(no subject)
So the EuStud debate is over and behind me. To recount the agony of the last day before the presentation:
Stayed up till 3+ in the morning before finally giving in to the fact that I hadn't done enough reading to write a 5min speech on post-Napoleonic France AND Europe. Smsed QX to tell him that no I cant do it and I need help. Brain had broken down by then and half an hour was spent on staring blankly into space and freaking out. Woke up about 4hrs later and got to school. Brain'd cleared up and I resolved to read as much as possible within hte day. So I skipped EngLang lecture, nap and lunch, then skipped dinner and pulled an all-nighter. Needless to say I was pretty much dead on Wed, and I would have fainted from sheer fatigue and starvation if not for the potency of caffeine (in tea, thank goodness).
But all's well that ends well. At least it's over and done with and thank god I won't have ot go through something like this during my end-sem papers.

Things to do over the weekend:
- read Clancey, finish pre-write by Sunday
- read The Bluest Eye
- do E Lang tutorial, read up on project requirements
- prepare for lit quiz
- prepare for EuStud mid-term
Less urgent, to complete by next week:
- catch up on SEAStud readings
- brainstorm for ideas for proj for SEAStud
Uni's bad for health and eats your life expectancy, I'm sure.
