. For this one, I get to pick my media revolutions, and I hereby pick TV and the Internet. Unfortunately, only two readings actually pertain to those two revolutions, but I'm making it work. I have 4,000 important words, dammit, and they're all getting a piece of the pie. I need to turn off the music, really. I thought I could handle classical music while transcribing notes, but that part is kinda over now. Unfortunately. Or fortunately, considering I'm that much closer to being done.
9:16 pm - Have I mentioned my fantasy world? It's a world in which I finish both MCT papers and the VC paper and study for the HoB exam all in the next three days. Then I get to stay home and watch goodies on my projector for days until the CA100 final. It is NOT a world in which I put off the papers until I am scrambling to finish them by noon on the 20th before frantically packing and driving home. Just to be clear.
9:18 pm - Wow, this whole "time stamp" thing was a lot cooler when I wasn't flitting away from the paper to add something every two minutes. I'm such a wimp. Once I get started, I know it won't be so bad. I wish I was smart enough to know that I know that. Sigh. Okay, for real now. I'm going to outline. See you much later.
