BLAH
I'm about to craaaaash dead asleep right now. The only thing keeping me awake is the amusing sounds of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. I've just spent houuurrrrsss doing homework that needed to be done. I've got an exam coming up on Brit Lit class on Thursday and >.< I've got to study more tomorrow. Seriously, I just read book 9 of Paradise Lost aloud to myself. In that older style English, it's so much easier to follow if you read it out loud. I had an easier time reading the African epic of Son-Jara. Whoo. I won't lie, though, I love the stuff we're studying, but it's difficult to sit down and work when you're exhausted.
I was really hoping to read some of Steppenwolf today, though. I spent all my free time hanging out with people. I walked with a friend to Target cuz she had to get some stuff. It's a bit of a trek, but nothing too bad. Makes for great conversation every time, I tell you. And dinner was a hoot, getting about twenty of us at one table laughing up a storm. <3 We spent a good solid hour at the dining commons.
On the topic of Paradise Lost, though, would you have eaten the fruit in the Garden of Eden? The story is slightly different in Milton's version, but I love Eve's little monologue as she thinks over whether or not to take a bite. Part of me thinks that I'd have sense enough to do what is right, but the other side of me says that I'm such a knowledge-addict that I'd just *need* to know what it meant. In a way, the fruit represents enlightenment, power, and enjoyment. Who doesn't want that? I dunno...it's certainly refreshing to get an ol' story rewritten in an in-depth way. It makes you think about it. For one, I'm still wondering if I'm a "steppenwolf" or not.
For all that I talk about books and my schoolwork, I swear I'm still little miss extravert. :P It's because I procrastinate too much by spending time with friends that I have all this work I need to do now. >.< Gah! College gives me so many awesome options to choose from and I'm only human with only twenty-four hours a day. I ignore the fact that I need sleep often. You can sleep when you're dead!!
