*gives cookies to Winamp for yet another aptly-named song* Damn you, assignments. *headdesk ad infinitum*
Yes, madsqueeble, I've obviously lost our bet. Will be dragging you out for tea during CNY week. ^^;
Okay, I shall briefly pat myself on the back for catching up on Japanese studies readings, and I've actually finished Remains of the Day for E Lit before the final lecture this Friday. Whoo! Progress!
But that's where it ends. I still haven't started reading for Sociology (I finally took a look at the list and homaigawdwtf) and History. I've yet to start looking up info for my Japanese Studies research paper (can't think of a good topic to write on... I'm tempted to do the obvious and write about anime but that just seems like a Really Bad Idea. No real reason why, it's just emitting "Don't Write Me Or You'll Screw Yourself Over Like Those People Who Wrote About Geisha and Sushi" vibes). And we're not getting any information on our History paper (I swear this module is JINXED-- textbook arrives two weeks late and aren't enough [yay for my anal checking of the bookstore, got me my copy], first tutorial got cancelled, lecturer having computer troubles and thus unable to provide info for our module assignment), which is making me nervous.
I also feel a wee bit depressed because I feel so inadequate in E Lit class. Anything I want to say feels like it'd be so obvious, then someone else mentions it and it sounds GOOD. Argh. But it's AWESOME to be in a literature class where people are talking and sharing ideas, and not just ones regurgitated from Longman textbooks. It's awesome but I feel so small.
Oh, but this is the module that introduced me to Kazuo Ishiguro, and if anything good turns out, it's that. Must hunt down more of his books. Conrad is fine, I think I'd like him more if I gave Heart of Darkness a second reading, but Remains is just so sweet and sad.
