Jan. 10th, 2007 04:23 pmThat's how I feel. This kind of high-level high-intensity is possible given my capabilities, however... I can't shake this feeling that there is a very real possibility I will short circuit if this continues... oh, say... the rest of the quarter.
I've also decided that writing a BA is like growing bonsai.
And music? I need more of it. Desperately. In the lurch between pcs I am confined to the Reg and May house...and I really only do work when I'm alone in May or at the Reg. And, once I am lappy-ed, I'll still have to figure out what music I have backed up on CD as my old harddrive may not be connectible.
But I've come to the realization that if my music were more convenient, I would never leave the house without it. Stupid CD player being too big and circle-shaped to work with my pockets. I can handle lugging a stack of CDs around in my bag, but I hate juggling books, lunches, phones, and my CD player. Don't even get me started on doors.
There's an Anth gathering now... but I don't want to go, even though there's free food. I want to cook good things, and pair them with green vegetables. (why are veggies so much harder to incorporate than fruit? why can't there be more veggies you can eat raw with your hands?)
MLK day is throwing a wrench in my BA seminar. How are we supposed to cram two weeks worth of stuff into one class period? Oh, and did I mention that I think I have to take my BA in a whole other direction? Yeah, I don't think I can hack the blame-the-education-system approach... I think I'm gonna have to look at in terms of narrative genesis: so this GTO/Gokusen story, when'd it start and why is it reproduced from medium to medium / why does the audience accept the same stereotypes of the genre/story over and over and reward their consistency? And I need to read, from now until eternity, and then I might be close to finishing.
And Uchi-con... OH, GOD. UCHICON.
