American Lit adds to the workload…
And it’s as I feared…American Lit. is going to join the ranks of those things attempting to kill me.
We have 3 ‘Response Essays’…At least one must be done before the Midterm. [Tho, I do believe I already know what I’m doing that one on…It was pretty much a given when I looked at the list. ‘Gothic Horror & Detective: Poe. Fall of the House of Usher & The Black Cat. Fall of the House of Usher is my all time favorite Poe story, I’ve never actually read The Black Cat, but that will have to change.] We have to have two sources for our essays, and it’s not just on the stories, but can include the history & culture behind the stories, biography of the author & how it is connected, as well as the psychology or sociology of it’s main characters. We can also add how it may relate to the reader today as well as if we have experienced and of the same issues and conflicts and at personal anecdotes.
& yeah…A heck of a lot or reading.
I took a nap, and I’m still feeling so tired. Been (extra) tired the last two days/nights…Shall I blame the return of beyond retched eating habits?
Gods…I seriously was falling asleep in class last night! But I my defense *prepares to duck anything that may be thrown by Raya* It was more like a history lesson than a literature class! I was bored out of my bloody mind! First we read a letter Columbus wrote and then we watched a documentary on him. O.o I swear, I was already tired, shutting off the lights and playing a boring movie was no way to keep me from falling asleep!
Here’s a bit of creepy factor for class…The guy who sat in the desk over from me last night…He’s been in prison for the last 10 years! Haven’t a clue as for what…And I suppose he had the decency to tell the class that’s where he’s been (or maybe he has to. *shrugs*)…Still…Creepyness.
& have I mentioned lately how much parking SUCKS! I had to park across campus last night…Which meant walking back across campus and into a nearly deserted parking lot at 9:00 PM…Yeah…Not my idea of fun.
It’s kind of odd…My last full time semester at NMC…I have a class, which is my last class of the day/week in the same room that I had my first class in my very first semester. My first semester I also had a night class, the only other night class I’ve had. *shrugs* I don’t know…I just find it odd.
Okay…I need to come up with some kind of concept to write about involving linguistics. I’m attempting to figure out if there is a way to write about the linguistics of sub-cultures. I’m not sure there is enough difference in the linguistics tho to be able to write a paper on it.
Ug…I also need to come up with a French speaking city to create a presentation on…Suppose to have our cities by Tuesday…Suppose to have a lot done by Tuesday…Which sucks as I’m managing to get nothing done tonight. Tomorrow…That is my plan, to get as much done as possible. I’m not even sure what I’m suppose to be doing for Mythology at this point…I hate how it’s set up…Children’s Lit. was set up better, easier to follow. I guess I just have to get use to it…I don’t know. *shrugs*
Oh yeah…And apparently I’m going to be a bridesmaid.
Reese & Spoon have changed plans (again). Instead of getting married this fall they are going to be waiting until next July (2012), in the hopes they’ll have money for it by then. & yeah, apparently I get to be in the wedding. O.o
*has Hex’s boots* & I have learned…Not good in the snow. They have NO traction what-so-ever…I may have to attempt to find a way to fix it…Tho I haven’t a clue as to how.
Wasil has to work tonight. *frowns* Which means I don’t get to talk to him. *le sigh* Nights like this, I really regret sending his shirt back to him. (Especially when I found out he figured I was going to keep it! *headdesk*) I could just curl up with it on, and at least have that little piece of him here by me.
Mayhaps tonight shall be an early to bed night…Tho it is already 11:30…*shrugs* [Tech. there is still time for early in comparison to when I’ve been getting to bed…Which yeah, I need to rectify that as well…When I say my good-nights, I need to GO TO BED…instead of linger a little longer.]
OI you have to write the psycology and sociolgy of the charaters!!! OI. I think he has to tell people that he was in priosn.. ehh I dunno the rules over there. well i hope the said wedding plays play out htis time… I took a nap too but I sleep too long and now it’s going to be hell getting back to sleep..

I love writing essays. Fellow students used to think I was a brown noser because I wanted to write more than the maximum. How is teaching? I couldnt ever see myself doing it. RYN: yes, decided not to go. I think it would be better that way

I hope you have some pepper spray or something for that walk across the parking lot! I think parking is like that at all colleges, actually. ♥

I have a free bus pass with tuition, and live a 2 minute walk from the bus stop. It’s absolutely wonderful as I also hate parking (and winter driving, and paying for gas, and paying for parking)
