you know whats been happening to me? it happens all the time, just its really recognizable now that i have all these papers all at once. it's very frustrating. but i like write major parts of my papers in my head, on the brink of sleep, or actually in my dreams. like i'm brilliant within the realm of sleep. and it isn't a dream perception that what i'm doing makes sense, IT DOES. it's like i access a part of my brain that for some reason, while i'm awake resists me bitterly. sometimes i can remember little bits and use them in my papers. mostly i forget almost entirely and then feel mad, cuz i've been working my brain double time and have half as much to show for it. i had my whole intro to my king horn paper worked out, and now i'm struggling.

here's a question. what precisely would you take style to mean in this prompt?: How does the style of King Horn help to convey the poem’s theme or themes?

now, if this were say a journal entry, i could say a bit about rhyme and meter, and be done with it. but this is a 4000 word essay. so i think i'm gonna take the liberty and actually use the configuration of events (i.e. symmetry, repitition, that sort of thing) under the heading of 'style'. is that retarded? am i gonna fail? cuz otherwise, how can i tie it to THEME? erg.

ugh. i have been SO bad today. i spent about 2 hours with my family...took a 2 hour nap... i've still got next to nothing done on this paper. an intro. a big long quote, the start of an actual body paragraph...less than a page and a half. i've collected a bunch of quotes tho, and collectively, they make up 13 lines..another half page. i don't know where to put them. they're all from one book. i'm having the hardest time even getting ideas out. and i have no idea how they are gonna generate ten pages. if this were a 4 page paper i could deal. but i don't see how i can find enough to say...

and i wanna watch the oscars!

i think i'll just settle for steve martin's opening. i'm keeping away from the preshow, tho, showing willpower. they're still showing what ppl are wearing, without actually stopping to interview them.

does anyone have a clue as to why the oscars are wasting HUGE amounts of time by replaying the winners reactions RIGHT AFTER they win???? this is retarded. even steve martin's opening was lame, and generally i love him. his little in between jokes are stupid too.

so today wasn't a total loss. i managed to do one of my back assignments in my narrative writing class. which means i'm only one behind now. which is good. i'll put it up in just a minute in [livejournal.com profile] karenscribbles. i even wrote a journal entry about it, which i'm supposed to do on every assignment, but haven't. ho hum. i will however, NOT be doing my reading for theory class tomorrow. know why? cuz i DON'T CARE. that class can kiss my arse. It has destroyed me, i swear.

anyhoo. i should get to bed, since i have a long day of paper writing ahead tomorrow. story of my freakin life.
