a real entry perhaps? yeah maybe. i'm still trying to figure out everything live journal has to offer....i had no idea it was so involved...i don't know how active i'll be in all of it, with this whole drowning under a big wave thing that's happening in school...i've never been so deluged with crap to do. course it has to be my last freakin semester...and in my panic at growing up and getting on with my life, i applied to graduate school! Me, who it took 6.5 years to earn my b.a. (that is if i don't have a breakdown in the next 3 weeks, which is highly possible)! And i'm committing myself to a bunch more years. maybe they won't accept me. maybe whatever job i get won't let me take off at 3 oclock on wednesdays so i can take a medieval lit class. but i so want to. i know its nuts, and i know i may die trying, and i know that an m.a. will probably do me absolutely no good, and i still want to do it. i still want to learn! beeleeeee dat.

they started next door with construction of the houses in earnest...6:30 this morning, right on schedule. it's saturday goddamnit! i hate them. if they are there tomorrow morning, i'm gonna fucking lose it.

i have two papers to write this weekend...5-7 pager for my american lit class "class and gender positioning" or something in Charlotte Perkins-Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" and "Turned". I had other choices, but i think i'm going with Gilman, cuz the other two are novellas, instead of two short stories...and god i so don't know what to write. it's technically not due to friday, but i really want it done so i dont have to think about it anymore. I also have to write a 4 pager on Breadgivers by Anzia Yezierska for my women in the jewish experience class.

then all my big work will be done except for the 15 page play i have to write for my theories of poetry class by dec. 11th. this is the one that will be the breakdown causer, i feel. godwilling, dec 11th will be my 3rd toad concert in december(8th in total), and the last time i step on campus as an undergrad...

i need breakfast.

Yeah, this place can feel labyrinthine (I just made up that word--like it?)...it's like the more you look into it, the more you discover.

I hope the grad school thing works out for you. Just don't ask Lacy how she likes it... ;)

I SO could not deal with 6.30am construction waking me up. I would grab a bazooka and go postal. I hope that doesn't last. Ugh!

Yay for your real entry!!

the construction thing will last. for oh, about a year or so. at least. they're building two houses and have only just begun digging foundations. ugh.
