rambly rambly
Aside from the essay, which is like pulling teeth, things finally seem to be panning out a bit. I really need to work on my essay writing/studying skills. I can pull off night-before jobs really well, but its wearing, and not the healthy for my state of mind when I'm living on the edge, hoping to hell what I write will work, and thinking everything I hand in is going to be crap. I'm just not a historian. On the other hand, I get 87 percents on first drafts in Writ that are supposed to be a third or forth, so who know. Yay for brinkmanship?
On assignments, I'm really anxious about my CNF final assignment. I went to talk to my prof today about it, as the issue is a bit prickly, and if I were to publish it, (eventually I'd like to, if I can figure out how to swing it,) there is a giant potential for me to loose my rock awesome (hehe pun) summer job. But Melanie said some reassuring things, even said she'd laughed her arse off at my query letter and wanted me to give it a good try.
Rhyerson are a bunch of dumb heads. Didn't get back to me about the program, so if I were to apply now, it would be in my fourth year that I'd go, but with the courses that wouldn't transfer I'd be willing to be I'd have to take another year. Not worth it. I'll finish of my degree here, and then run away to live like a hermit in the woods and write books get a respectable job.
The house now is nuts, but nothing that won't be solved in a few months. Depending on the shake down, housing may actually go very smoothly for next year. Fingers crossed though.
In other happy news, I had a moment doing the dishes a few days ago where I thought to myself, 'Oh. Shit. I think I just lost my direction in university. Uh, what am I going to take next year? Guys? Guuuuuys?' It was terrifying.
If it doesn't kill me this year, I think I'll continue with Japanese. French too, as much as I love to hate it. Maybe a Japanese history class. Who am I kidding, I just want to pester Tim. Less of the History though, for sure, and stupid English courses like Can Lit. Maybe I'll do a semester abroad or something. Maybe I'll go over to the dark side and become a Linguist. Maybe I'll get off my ass and finish a story.
