Yaaaaawn
- I am so, so tired. I went to one of the silent study floors of the library to finish reading last week's Poli Sci chapter—mercifully the only class I am slightly behind on the reading in— and napped for an hour instead, read three of the six pages I have left, and came downstairs to sit at a computer and, idk. Drool to myself.
- All I've had to eat today is a single half of a Mars Bar and I've fallen grossly behind, I think, on my eating list. Food, why do I hate and love you at the same time. Why can't we be friends, food. :(
- Despite my tendency to flail utterly and panic at every little academic thing when I am, at least in theory, doing well and keeping up... I am looking at honours thesis and honours practicum courses to do in my fourth year. They'd be in labour studies, which is only half my major, but is honestly looking to be much more viable an option, career wise, than political science. (See, I get majorly ahead of myself because school? Even when I hate it, I love it.)
So if you've done an honours thesis in undergrad, I'd love to hear from you! I'd need to write a letter of intent, which legit sounds like fun to myself, the biggest losergeek not also in Saved By The Bell. Buuut I'm pretty sure if I e-mailed Hot Professor with something like, "I know I'm only a first year but I want to do such and such three years away, let'sget married and discuss ithave dinner and discuss itdiscuss it over a very intense game of Super Smash Brosjust plain discuss it!" he may end up wondering if I'm strange.
Which I am.
The trick is not letting THEM know that.
i don't know who "them" is. - I keep staring at Chocobo Down trying to do something, but time is not on my side. :( I want to, and I need to write something in order to weasel myself back into FFEX after flaking out last whenever it was, and you know, Team Ramuh. But, I don't know how to put energy towards writing-writing anymore.
- I just want to sleep. I'm legitimately considering "accidentally sleeping through", cough cough, my morning lecture tomorrow just for that reason. I've attended every lecture fastidiously up until now, missing one likely isn't going to kill me.
So that's me. How are you guys?

And then she decided to be an idiot and sign up for two holiday fic/art exchanges so. Spectators predict she will spontaneously combust some time during the fourth week of December.
:D
no subject
your life sounds so amazingly busy though :( I hope you'll be able to catch a break in the upcoming weeks!
my school semester is just squeezing in everything this and next week so I'm bidding goodbye to the idea of sleeping at an early hour. BUT SUCH IS THE LIFE OF ACADEMICS!!

I have the headache from hell today (fuck, I thought I was dodging the weather headfuckery this time) but I did NaNo, so that's awesome. And I have my own post to write here in a few minutes.
no subject
I was not around to shout NO at you. This was my fault. :(
no subject
/tucks Yaywon in for all the sleep she needs!
no subject
How is your NaNo going?
no subject
Was yours difficult?
no subject
It's going ok! I broke 28K yesterday, going to top 30 today. By the end of Thanksgiving weekend I should be able to validate. I could probably do it faster, but I am having a rather rough month and so I will simply deal with "only" hitting 50K on the 25th.
no subject
Yeah, that's right, you... settle for winning NaNo early! Settle! c:
no subject
See, the thing is, I've won NaNo so many times (this will be #6 barring, you know, horrible death of everything) that "just" winning it almost doesn't count in my head because my brain is SO GOOD at moving the goalposts; my brain is never satisfied at what I can do. My original plan for this month involved writing something like 75K over the month and then only having about 5-10K to go to a full draft, but between rushing to finish Every Light at the end of October and various RL things, it's not going to happen. I'm disappointed in myself, but I'll live.
no subject
Next year, you can do better! Assuming you're not too busy drunkenly racing your way through FFXII (or whichever game you'd be playing in November). That's a life choice I also support. :D
no subject
It is a good life choice! :D I think actually November is an off/catch-up month because we both want to do NaNo.
no subject
But I disapprove of this off-month thing because... because. (nottalking) ...sob I can flounce from plurk but I can't flounce from expressing myself in plurkmotes.
no subject
I miss plurkmotes when I am not on plurk so much. I'm not actually sure what we'll do with November; it's legit possible we'll still be playing FF10 then, because it's kind of a long game!
no subject
But yeah, definitely looking forward to you guys playing FFX.
no subject
I haven't played FFX-2 since...2004? I keep meaning to go back and NG+ it but ffffff.
no subject
Wow I'm saying a lot of words at you. The benefits of procrastinating!
no subject
Sometimes bounciness is a nice antidote to, say, the grimness of an SMT game, though.
IT IS THE BEST THING. I actually have missed having comment chains on DW.
no subject
Yeah, true story. Although that reminds me, I want to finish DDS1... (Having my ps-2 be packed away is majorly depressing since it was still my primary console.)
As have I! I was just pointing out to a friend earlier how much I prefer spamming DW than spamming, say, Plurk. Okay one day I will stop being a bitch about Plurk.
no subject
On the other hand DW enables better thought-out discussions. I look at it as a both/and not an either/or, but I am getting relatively good at dealing with Plurk-related headbees, so there's that.
....I want to play video games now. BUT I HAVE TO WORDS. tragedeeeeee. ;_;
no subject
no subject
but I really just want to be irresponsible and play games all the time, which is dumb because I did this to myself insisting on finishing EL before NaNo, and ugh.
no subject
Also I totally vote irresponsibility.
no subject
(I totally took advantage of a great deal that GameStop offered in the summer, where they'd give you a $50 gift card if you bought a Vita, which basically made the Vita like 20% off. I was ON THAT.)
...I would like to vote irresponsibility but I also want to finish this book and publish it, so. siiiiiiiigh why am I a grownup.
no subject
I hate the fact that playing videogames isn't automatically conducive to productiveness in every other area of life. How dare dinner not cook itself while I play FFVIII for the 1300th time! D
no subject
No, DW stripped out my punctuation. It was an angry frowny face!
no subject
Really I just need to manage my time better, but....meh. (I may get slightly better at this after Glitch closes, but more likely I'll just find some other way to be unproductive.)
