I interrupt my essay writing to say that this season's Survivor is the BEST SURVIVOR SEASON EVER. I have never sat and laughed my ass off at Survivor for so many weeks IN A ROW. If you guys haven't been watching, you've missed some Good Good Stuff.

It's actually quite amazing that a bunch of women actually got their acts together and joined forces. IT'S ABOUT TIME. Oh my god I have tears running down my face from laughing so hard.

And now I go back to writing. I'm up to a whole 940 words. Heh.

Okay, here we go: My last paper is due tomorrow morning. I'm 900 words into the 2000 word paper. I have a big frozen lasagna in the oven and a large glass of Mt. Dew with ice next to me. I have my stupid Waste Land book in my lap and the laptop on and Judge Judy on TV...

I really hope I can get this last one out.

Tonight is D-Day(/Night). My last paper is due tomorrow morning. It's the 2000 word Literary Criticism of The Waste Land, and I'm 900 words in, 1100 to go. I am exhausted and my brain is fried I don't feel like I have the energy to finish this, but I'm going to get a 2-liter of Mt. Dew on the way home, send Spike out for burritos, and set down to writing.

Mt. Dew = Magical Essay Writing Juice

From Friday afternoon on it will be all alcohol all the time through the weekend. Now I understand why college students drink so much.

Guess what I'm going to see, probably with my favorite professor?

Midsummer Night's Dream.

Click on it with your speakers on and watch the preview.

And then tell me you're not jealous.
:-D

Super Fantastic Spenser essay all complete!
After school today I work on my Spanish presentation (on Daddy Yankee, HAAAR) with my partners for Wednesday.
Then I finish the last 1100 words of my Literary Criticism paper, due Friday.

That's about IT, Folks!!!

Turned in my Chaucer essay today, it came in at 3300 words (and 11 pages with 2 pages of works cited).

My Spenser essay has to be 2000 words (around 5 pages) and I'm 150 words into it (due tomorrow) but I finally have a good thesis in mind and it's progressing. I can always count on good old Ovid for inspiration.

I have my Mt. Dew here next to me and expect to be up until at least 1am.

I am happily writing away!

At 2700 words and 2 pages of works cited I am all finished but the conclusion. I think I'm going to put that paper away until tomorrow, take a break from it and then write the conclusion with a clear head. Just in time to print it for school!

And now I BEGIN my 2000 word paper on Spenser's Epithalamion. Don't hate, I know you want to write one too.

I can't believe I've written over 3000 words in only a few days... My cold isn't 100% gone (because I'm not getting enough sleep or healthy food) but as long as I can keep it at arm's length I'll be okay.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I ONLY NEED TO PASS THREE MORE CLASSES TO GRADUATE!!!!!!!

2000 words done on my Chaucer essay, 1000 words to go, due tomorrow.
(sighhhhhh...)

Nothing done but the title of my Age of Elizabeth essay, 2000 words to go, due Tuesday.

900 words done on my Waste Land essay, 1100 more to go, due Friday.

On Saturday I'm going to sleeeeeeep.

The first 2-3 pages of our 2000 word papers in Literary Criticism are due Friday morning. I just finished over three pages and 900 words so I'm printing out my copies for class right now (1:00am). We had a choice of The English Patient or The Waste Land to write on. You can guess what everyone else chose... I decided to be different and take the harder route and chose The Waste Land. Now that I'm over my cold I think it's going to be a good paper.

The entire thing isn't due until next Friday, so after this that paper is going to sit until Tuesday.

Starting tomorrow evening I'll be frantically pounding out my 3000 word research paper for my Chaucer class. It's about the Blood Libel stories and Chaucer's "Prioress' Tale". Nice and bloody and gory - it's going to be a fun paper. Oh yeah, and I haven't started it yet and it's due MONDAY.

I just discussed an entirely different approach for my Age of Elizabeth paper with my professor today. So again I'm going to be different and instead of writing about The Faerie Queene again I'll be writing about Spenser's Epithalamion. And that's due Tuesday.

I'm sure it all sounds boring, but now that I'm not sick I'm having fun and am thriving under the pressure. And after the papers? School is all over except for the Finals.

WOOOOOOO

And now I go to bed so I can be at school by 9:00am. Six hours of sleep, Yayy!
